Hi-Point on this board? 
Seems you can't mention one of these on some boards without having to dodge arrows all around.
I had seen so much bad about these guns that I bought one over the weekend to see if it was a bad as everyone says. I had never even seen one until Friday. I looked it over, and OK, it's not a Colt, or a Browning, but it costs $140.00 NIB. I figured what'd I have to lose? I had a 38 revolver I didn't like, and never used, so I swapped it and 7 bucks cash for a C9, 9mm, and a box of American Eagle, 9mm, 115 gr, FMJ.
I think the gun is comfortable in my hand. Others have said they're top heavy. It's not pretty, but does have a solid, functional look about it. Like a tool. The Single action only trigger is not bad at all. The sights are good, and fully adjustable. The gun holds 8+1 rounds. The safety is too small I think, but is positive, and in the right position for me. I'd like to see it a little bigger. The front of the trigger guard is hooked for a two handed hold. The magazine release is in the push button in the grip style.
I took it around back of the shop, to the range, and ran a box of ammo through it with no malfunctions. Every round went BANG. Every empty shell kicked out. It then loaded the next round until the magazine was empty. And it made some really impressive groups on the target when my wife did her job. (She's a better shot than I am.) When I shot it it refused to co-operate the same as all my other guns do. It's a conspiracy I tell you.
With nothing to do yesterday, we went back to the range, and put another two boxes of the same American Eagle ammo through it. Again no malfunctions, and some groups that measured 1" at 7 yards.
Now, I'm not going to tell anybody that this is as good a gun as you can buy. I will say that so far it appears to do the job it was designed to do. To be an inexpensive handgun that a person could buy and take home without having to break the bank to get it. For a lot of people it might be all the gun they can afford.
I'm going to keep on shooting it to see just what you can expect for $140.00 bucks, made in the USA, and with a lifetime warranty. You can probably tell I like the silly thing. It's sort of like an ugly puppy no one wants.
Got my nomex suit on.
