Anyone tried Hi-Point?

This will arouse some feelings! Anyone tried a Hi-Point polymer pistols?

I don't know anything about them first hand, but I do like their looks.

Shooting Times has a positive review on their .45ACP and 40S&W:

I have one in .380 (got it for the wife many years ago). I think it's ugly as a bag of elbows and the balance is weird (very top heavy even with a full mag), but it goes boom every time I pull the trigger and makes a hole about where I intended a hole to be made. A lot of people bash them but function and reliability are acceptable, even exceptional for the price.

i had one, but sold it. never did have any problems with it. i would never trust my life with one, but for the price its a great gun for target practice.

The .45 actually has gotten good reviews for reliability and accuracy, although it's very heavy (as a straight blow-back .45 has to be).

They're ugly, and everyone will laugh at you.

In 9mm, from the two examples I've personally handled, shot and worked on, are jam-o-matics. My personal experience with the 9mm carbine is that it, too, jams easily and frequently.

Your mileage may vary.

I have two and love them both, hundreds of rounds and no problems

I had a 9mm carbine, almost bought a .380 pistol, but later decided against it...I hear they are great, will run forever, but I just couldnt get past the shape and weight distribution...

I have a .40 carbine, it's ugly as hell but very accurate. Lots of fun, and hasn't faltered yet.

High Point makes the baby Jesus cry.

Straight blow-back design in 9mm, .40, and .45 ACP. Then, in order to save weight, they start making ones with polymer frames.

Does anyone else find that to be kind of funny?
