Hipoints are innaccurate pieces of ----. If you trust one as your car/carry/self defense gun, you deserve to have a FTF in a bad situation. I've dumped 1000 rounds through one at the range, not cheap ----, but not expensive ammo either, Winchester white box stuff. Every 30th round or someshit with the 9mm would fail to feed into the gun. It had an issue with cases coming through the ejector cracked too. Bad news bears.

If you are going to get a budget handgun, Ruger P95's can be had in decent used shape for like $200.. Almost bought one for $250 the other week with 5 extra mags and a holster.

2-3" with good ammo (read handloads/hornady TAP stuff) and a decent gun isn't hard. Hipoint+commerical surplus=no. It's like going from a Class F Rifle to an out of the box Remington SPS (Since I can't think of a cheap shitty rifle) at 1000 yards. *Disclaimer, I love Remington 700 series* Or like going from Wolf .223 Military Classic to Handloaded Lapua Scenar ----.

white box is the cheap ----. but you must have got a lemon or something man. my hi-point has been nothing but perfect, not one malfunction out of it. easily the most accurate handgun i own, a tad better than my 24/7 and miles better than my kel-tec.

Then you have a factory freak.. Kinda like those SSAC turbos. Would you really trust your life to it?

must have, and yes i would.

but alot of people also hate taurus and kel-tec, but i love both of mine. i also have a remington 597 to plink with and most people say how great they are, but i have had a decent bit of problems with mine. you win some and you lose some i guesse.

Kel-tec ftfw! I just say that because I had one for awhile and liked it a lot. My bro had a 9mm Hi-point and it was alright. Probably along the lines of a Romanian made AK-47 or like the SAR-1 made for civilians. So made with inferior quality parts, but simple and do function most of the time. He always brought it along when we went shooting and put a bunch of rounds through it. I found it decently accurate I guess. It did jam every 30 or so too. Good beater gun.

I've never used them so won't comment, but usually price will give you an idea of the quality. If it's really cheap, it's being pumped out en masse at factories with little quality control, and while some get "perfect" guns, many won't.

I wanted to make sure whatever gun I buy, would not fail on me when I needed it most, and got one that wasn't a cheap gun. For general plinking at the range, I wouldn't mind a cheap gun, but even then I'd rather spend the extra money on one that won't cause me a headache.

For ranging, I use the cheapest blazer ammo from walmart. For my "defense" clip, it's fully loaded with pricey jhps.
