Default Hi-Point handguns

went to the local gun store today to pick up some brass and a new toy when i started looking at a few of the Hi-Point pistols....wow. i really dont know. i bought a glock .45 and thought it felt like a toy and shot like ---- compared to my Sig p220 .45. i have a few handguns and have shot alot of different guns, but never one of these. it feels like i picked up a toy at toys r us. and there dirt cheap. the guy behind the counter was telling me there nice, blah blah blah. but i really dont know. i almost wanna buy one just to try. i mean, there made in dayton ohio and seem sturdy, i just dont know.
anyone own one, or fire one? just seems like a shittier version of a glock.

also, anyone ever shoot a Beretta CX4 in a .40 , the same shop had one for 500 new with two extra clips!! there go on gunbroker and auctionarms for around 650-750 pending on the seller and condition might go back tomorrow for it

i held the kel tec and thought if felt sort of weird, just not comfortable to hold.
i figured the hi-point would just be an expensive paper weight just seeing what people had to say other than the guy trying to sell me one

I heard they are junk, but my only "real" multiple-use experience is with my Springfield XD 45 which I enjoy. When I was looking for a gun they handed me a Glock in the same price range, and yeah it felt like a cheap toy (however they seem to be good guns). This doesn't feel too much better being a polymer gun, but it feels solid compared to the similarly priced Glock.

They're good if you want to shoot someone and then throw it in the river!

They're crap throwaway guns that are innaccurate and extremely ugly, that being said they go bAng when u pull the trigger.

Good enough for Jamal to have you empty your pockets.

damn jamel
i dont even like my glock. i dont wanna shoot wad cutters out of it, and it is to inaccurate to waste jacketed rounds on. plus i feel like i am holding the gun from duck hunt.
i scoped a few 1911 Kimber's when i was there, wasnt to impressed by those either. seemed like an cheesy colt for the same price.
