I own all kinds of hand guns. Revolers, autos and BP, and all brands Ruger, SW Springfield, Glock and military surplus. I bought 2 Hi-points a 380 and a 45. They are what they are, inexpensive guns that work. Yes some have issues but how many expensive guns have problems and the answer is "need to break them in". People are ok with that answer because the guns cost alot? Makes no sense to me, they should work out of the box. My two Hipoints have worked well, I had to tweak the extended mags on the 380 but other than that zero issues. The 45 hasn't missed a beat. So I pull the trigger, it goes off and I hit the target. How is that bad? They're not trying to be the fanciest race ready gun out there, they are made to be affordable guns. And they have a lifetime warranty, no matter h ow !any people.owned it before you.
