It seems that people have a true hatred for Hi-Point.

I have .45 pistol and man is that thing a brick. Almost no recoil, because the shock is absorbed by the slide. In fact, if you invert my .45, have the barrel pointed up, and you jerk the pistol downwards, the weight of the slide will actually chamber a round.

I have never had a problem with jamming and to be frank I have always been of the opinion that if you shoot your pistol enough, you will learn how it shoots. Each firearm is different. My Hi-Point is pretty damn accurate in my hands but probably not someone else's.

I have it as a truck gun. It isn't pretty, it isn't easy to carry and you certainly aren't going to conceal carry it. But (mine at least) goes bang every time I pull the trigger and the bullet goes where I aim it (not always where I want it). They are fun, cheap and in my very understated and often misguided opinion, reliable for the range and fun times. All that being said, it isn't the one I use for self defense.

I have never had a problem with mine.  It's a truck gun, abused, rarely maintained, etc...  Shoots every time for me.. :dunno:

Not sure if there's any truth to it but I heard a story from a guy about his buddy riding around on a fourwheeler in Arizona for a whole day in 90+ degree heat and his Hi-Point was in a holster on the front of the quad and it was warped from the heat. He swears it actually deformed the gun!  :yike:
