 :) You are looking for a gun to use in the last resort in defense of your life, or  someone else. Get something that will work, what is your life worth? :dunno: Is it worth more than saving 300$.? Maybe you should stick with  a ball bat until you can buy a used Glock or something. I am guessing but I bet you can buy a gun for 3-400, that is a known good gun. Glock, S&W, Springfield.

If you can't save anymore money, then get the Hi-point.  But, I would recommend saving a little more and getting one you really like.  I shot a HI point one time and if the purpose of your purchase is to squeeze the trigger when needed then it will work.  But if you buy a gun you should enjoy shooting it also,  and they are not that comfortable to hold.

No way Jose.   :bdid:  You are better off buying a good quality used gun than buying a new cheap one.  :twocents:

I have the 9 and the 45 shot hundreds of rounds 1 or 2 jams on the 45 with cheap ammo. Weird thing is anything I have shot with either one has ended up with holes in it, maybe a little heavy but then again so is my ruger 44 super redhawk.
But that was of course before ALL my firearms sank to the bottom of the bay 8) 8) :tup:

Personally if I was going with a 9mm I would go with the ruger lc9s. Great gun. Paid 360$.  Haven't had one jam yet with mine. Have shot 200 rounds through it so far.

I heard a lot of reviews stating magazine issues with the high point. They are big and heavy. Not the prettiest gun so I pass on it.

don't shoot wolf or tulammo ammo in any gun except a revolver you don't care about.  try to get a good used gun .  if you don't have the funds don't buy new.   mike w

yes, IF it is all you can afford. the old hi-points had problems, they now are guaranteed to function. I have heard mostly decent things about function. ergonomics? looks? maybe not. like the guys said, if you can put away 350 or more you can get a good brand, but from what I have seen the hi-points tend to work, and if it is all you can afford then 150$ hi-point beats throwing rocks...
