The Kel-Tec seems like an interesting pistol. The Hi-Points seem like bricks. True, there is something to be said for getting a .45 new for under $200 retail, but the Hi-Point I saw made a Lorcin look like a masterpiece; it was also incredibly heavy, and the slide had a lot of sideways slop--more than I've seen on any other gun when "in battery". If they'd gone with barrel-mounted sites this might not have been too much of a problem, but sights mounted on a wobbly slide don't seem to conducive to accuracy.
