Hey, my step-son has a Hi-Point .40 S&W, and that sucker is nice for the price. I was hedging on those until he brought his over to the house. Now I'm on the cusp on picking one up for myself. It's also the most jam-proof of the Hi-Points, from what I hear - his FFL guy said it plays nice in the sandbox with just about any .40 load you bring to the table. And it's a lot sturdier than I expected, especially with so much of the frame being composite. Good weight and balance to it.
"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

I have it, and it has never jammed and takes whatever you feed it. The price is affordable for almost anyone, around 179.00. The wife thinks it has a hefty kick but I don’t think it’s bad at all.
