Without a Hi-Point, people who cannot afford a Glock will have to use a broom to protect themselves.
Gone are the days of the 1900s when you could buy a cheap .22 for $2.00. Then by 1968 there were IMPs, RGs Spanish made junk priced at $9.99, the came the 1968 gun control law, and cheap guns began to disappear, to be replaced by RG (Rhom Ghimbh)slightly larger guns to meet the 1968 GCA requirements.
One newspaper (THE DENVER POST) tried to get the Ruger .22 auto pistol listed as a “Saturday night special”.

Back about forty five years ago I read an interesting book on home security during a break in or riot.
The author suggested one room as a safe room, locks and such, then if they break in there, the homeowner was to break apart a pair of scissors and tape it to the end of a broom.
This was written during the very anti-gun days after the killing of Bobby Kennedy.
From the jam-o-matic Hi-Points I’ve seen the broom would be an improvement.
Hi-Point product is quite properly in the “throw at enemy and hope they are dumb enough to attempt to use it” category, in my experience. There are many other options at similar cost to Hi-Point offerings that aren’t made of failure and shame.
