Interesting observation......... However, that does not explain the love affair people have with the AK47 clones. That is a gang banger weapon, but your thesis does not hold true for other people loving the weapon. I think that is because they are reliable, inexpensive and powerful.

Not true at all. I know people who would not listen, purchased them, discovered they are junk and now hate them. Having worked at a gun range and being an instructor for several years, I have NEVER seen one that DID NOT malfunction.

Aside from them being ugly as homemade soap, heavy enough to anchor a battleship, and as "ergonomic" as a cinder block, they're fine guns.

Again, that is not my personal observation.

For some reason, people think any gun you buy has to be a "premium" brand or it's trash.

Again, not true. There are several tiers of firearms, all of which I have observed, but Hi Point IS in the trash level. .

Their service is excellent. You'll send it in, they'll redo the feed ramp (which seems to be the popular cure for feed problems), and you'll shoot off thousands and thousands of rounds without a problem. The warranty is absolute, 100%. If they made it and it broke, they'll fix it for free.

Perhaps. We shall, hopefully, see.

No offense, but I would try to get your money back. Hi-point is on my "never buy" list.
