Hi-points are a dependable, accurate and economical weapon. They are also very heavy and for that reason I wouldn't carry one as a concealed weapon.

Once again, as an instructor I have seen many hi points. None have been able to finish a course of fire.

Also realize that no LE agency will authorize them for on or off duty carry. I wonder why.......

Well my son owns one and a friend owns one. My son has over 1000 rounds through his and has not had a malfunction. My friend has not had one while I was there.

I have shot both and found that they shot where I aimed and had a decent trigger.

I have been at the range while those two kept firing and the 1911s kept jamming.

So in my opinion and only my opinion -- they are dependable.

That said, I carry a glock and I recommended against using a Hi-Point as a carry weapon.

Just a technical correction, but they are authorized by my agency. We have no rules whatsoever on the make of the weapon for personal owned on or off duty carry. Our only requirement is that it fire Speer Gold Dot Hollow Point ammunition, which limits the calibers somewhat.
