A lot of people wave off these kind of pistols, and I would definitely tell you to NOT buy one if you can afford something like a Glock. On the other hand, for $150, a Hi-Point is perfectly fine as a home defense gun. It takes PP+ ammo and goes bang when you pull the trigger (and the bullet goes the correct direction ).

My Stallard (which is basically hipoint) would work perfectly for one 8 round mag and then jam city. I would then spend 15 minutes cleaning the crud out of tbe pistol and true to form. First mag no problems. Second mag fail to feed after ftf. Tried changing mags, rounds, polishing feed ramp, checking slide face, mag feed lips everything. At least it was heavy enough to throw when it jammed.

I had a Stallard 9mm. Notice I said "had"
