when they say accurate they mean
if you can hit in the center ring with any other gun
you will hit the center with this one
Ok Dave, that's the answer I was after.
BTW, "they" (as you used it) doesn't really answer my question.
However, if you change "they" to "I", as in your conclusion is that the Hi Point is able to match the users skill set, then I believe you.

The term" accurate" is used so often here w/out any sort of frame of reference it has little meaning at times.

As I said above w/regards to how I would define "excellent accuracy", that definition is based on using S&W model 10.
A model 10 is quite capable of that level of accuracy.
I'd put a well used but not abused S&W model 10 in the same low cost catagory as a new Hi Point.
Given the coice, hands down, and day of the week (IMHO) the S&W blows away the Hi Point in all respects.

However - finding just the right one @ just the right price takes some doing.

The advantage there goes to Hi Point - which can be had over the counter any time.

As to whether or not I'd ever own one - probably not.
Being retired, I have little in the way of disposable income for one and the Hi Point is a striker fired for number 2.
I really don't care for striker fired. If I were to transition to that, then my choice would be the "other ugly plastic gun" (Glock).
