Look, you're going to inundated with very young, or very inexperienced shooters raving about the "Hi-Point" line up. Truth is that they are neck and neck with the Ruger P-95, as most likely to turn up at the crime scene!

IMO, they are simply modern zip guns, with few redeeming virtues, other then the fact that yes, they will fire! They are constructed of castings(much like Ruger's)and they are very likely grossly overpriced at even $130.00 or so!

My advice to you is simple, you can buy NIB Glock's, M&P's, CZ's, and even some Sig's right at, or just under the $500.00 mark! Why waste $200.00 on a true piece of junk, when for just a few hundred more you can land yourself a very fine sidearm that will quitely likely outlast you....My two cents...
