Gary, not gonna lie, the comp/laser combo does give that gun a bit of a sophisticated air. I like it.
I would say Hi-Point is far better than Jennings, Raven, Bryco, and the like.
To echo Cheapshooter, I will never begrudge a man who buys a Hi-Point to defend his home. Atleast he or she is accepting personal responsibility and doing it within the confines of his or her budget. No price floor on defending one's home or engaging in one's civil rights.
Not to say I won't make boat anchors jokes to said man occassionally, but one must keep the peasents in thier place. I kid. I kid.
