As a dirt-poor student, I understand how vicious it can be to save up those extra few dollars. Even so, I suggest you do so. I think $300 is the minimum that should be spent on a self-defense firearm, as it gets you into the realm of highly reliable and reputable - if not luxurious - firearms from well-recognized companies, including the Ruger P95 and Smith and Wesson Sigma.
$400 gets you in the range of actual quality pieces like the Sig 2022, Ruger SR9, and Stoeger Cougar.
You will trust your life to this machine. Save the money.
That being said, if $150 is the ONLY amount that can be used, even with weeks or even months of additional saving, Hi-Point should at least be safely functional, if quite ugly and lower quality.
Recommendations of surplus guns like the CZ-82 and Makarov are also solidly founded.
