Hi-points are a dependable, accurate and economical weapon. They are also very heavy and for that reason I wouldn't carry one as a concealed weapon.
Once again, as an instructor I have seen many hi points. None have been able to finish a course of fire.

Also realize that no LE agency will authorize them for on or off duty carry. I wonder why.......
Well my son owns one and a friend owns one. My son has over 1000 rounds through his and has not had a malfunction. My friend has not had one while I was there.

I have shot both and found that they shot where I aimed and had a decent trigger.

I have been at the range while those two kept firing and the 1911s kept jamming.

So in my opinion and only my opinion -- they are dependable.

That said, I carry a glock and I recommended against using a Hi-Point as a carry weapon.
Hi point is a brand, 1911 is a style of gun.

Avoid them At ALL COST... choose a different direction. If price-point is an issue, there are MANY Better choices.

I am NOT a Gun Snob but I am a Gun Dealer.

Hi Points are NOT Carry Friendly nor are they a good buy.

PM me if I can help.
