Sounds like fun. If you do buy a new one and break it, they do have a pretty good warranty. And if it rocks and rolls without any major hiccups, I will amend my position on hi-point to make an exception for their rifles.

When I lived in Detroit, this was a common practice. It was not unusual for signs in windshields stating "No radio, door unlocked" as many times every car on a block would have the windows smashed out( except the ones with the signs)I don't want my windows broken so I leave the doors unlocked.

There was never much crime in the town I grew up in, but my dad always had the policy of leaving the doors unlocked.
Some kids decided to be stupid one night and broken to cars our area stealing CDs. Any kicked cars had broken windows and missing CDs. Unlocked cars just had missing CDs. Always made sense to me after that.
I do lock doors in public areas where a window getting busted would draw attention.

Guys, I didn't say I wouldn't make it difficult to steal.
I cable it to the floor.
If and when I run into a 30.06 posting that I can't avoid (court room for jury duty, most ER's, hospitals and now my doctor's office) I keep a lock box and cable to lock up my pistol in before I go in.
Doing all that doesn't mean it can't be stolen, sheesh..

There was a saying we used back when we were kids that said Ya look like ya' don been beat with an ugly stick, Well, Glad I read this thread in it's entirety and should I decide to buy one, I'll make sure I refer to it as being beat with a Ugly Stick. In truth, it will fill in the gap between a my 9mm HG and my M1 30 Cal which I can't fire at most pistol ranges.

Because the Hi Point is a simple blowback cycling system it requires that very heavy slide. The heavy slide is also very susceptible to limp wristing and requires a firm grip. Novice shooters are timid and tend to limp wrist. Its not the gun (as usual) it's the operator.
Take apart a Hi Point carbine apart and you will find an action remarkably similar to their pistols. The carbines have the reputation of going bang every time. In the hands of the average shooter their pistols have the same rep.
The beloved 1911 will not perform for the timid either. It is however forgiven cause it's purdy All Hi Points are ugly.
NSA DISCLAIMER: And yes I own one, I mean owned one, but of course now I have no guns at all. If you see me at the range I borrowed or rented the guns.

Maybe you can answer the question in this thread...

Oh really? How many classes have you taught or been in that a HP pistol has gone the distance? I shared my experiences with them from an instructor's view. I have never shot a HP that functioned properly( granted, the only ones I have shot have been the ones that have failed to complete a 50 round course of fire in one of my classes, some of which were new in the box)
My boo-boo. READ Carbine, didn't Register carbine.
lol. Ok, I'll play. How many shooting classes have you taught and how many HP pistols did you have over the course of these classes and how many of them went through the qualifying course of fire without malfunctioning ?
