You are correct that I do not own a hi point.
However my brother does.
It's junk.
Price alone usually is a great indicator on what you're buying.
I'd carry it as backup if i was hunting, maybe as a finisher.
I would not trust my life with it as my choice for CCW.
But like ANY firearm, I'd rather have one that not have anything.
Thanks,
Zombie Mambo
