a hi point is like if a glock and a 1911 had a retarded trailer trash baby sister in west virginia who married a baltimore nigger. it's wide, it's awkward, it's used almost exclusively for drug crime, but it is reliable when it needs to be.  i have a hi point c9 that i bought just to show a friend from nyc that i could buy a gun in texas same day.  it's clunky to shoot, you can feel the kick, the trigger is weird, it feels like a 1911 trigger on a glock with a trigger pull that is simultaneously too heavy and light. accuracy is questionable, but considering 95% of self defense situations take place at 3 yards or less, who cares. it doesn't really jam but when it does it's easy to clear. it has a floating pin, which means the dumbest of asses will nd the thing while carrying it illegally.  overall, 4/10. if you need a gun on a budget, it's better than a lorcin or phoenix arms, but not by much.
