Always thought HiPoint and Glock were the same gun.

If the planet of the apes had a second amendment it would be a Hi-Point.

I had to look up the specs. They are a blowback design. I'd refuse to buy one for that reason alone. And to disassemble them you have to have a punch and a hammer.
They look like they were designed by a Somalian high on khat who doesn't understand the meaning of ergonomics. |

I haven't shot one, myself. Those I do know who own them, have nothing bad to say about them, aside from them having the ergonomics of a brick.

Probably the finest handgun ever made except its bulky, top heavy and fugly. It's certainly not for concealed carry (or even open carry because people will snicker at you if they see it) but for someone on a budget who wants a reliable home protection pistol its a very good choice.

out of the box i had a 45 model that i ran 300 of the shittiest/hottest reloads of mine through without one single failure.
they serve their purpose, they're a budget handgun for working people . Not everyone can blow $500-800 on a pistol .

My PPK/S is a blowback, extremely accurate and it even has a hammer!

Glock is the best firearm ever made.

There you have it, boys; Glock is endorsed by dicks4me.
All the reason you need to not buy one
