No very and they are heavy and bulky for carry use. Plus they are butt ugly. If I were you Id look into spending just a little more and getting somthing better. Hell a used Makarov or walther clone would be a big step up and near the same money.
I would say it wouldn't be a problem they seem to have to issues firing every time you need it too and if you can't hit anything then use it to hit someone with it bulky thing.
Good point, I don't understand why the .45 and .40 are so large but, the 9mm is basically the same size as almost any other 9mm on the market with the exception of the pocket 9's. Granted it weighs a little more than most but that is part of the design being a blowback to operate properly it has to have a heavy slide. Weight wise it doesn't bother me a bit and it actually feels great int he hand. Would I buy one over a nice 1911? If money were no issue then absolutely not. Would I buy one if that's all my budget could afford? Absolutely!I just dont understand why they are so large. They obviously arent meant for concealed carry, and the niche for people who want a cheap target pistol on the wouldnt seem big. My question is, that if it only holds 8 rounds, why not use a revolver instead, since revolvers are certainly smaller and lighter than these bricks? The whole point of a semi auto is to hold more rounds, and be more concealable--hi point accomplishes neither. I dont see how they stay in business, or why cant they simply make the them smaller? This is probably the last gun I would ever buy, it just doesnt make sense.
I would recommend a used old 38 revolver.
