Lol I've watched people do some really crazy things to Hi point firearms and they still fire. I wonder how CZ, Colt, Springfield, etc etc, would hold up to some of these crazy tests.[video=youtube_share;F1Bkq6OEvpc]http://youtu.be/F1Bkq6OEvpc[/video]
Because gun *are* status symbols to more than a few.The disdain for Hi-Points is a mystery to me.
Granted, they are not status objects. But, they are reliable, affordable and simple to use.
"Save up your money and get a REAL gun." Give me a break.
Guns are tools. Ostensibly, we all believe this. I had a pair of no-name needle nose pliers at the workshop on Saturday. Several people used them. Not one person stopped to assess the 'fit and finish'. The only thing they concerned themselves with was if the pliers would get the job done. They did.
So why is it that a bunch of grown men get their panties in a collective wad whenever a Hi-Point makes an appearance?

OTOH, I've broken a whole lot of chinesium tools compared to one or three "western" tools. To each their own, I reckon.
