High point is the most durable gun Especially for price. Enough said.
I am actually one of the few here willing to admit that Hi-Points aren't terrible. I used to own one of the carbines and it ran great. I only sold it because it was the only gun I had in .40 and I almost doubled my money when I sold it.
I have never owned the pistols, but knew people that did. I have shot them, and seen people shoot them enough to say I would trust one to be reliable. I would carry one or uss it as an HD gun if it was all I could afford or if it was my only option.
That said ... there are so many better options out there for not much more money. Hell, a Taurus G2C is only about $50-60 more and has double or triple the quality and features, with a higher capacity.
Hi-Points are good coffee can guns, meaning they are well suited to be buried somewhere and dug up in case of emergency. It also might be worth having one or two around to hand off to a friend if SHTF.
But for an EDC, there are better options.
I can afford more then that trust me but yo can throw that gun in water and sand etc. and it’ll still fire.

I can say I technically own one. I inherited one from my dad. (not sure why dad bought one) Its still at mom's house, and I havent fired it, but its mine. I guess.
OP is correct, while quite fugly, Ive seen several torture tests that rival the performance of a Glock.
Still doesnt mean they are not as ugly as sin. No getting over the aesthetics of them.
Oh, and for every one of you that owns the pretty cool carbines? Know those things share the exact same trigger group of those shameful looking pistols. So before you laugh too much at those of us that own the pistols, know you are close cousins to us.
I'll make sure I bring it to the next INGO open shoot just for giggles.
I don't particularly care what you choose to buy, shoot, or carry, it's none of my business, we all know that saying about opinions though.High point is the most durable gun Especially for price. Enough said.
