[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3817328, member: 48072"] From my understanding (because I will not own a Hi-Point), they use mass to create strength in their slide metallurgy instead of using stronger metal. Couple the reduction in strength with the increased velocity of the slide due to the pistol now being over sprung and I'll bet you start wearing out parts much faster. Not to mention what the other poster said about the slide unlocking before the bullet clears the barrel (however, I will admit that I am purposely ignorant on the cycle of operation on a Hi-Point). I understand that you are going to shoot light handloads because of this as your work-around. However as a 'woods carry gun', why use an anemic handload? Not that I want to discourage you from experimentation. [/QUOTE]
