Jeff thinks Hi-Points are okay.

I too have been guilty of that, thinking that the Hi-Point line must be of low quality, due to the low price. I was wrong
The Hi-Point carbine is one-hundred percent made in the USA. It proves that a weapon does not have to be expensive to shoot well, nor does it have to be made in some third-world country to be inexpensive. If you are needing a modern pistol-caliber carbine, give the Hi-Point a look
