I've shot a Hi-Point 9mm pistol before, and to be frank, it was a POS. Pointed like a brick, trigger sucked, sights were off, jammed left and right on Tula ammo.
Today, I went out plinking with a friend and he brought a Hi Point .40 he had. It went through a couple boxes of brass ammo flawlessly and the accuracy was just dead nuts on. We were burning up ammo shooting offhand at 2 liter bottles about 75 yards away that we set up for rifles. The Hi-Point was grouping right in there, and it would get one every once in a while. The trigger was heavy but short, and if you took your time and managed it, bottles at 25 yards were a gimme. I had heard that the Hi Points were fairly accurate because of the fixed barrels, but I was shocked to see how well they shot in the real world.
I don't know if there's that much variance between products, but this changed my whole view of Hi Points and it may have just converted a hater. I was shooting it better than pistols that cost 2-3x as much.
