All the hate about Hi-Point pistols

The keep a pistol in my truck/ vehicle thread made me think of my "trash" guns. Don't be a dumbass and stow a firearm in your vehicle. I always chuckle at posts where "my gun was stolen from my truck"

Anyway...Have any of you every shot one?

Back when I was a young buck I bought a used C-9 for $100 and have kept it to this day. I have shot it no less than 500 times no issues. It was submerged in a flood of my apt at the time, I cleaned it days later not really hoping for much. It still went bang and has ever since.

The pistol is blocky as frick, looks like a piece made for a ship, and could be a boat anchor for weight.

I say all this because I was so excited about my new Canik TP9SFX. It was nothing but a fricking nightmare out of the box. FTF, FTE

Is the C-9 something I would trust my life with? Probably. Don't knock it until you try it. Shoot one and your opinion might change
