Hmm.
My Hi-Point is probably sitting at just shy of 5,000 rounds
that I know of... You see, I bought it used years ago... It even spent forever in my car's leaky trunk
It did FTF once on me, however. I'm not quite sure what's up with that...
I also managed to break it once. When the manual says to make sure a part is oriented in a particular direction, or, it will cut the sleeve-dealy, they apparently mean it. However, they had a replacement part out to me in
2 days 100% free. Again, I'm not the original owner...
For CCW? Personally, I'd say nah. I tried it, and didn't like it. Too big / heavy especially considering the capacity. I carry IWB, and, for my tastes, it didn't work. With the right holster, maybe....
OC? Hmm.... I only OC on our property so far, so I'm not a great source of info for that
I could see it working for that, but, as I'd likely dress a little nicer for OC, I'd probably want to carry a better-looking firearm
That's just my opinion, however. I'm still waiting for a nice 1911 I think
Now that I *DO* have firearms, with more features / looks / capacity, and less weight / size , I wouldn't carry it, anymore.
Another ding, to MINE... I could never get the darn thing to feed JHP well. PERSONALLY, I don't like carrying FMJ, so, for ME, that rules it out, for carry.
Heh, I must be into teh crap guns, Illuminaughty! The flavor of the month for me, right now is a Firestar M43
Oh, RE: Tolerences and accuracy. Yeah, it's not the most accurate firearm on the planet, nor, would I reasonably expect it to be. However, it seems to go BANG every time I've requested it do so... Except that once...
Wow, what a rant!
HTH!
