There is no comparison to a more expensive gun other than if they are both pointed at a bad guy and the trigger is pulled they will both do the exact same job just as reliably. The win is after the fact when the law comes and blames you for protecting (insert protected here). Then they take away the $130-$180 gun or they take away the $3,000 gun. If and when you ever them back, and depending on condition when you get it back, is it still just bragging rights? Is it still one is 'better' than the other if they are both just reliable? The logic stands. Once a Hipoint is made reliable they are reliable, torture tests notwithstanding. I'll never say there is comparison by price point. Not a reality.
Most Hipoint haters have never given them the time of day to come to their own conclusions however at least not without bias going into the deal. It's a fact, what's known about them is mostly internet folly. It's parroting what so and so said and he reviews guns type of thing.
I view a lot of those gun reviews myself. For example : Hickock45 and Demolition Ranch reviews. Good reviews or bad they go into reviews with at least some bias; they always expect a gun to work right out of the box. No harm in that, they should. But many high quality guns don't work right out of the box either without a 1000 round break-in period. Why is Hipoint never given the same respect? (In all honesty I prefer Hickock45 reviews because he uses more rational thinking).
The idea of disliking a firearm because it has the unwarranted reputation of being the gun of choice of criminals...well, that's likely flawed too. Hipoints have been used in a few bad situations but the overwhelming weapon of choice is the Glock from what I understand, another ugly yet reliable weapon. I'd like to see a reliable study that shows with proof that Hipoints are involved in more crimes.
Basically what I'm saying is that everyone is free to like or dislike whatever they want. But to do so on the hearsay of others and not having first hand knowledge is just being a parrot.
