My brother has a HiPoint in 9mm, loves it. Has decent accuracy. The Tampa (Florida) Police Dept. Actually ok'd them for personal purchase for agency carry 4 or 5 years ago and a LOT of officers picked them up. Personally I dislike the HiPoint brand of firearms as they tend to end up in the wrong hands (85% of gun traces at the shop I used to work at were for the HiPoints. Needless to say florida ammo traders no longer carries this firearm nor will order it. If they have one in stock its because of a trade.) The pistols are sometimes an "iffy" affair, but the carbines are surprisingly reliable.
