It's an ugly monstrosity... but I kind of liked it.
A new friend of mine has quite a few long guns, but only one handgun... and because he doesn't know any better, that handgun is a Hi-Point .45 ACP. He showed it to me. It's a pure blowback design, with a slide as heavy as a brick. It was approximately the same size and shape as the full-sized Glock .45, and absolutely graceless.
But you know... the thing looked like it would work, and he got it for under $200 brand new. He had shot it, and said he could keep it on target well enough. I have better weapons so I don't particularly crave that one, but that's a lot of utility for under two bills.
