Well, my primary carry IS a hipoint 9mm. It is a bit heavy as compared to a block (aka the barbie gun - my name for them because they are all plastic). I carry it IWB 24/7 and love the weapon. Some think that they are as ugly as can be, but I rather like the design of it. To each their own.
The thing is, if you put your booger hooker on the bang switch and it goes boom, shoots the lead down range where you aim it....who cares.
I know that the cadillac gun owners dont like associating with us bottom feeder gun owners, but I actually own the hi-point and think it is an awesome gun and does what it was designed to do....protect me and my family.
Here are some reviews:

I'm sorry, but your post sounds a little self serving. I mean no malice in my comment, but the very pistol you call a barbie gun because it's plastic, well, the same can be said of the Hipoint as it, too, is just as 'plastic'. I don't think the "Cadillac Gun Owners" comment is necessarily true or even warranted. If your hipoint works, then that is awesome! That's the ultimate goal in gun ownership and self defense. Don't apologize for what you have...if it works, it works.
