Yes, I mean they tend to go bang when you pull the trigger.

Good quality?


They are an entry level pistol, if this is your first gun it is a start and better than nothing. If someone was breaking into my home it might not be the fist choice if I have multiple choices due to reliability. If I needed a gun to hunt down a daughter's boyfriend, it would be a first choice gun...

there is a thread on Hi Pernt in the last day or 2.. Skip the Hi Pernt carbine thread, find the pistol one... Look back a few pages, lots of opinions...

But, if your wife gave you ANY gun, that's a right direction step...

I'm pretty sure I remember them coming with a lifetime warranty as well. They aren't top of the line but def not a POS

My dad got a $99 revolver as one of his gifts. That's still better than 75% of gifts out there.

HoLeInOnEr05,
Sorry, but I have NO personal experience w/ Hi-Points so I can't really add anything useful to that discussion. Like nearly all shooters everywhere, I've always scoffed at the low price and the ugly looks and never seriously considered that Hi-Point guns might have ANY good traits. OTOH, I've since read more about them on the 'net and realize I might be wrong. (See the earlier link.)

At any rate, whether the gun your wife bought is good quality or not, she bought you a gun; she bought you something she thought you'd want and enjoy; and she went through some effort to do so (went to a store, completed the paperwork, paid for it, etc). I'm saying all of this to point out something I'm sure you already understand.....you sir, are a very lucky man! Take good care of your lovely bride! Merry Christmas to all.
