re: Anyone here familiar with Hi-Point Firearms?

I won their new .40 in a raffle for a charity. Only put my ticket in that box because it was same caliber as my pistol and there wasn't a lot of tickets in the box (better shot of winning I thought). I brought it to the range and shot 150 rounds out of the box and did not have one issue. Since then I had a mag spring fail but I sent it back to them and they sent a replacement for free. From what I understand the design was changed drastically in '10 because of previous issues. Fun little carbine to shoot and at 30 -50 yards I can keep a pretty tight group. Basically you pull the trigger it goes boom...what more do you want from a cheap firearm?
