Thanks for the feedback, and the jeers. Some I will admit were well earned. For others, apparently I have some splainin to do. Forgot how pretentious the "outdoor" board can be. 
If you had read my other thread, you would realize what I needed the "safe" for. I was simply posting my experience with it because I know some did read, and comment, on that thread.
Basically, I bought it to calm my wife's nerves. She is terrified at the idea of our infant son somehow getting ahold of a gun, that just so happens to be on a 7 ft high shelf, and shooting himself in the head.
Regardless of the fact we are at least 4 years away from him even being able to reach halfway up, to the height of the shelf, with his arms over his head. So I bought that "safe" in the sale to ease her fears. Except, it is pointless, and the Ammo Can makes more sense.
At the very least. It allows me to keep all of my ammunition organized, and in one place.
As to the Hi-Pernts. That 9mm is obviously a piece of shite. But I've loved plinking with the .380 I traded. When I pulled the trigger, it went bang. Also, because of its design, it is surprisingly accurate as well. I have started calling them the "Kia of Guns".
Bored in the middle of a long, long night.
Oh, I married up, but unlike his wife, he is a cheap arse. His philosophy is backwards from the Outdoor Board's. For example, he is shopping around for a home defense gun right now, he wants something "reliable", and that holds at least 14 rounds. He is looking at the Taurus 24/7 G2 .40, S&W SDVE9, etc...when he could afford to buy 20 of these without even blinking.
His exact quote was "If it fires when you pull the trigger, and holds what you need, why spend more for something nicer?"
That statement was comical to me, because this board always says, "Why buy a cheap gun, when you can wait, save a little longer, and buy something nicer for only a few hundred more."
Colloquially known as, a "safe".
When you say, "packs a nice punch", what would you compare the power to? I've fired .45, .40. .38S +P, 9mm, .380, .32.. So basically, my experience level is in line with most people who have a higher than average interest in guns. But not quite as much experience as the average "gun enthusiast" around here.
Why yes and no, man attempting to be an a-hole. To be specific, I was wondering if the firing pin and blowback spring were covered. Not the jamming issue itself.
Hi-Points have a lifetime warranty. SO, expounding on the previous thought just a bit. I was hoping someone with more knowledge than me could tell me if firing pins and blowback springs are items normally covered under factory warranties.
Actually, I just went to their website, and it says this.
Sounds like it is time to ship the gun back to them, and let them fix it free of charge.
Hope you enjoyed starting your day off as an a-hole.
Old family name. Until my grandfather was born in the 30s. Every oldest boy since sometime in the 1700s had the name Artillery as either their first, or middle, name.
and I only put that on the gun to blur out the serial #.

Other times I see people shoving Hi-Pernts into ammo cans to use as a safe.

If the other hi pernt is a family heirloom you should have done a better job of marrying up.

7.62x25 is a hot round and packs a nice punch

I'm not sure how to read this. Are you asking if a 17 year old Hi-point jamming is covered under warranty?

Damage, age, and plain old wear and tear - these things happen. When they do, Hi-Point customers enjoy a lifetime, no questions asked warranty. And lifetime means just that - free repairs for the life of the gun, whether you are the first owner, or the third.
Hi-Point service is fast, friendly and expertly performed. Your firearm will be back in action and good as new, in no time.

Hope you enjoyed starting your day off as an a-hole.

Your son's middle name is going to be "Artillery"?
