Sparktrician: I'm guessing the Glock was either the Model 32 (compact) or Model 33 (subcompact) in .357 SIG. If so, the .357 SIG is a decent self-defense choice but doesn't really gain anything over such other well-proven rounds as the 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP, and loses out in the crucial area of ammo availability--all 3 of the other rounds will be available as long as handgun ammo is available, but the same thing may not be true of the .357 SIG. The Glock pistol itself is made in Austria and is one of the most reliable pistols money can buy, which is one reason they're one of the top choices of law enforcement. While Hi-point pistols (and I've shot several, and own one of their 9mm carbines) are inexpensive, have a lifetime warranty, and have good customer service (when a buddy's .40 S&W Hi-point pistol broke a spring they sent him an entire spring replacement kit free with free shipping and it was there in 2 days), they are, in my opinion, not reliable enough to trust your life to. I've seen too many failures to feed, failures to fire, failures to eject, magazines that won't stay in place, parts broken, safeties that won't stay engaged, etc. on the ones I've used to enable me to trust one for a primary self-defense firearm. Is your life and the life of your loved ones worth $567? If so, buy the Glock and be done with it, though I'd suggest doing a bit of comparison shopping--a Glock 33 runs $474 on Bud's Gun Shop--and think about going to a .40 S&W instead--nearly identical power and MUCH easier to find ammo for. A Glock in .40 S&W is pretty much the standard police carry gun nowadays, and that might tell you something.
