My personal experience with Hi-Point is that they are a cheap ugly gun that goes bang every time you pull the trigger. Their ergonomics are abysmal and they don't carry hi capacity magazines but they are cheap. Besides being cheap they have two other factors in their favor they have a lifetime warranty (Glock only comes with a one year warranty but will do free repairs for years) and they are cheap.
I own a 995 carbine and have put hundreds (maybe thousands by now) of rounds through it and it has never failed - even when it’s embarrassingly dirty. I bought it for $135 new over 10 (15?) years ago. If I had paid $500 for it I’m sure I would take better care of it. A friend of mine bought a 995 carbine and a handgun (takes the same magazine) and he's put some serious rounds through it - a few springs have been replaced (by Hi Point) due to wear.
I would never say a Hi Point is as good as a Glock, but the “Hi Point is junk” crowd always seems a little too defensive.
