Well I'll be dipped in sheep dip, actually agree with ya once for a change

Without a doubt the Dillon presses are superb & have exceptional customer service! Many many years ago I used a star press StarReloaders.com - Dedicated to Star Machine Works Reloaders and it was rather good as well, but sadly they are no longer made.

Actually I have shot a couple hi points along with sigma's and taurus handguns & they all fit the same cheap gun category. In no way do they compare to a Sig, Beretta, Colt, Kimber or even to a Glock or a XD.

If you say so, but a quality handgun should never have jammed with such few rounds through it. I've seen and helped shoot 800 rounds of wolf ammo through a .45 hi point without cleaning and it did not jam once.

Hi-Points are heavy, ugly brick-like rattle traps, but they do go BANG and a piece of lead comes out the barrel every time you pull the trigger. I wouldn't want one for a carry piece, but for cheap insurance to keep in the night stand, they work well. And if ya run out of bullets.... can you imagine getting pistol-whipped by one???

I like my guns, and consider them as an investment{you have to say that to the wife} I also collect them, Now I have some guns for shooting, and some for looking & holding.
