Minimum of 500 rds to start the break in...and then at least 100rds of self defense ammo...

But a hi point....ummm no way in hell would I trust my life or the lives of my loved ones to a hunk of pot metal boat anchor....

Ya this is the gun ill probably take the class with. I will hopefully have a xdm or something else to carry. I actually really like the 9mm round its cheap and seems to do enough damage.

Yes it is but your talking about a tool to protect your life with. I would send a few hundred FMJ cheapy rounds down range first with no malfunctions before spending the money on the Hornadays.

Ya that is true, my buddy is gonna polish the feed ramp and a few other things on it. From what ive read and seen the machining isnt great. You can also do a trigger job on it, i probably wont though.
