I welcome you to bring your hi point out to a USPSA match with me and actually run it, hard. I have no doubt that they perform just fine while standing 10ft in front of a piece of paper and plinking away at it. But, actually run the gun like a gun should be, and I bet it shits the bed. Not a single person that's serious about USPSA runs a hi point, and there's a reason for that...
I am open-minded, so please, feel free to change it.
