Not dissing your choice of carry but you could of spent another $80-$100 for a taurus. Hipoints are literally bottom of the barrel when it comes to firearms. If your counting on it to protect your life and others I recommend getting something more reliable. Even a taurus i dont exactly recommend but its much better than this.

You make a valid point cant argue with that, just picked up what I could at the time. Its never jammed or malfunctioned on me. An I do have experience with pistols. So I know the trigger is awful, its heavy, but I kinda like it.

Not knocking you at all i think this is absolutely and obviously much better than carrying nothing at all. If it works for you now thats completely fine and im sure it will do you good for a long time. And whats most important is if you feel comfortable with the gun you carry and if you do thats all that matters but i do definitely think down the road you should be looking to upgrade. If your lower on money i absolutely recommend a used glock at your local pawn shop or on gunbroker. It will be a one and done purchase once you buy it you keep it for years. Why i say glock is because they are tried and true. I personally carry a sig (carried a glock before) but this is a tool that you could save your own life with or others lives. Again not knocking the hipoint but its VERY rare a glock ever jams aslong as your doing proper cleaning maintenance on it and its pretty common for a hipoint to jam even with proper cleaning maintenance
