    That piece of rebar would be more reliable in a fight than any of those pistols.

    I cant help it, when I hear HiPoint, I will always think of the same class of cheap shit as Jennings, Lorcin, Bryco, Taurus, Davis, Raven, Titan, etc...

    Many of us older guys who were shooting in the 1980's probably feel the same way.

    Agree with most of those except the Taurus.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    I havent handled or looked at a taurus since the early 1990's. my mind was made up enough. i saw all i needed to see. i just remember big heavy boxy designs made of cheap pot metal, jammed more than they fired.

    I'm basing that solely off of the PT92, which I think was made on Beretta tooling in Brazil. Mine has been excellent actually, although I'm a 1911 guy that also loves Sigs ( only have the one Taurus and it is a straight early PT92, no decocker).

    Let me see if I can find a link.
