Now I buy some stuff at Harbor freight because I don't make a living with my tools, so it would not matter too much if one breaks while I use it. However, I can't even imagine the consequences of a gun failing when you need to use it.
For that reason, I would never consider a Highpoint pistol or a Harbor freight parachute  |
Yeah I know. That's what everyone thinks. However that's crap. They are simple, tough, accurate and reliable. It's entirely possible they can have problems but that's no different than any other piece of machinery.
I paid 80 bucks for one, 220 for the other. I have no complaints about either of them.
I have a Ruger 22/45 MKIII that utterly refuses to chamber hollow point ammo. Ruger screwed up in the manufacturing of the magazines. I have four and all of them have the same problem. I just use only round nose in it. I would say so far my two Hi-Points have been far more reliable than the Ruger.
