For that reason, I would never consider a Highpoint pistol or a Harbor freight parachute
Not so much HF as Toyota Corolla. They're sort of like Glocks, only uglier if that's possible. As cheap, working reliable guns they have a dedicated following. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't pass the test of time in generations of use like Smiths, Sigs, (some) Colts and Rugers. I think of them as disposable guns. They serve a purpose.
