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.

Hi-Points are solidly made in the US, come with a lifetime warranty, and are decent firearms. Those that don't like them have never owned one, usually. They aren't the Mercedes of guns, they are the Chevy Caprice...inexpensive, reliable, and serve a purpose.
Remember...one person's Saturday Night Special is another guy's home defense piece.
Since you admit to owning one, so will I. I own a Hi Point 380. I picked it up for my tackle box for $90. If I'm on out fishing on a boat, and capsize, I didn't lose my M&P...
A buddy of mine works for Hi-Point, as a gun smith. He swears by the guns he helps makes, and carries nothing but Hi-Point. If he swears by them, and can out shoot most with them, then they must be decent guns.
Personally, I am not a huge fan of how they feel in my hand, even though I own one. It feels more like a cordless drill than a hand gun. JMHO
