people are so full of sh1t on the internet... there IS A DIFFERENCE
between people saying they "know a guy whos brothers step moms cousins 2nd sisters uncle" saw one explode and kill the shooter... but i can GUARANTEE YOU... i could pull up EVIDENCE of smith and wessons exploding more than hipoints.. easily 3 to 1.. theres is literally a Handfull of hipoint failures on the internet compared to the hundreds of smiths glocks taurus's and other "mainstream" guns
i would personally take an american made product with hands down the BEST warranty out there.. no matter if your the 1st or 10 owner without papers you can send your guns back to the factory regardless if its having issues or just needs some maintence and they will make it like new
over the past year ive put well over 1000k rounds through my C9 without one failure.. every once inawhile these guns do have problems.. but its ALWAYS related to the magazines used.. tweak the magazine lips if your unlucky and problem solved.. gun snobbery is everywhere.. and i can outshoot my sig p2022 9mm no problem with the hipoint.. and my dads Glock 22c
and for a torture test, i cant believe nobody posted these NO gun should be able to take a beating like this..

multiple parts in this series.. please watch and educate yourselfs before talking trash on a budget gun.. its not Built to be some super compact concealed carry gun.. they are reliable if you choose to use it for self defense.. but they are a GREAT choice for somebody getting into the shooting hobby.. rather than spending 500 on a Gluck.. test the waters with a hipoint
