I also agree with the "get what you pay for" idea. My father-in-law had a HiPoint and it was the worst POS he said he'd ever used. It was bad. The first range session it locked up tight. The sights fell off too.
If you really want/need a handgun why skimp. There's plenty of quality affordable makes/models out there. Did you skimp on your bow set-up? No? then don't do the same with a handgun. Spend a little bit more and but a CZ, a Ruger or maybe even look at used.
