A High Point, while ugly, heavy, inexpensive, etc, isn't crap. They are reliable pistols and while they are fairly priced, they are ugly and heavy. Certainly not crap, but not something as nice as you could get from many other pistols on the market. Although they aren't the price of many others either.

Jimenez on the other hand is pure crap. I'd never even consider buying one, and I'd certainly never carry one in pocket.

They apparently are made using the molds Bryco Jennings used. Read up on them. They made horrible quality pistols, and were just an all around crappy company. The only experience I've had with a Bryco Jennings, was a buddy had one in 9mm. He wanted me to shoot it with it. I'd read online how they are borderline unsafe so I refused and stood way back while he shot it. He shot a magazine or two through it just fine. The next time I talked to him, he told me he'd gone to shoot it once more and the frame had broken on it. They sold it to a relative who also had one and the slide on his had broken. They pieced it together to make one. Seeing how big of a piece of crap that thing was made me positive that all the reports of them being crappy I've read online are more than likely the truth. I'd never buy one of these pieces of crap, and I'd certainly never buy anything from a company that operates like Bryco Jennings did.

There is difference between inexpensive and cheap. I love inexpensive stuff as it's stuff that's cheap in price, but decent in quality. While I don't own a High Point they seem to be examples of this. There are several other companies like Marlin, Savage, Ruger, that produce some fairly inexpensive products, but that are great in quality.

Then there is cheap, which is cheap in price and quality and that's what this pistol is.
