After reading numerous reviews on the Bud's Gun Shop web site regarding this 45 ACP I thought I would give it a try. Why not? The price is certainly right.

First, this beast is HEAVY! I can't imagine spending hours shooting this pistol unless I was into some serious weight training regiment. One positive is that the weight seems to work to the shooters advantage with regard to recoil. This is my first 45 pistol and I was thinking the recoil would be significant. It wasn't, in fact the recoil from this pistol is comparable, perhaps even a little less than my .40 cal.

On the positive side, all Hi-Point firearms come with a lifetime warranty. I don't expect to have to utilize the warranty but if Hi-Point is willing to back their products with a lifetime warranty they must have confidence that purchasers won't be sending them back. Another positive is the interchangeability of magazines with the Hi-Point carbines. I have the 45 ACP carbine from Hi-Point and it's nice that I don't have to shell out additional dollars to purchase different magazines for each. I simply load my magazines, take both firearms to the range and send lead downrange.

I understand cleaning Hi-Point pistols is more time consuming than other manufacturers and if I find it unreasonably difficult I'll update this review.

I've only shot around 50 rounds so far but I'm pleased with my purchase. I may purchase a higher priced 45 ACP later but for the cost this pistol can't be beat. If you want a 45 ACP at an affordable price then this is the pistol for you.
