I own scores of pistols: I do not own either a Glock or a Hi Point. I generally carry a revolver or a Kahr. But if I had to buy one I'd get a Glock. Unless I planned on using it for a boat anchor, in which case the Hi Point wins hands down.

I bought a plastic Kahn years ago. Big mistake that thing is super snappy.Originally Posted by rintinglen
Ohh and as for the original question glock all the way.
The good thing about Hi-Point is that almost anyone can afford one and get reliable basic protection. There are scores of people who are poor as dirt and really can't afford anything else, especially if they are disabled and/or have to raise grandchildren. Alot of these folks live in really bad areas and also may have people who want to hurt them such as ex-spouses. Especially here in Kentucky, I see them every day. Hi-Point isn't my first, second, or third choice, but I'm glad they are available.

Got to go with Glock
If you can get by the 10 pound trigger pull the Hi-Point is not bad.
Glock without hesitation. HI Points are just too cheap for me to trust with my life as a Carry gun. And that is the only reason I would want either as they are both as ugly as a dirt clod. I look at a Glock like a tool. I don't get the least bit excited when I buy one. It's not a gun, it's more like getting a hammer. The ugly, chunky things work though and they work every time from my experience with my Models 23 and 27.
But a whole train load of Glocks won't compare to even one old used Italian made copy of a Colt Single action as far as getting me excited about owning and shooting it.
Hi Point.
