I just put a new rear sight on one that I got for LOW $$ on GunBroker, and let me tell you - this thing is a shootin' fool ! Hi Points aint pretty, I know. Some people judge quality based on price - and to some extent - have a point, but let me tell you - ANYTIME I can consistenly punch holes into the bottom of a beer can at 25 yards, using a pack of shop rags as a rest on top of a sawhorse, I'd say that the price of the weapon had little to to with how well it shoots. And I have NEVER had a misfeed... Glad to have a company like that around - that provides a reasonable-quality firearm at an affordable price, so those who may not have huge $$ at their disposal can purchase protection and/or recreational fun at a palatable price.
And NO - I do not work for them.
