I took a lot of heat for some things I said about Hi-Point pistols back in Episode 25, and some criticisms were right on. Now while my opinion of Hi-Points stands, I did reconsider some things, sorted out why I feel the way I do, etc. But really, the most important things are… First, realize that my opinions are NOT a review and that my opinion isn’t worth any more than somebody else’s. We all know what opinions are like, and everybody’s got one, right along with two knees, etc. Second, if a Hi-Point is your pistol of choice, that’s ok. They work just fine, which is the most important feature of a defense firearm, and by all accounts they are accurate enough for self defense purposes.
Remember, I love to talk about the difference between theoretical and practical accuracy, and the latter is far more important.
Aside from that, I talk about the Mateba Auto-Revolver, some gunsmithing I had done on my carry pistol, cleaning vs. maintenance, and then I wax philosophic on what a pistol starts life as and becomes in our hands.
