Know anything about them. I've had one before and it worked fine. Only used it once tho on july 4th but yo I hear a lot of criticism about it. Why? Are there any legit users here who had a problem with them or is it all just hear, say????

There mass produced and 'cheaply' made. As far as them firing I have never heard any issues....The biggest complaint I find is that its like a led weight if your trying to carry it on your person...Thinking about buying one myself....We'll see

Just got a. 380 acp. Going to the range next week and give it a test drive. Kept hearing the myth of it jamming. But I also asked a couple would they stand in front of a loaded one. They couldn't say much then.

because of everything you've already heard about them lol. theyre cheaply made. known to jam. all semi auto shits are prone to jam, but hi points are notorious for it. your argument for "they wont stand in front of it" is irrellevant. i wouldnt stand in front of a dueling pistol and they only fire like once every 4 times lol.

its fine for what it is tho, its better than nothing. but they sell them so cheap, because they are cheaply made.

The reason is because they're easy to produce in mass, it has nothing to do with the quality. Fact is they're no worse than any other firearm.

In fact, there are more cases these days of things being expensive as fuck and being of shitty quality than otherwise. Look up the conspiracy of "planned obsolescence." There is a reason they don't make things like they used to.

The ergonomics are bad...hey are clumsy heagy weapon. My undedstanding of them are that they are made to be blowback operated...this means no hammer. Thus you have to use hi powder rounds or it has feed problems. Like firkng blanks in an M16.
