That's a great idea - buy a Hi-Point instead of a Ruger ...

My Mk IV frame came back this past THU. It was there over the 4th of July weekend so it took 16 days. It returned with zero marks, scratches or dings; I had been wrongly concerned about how Ruger would handle it. I haven't had a chance to fire it since new - so now I'll have an extra mag when I do take it out to shoot it. That said, the trigger pull sucks compared to my Mk II stainless.
