I had one when I was in the Army in the '80s. It shot well and was very reliable. I tired of it after a while, and traded it for something else.

I always recommend P-1s (among other things) to people thinking about Hi Points.

I wouldn't mind getting a reinforced P-1 if I had the money. I'm not a fan of true double-action autos, but the P-38/P-1 are interesting enough to overcome that.
