My buddy has one, it was the first firearm he ever purchased. It has been horribly abused, the stock is cracked, I'm pretty sure it's never been cleaned more than superficially spraying some oil at it, and it has the cheapest red dot sight available on it.

Works fine. It's accurate enough for a 9mm carbine. Doesn't jam except on one magazine he has that it doesn't like. It's marked, so it's a known issue. Frankly, I remain pretty amazed by it. Hi-point gets a lot of hate, and I understand why. They also get a lot of love, and I get that too, largely because of my friend's gun.
