Hi Point 380acp,
February 27, 2013
Just purchased this 380 after reviewing on You Tube, and a variety of written reviews, and comments. Other than tweaking the magazine and using liquid wrench silcone spray lightly inside and out ( wiping off excess ), no polishing of feed ramp, adjusting sights as needed for "my eyes" accuracy, I must say I am impressed. Shoots better than my Browning 380 ever did, even after sending it back to Browning for sighting, and minor repairs. I actually like the feel of the 29 oz weight, and the "lack of hard repeat".
Got Blackhawk #8 hip carry holster (at Walmart) for $12.97... comfortable and not unreasonably visible, as some may state. Great lifetime warranty. had some technical questions (minor), and their techs were great!

Weight Is only draw back,
February 23, 2013
This gun is well worth the money. It is accurate, has never jammed and has almost no recoil. It is heavy in your hand or to carry. A lot of people think the cost means bad quality, it does not. It is just heavy

great pistol, small and easy to shoot, some people don't like hi points, but thier great, if you shoot a bunch of reloads it may mis fire, that why i always shoot the good stuff ,no mis fires if you got good ammo.

Big Bang for Little Bucks,
October 26, 2012
I gotta say to those with feed problems on their Hi Points whatever the caliber, I only had 1 feed problem and it was with the Winchester flat tipped stuff. I polished the feedramp as I do with all my firearms, and I own ALOT! No problems with FTF`s or FTE`s. I paid $139.00 and it was worth 3 times that much at minimum. Hardly any recoil, deadly accurate, and you can`t break one if you tried! In this case anyway, $$$ does not mean quality! It`s a tad bit heavy, and not an easy concealed carry pistol, but does it`s job as well as ANY high dollar firearm. Hi point...I salute you and your means to arm those of us with not much income. Thanks, a job well done.

Excellent gun,
October 16, 2012
Please don't listen to silly people that claim to "have owned a Hi-Point". For $159 or ~$100(used) you can have a gun with almost NO recoil, pinpoint accuracy and NO MAINTENANCE. Bought a USED Hi-Point .380 from a FIRING RANGE, no telling how much the previous owner put through it or the range...
This gun fires SPOT on EVERY time. By far better than the Ruger LC9 or any other "cheap" compact. PLUS on top of that you get a LIFETIME warranty NO EXCUSES!!!!! I mean seriously...how could you go wrong.
If the guy above owned one he coulda just sent it in to be fixed, but for some strange reason he decided to take $159 and melt it...a lil shady to me.
Most people hate on these because they think quality = $$$ and 99% of the time I agree (harbor freight is crap compared to snap on) but in the case of this weapon, that rule does not apply!
Highly Recommend!

My review on the Hi-Point Model CF-380.Bigger is,
June 24, 2012
I have the Model CF-380 & of coarse paid 202 for mine but i got the limited series production with the flash suppressor with an 8 and 10 rnd.clip the trigger lock,and a roll on rubber grip to cover the slick handle,but for me with big hands the ten rnd. is great.However the only problem i've had is pulling to get the 1st rnd. in properly. I still feel that i got the better deal at 202 than the 139 that their asking for this. I got the extras with mine all in one set.Does anyone know how many were made in the 380 model?

Forget Hi-Point,
October 13, 2011
I used to own a High-Point 9mm and had so many misfires, I decided to have it melted it at the Sheriff Dept where I worked as deputy. I wouldn't recommend it for personal protection, even if you throw it at the perp. I trust Taurus, Bersa, Ruger which are also inexpensive but reliable.

Better than you think,
July 14, 2011
I know people look down their nose at these hi points, and they are your basic of the basics...but, they are rugged. Look up the you tube videos where two guys do all they can to break one, drag it down the road tied to a truck, beat oversized bolts in the barrel and fire it, bury it, throw it in the lake, loaded and shot it with overloaded ammo, etc. You wont believe it. It took them two days before they could finaly damage it. They started it to show how cheap it was and ended up as believers.

Hi-Point .380 Auto,
December 27, 2010
Honestly, this gun is great for the money! Despite the barrel only being 3.5" long, this gun is really accurate; from 50', free standing, I can shoot 6/6 in a 2.5" radius cirle. The only con I have with this gun is that it is extremely heavy! (and maybe its odd asthetic appearance)However, there may be a silver lining, as its weight definitely helps to tame the already tame 380 auto recoil. Hi-points are made here in Ohio, not far from where I live, and with their lifetime guarantee, they will repair or replace anything that breaks on your Hi-Point.

Great Gun Great Company,
November 30, 2010
You can not beat this gun for its price and the company is awesome. I had an issue with the gun stove piping and they immediately shipped me new parts to correct the problem.The gun shoots fine and comfortable for carrying everyday.

Outstanding value for the money,
November 23, 2010
I have owned this pistol for over a year. It is a very reliable utilitarian fire arm. The price and warranty are what initially sold me on it. The only drawback that I have found is it's size. For a person with small hands, it is a little bulky.
