Yeah the old milsurps are much better quality but if something breaks lotsa luck finding a part. Had one of side extensions break off of the trigger assembly insert on a Polish Tokarev....played hell finding another one but I did. Same with a Ballester Rigaud that the trigger bar broke on that was fun to find, some guy outta Miami had some parts. Mags can be an adventure to. Had a really nice Star M31 I got rid of cause mags were non-existent.
The only milsurp type pistol I'd recommend to a non-gunnut is possibly a Makarov. Mags are readily available and parts can be found.....but the prices have gone way up....most of the decent shape ones I see now are in the $300-350 range.
With a Hi-Point just send it in and they fix it, from what I've heard. At worst I'm sure you can contact the company for parts, I know I've done that with Kel-Tecs. And mags are not an issue as the company is still in business and making new ones.
For the low-income or entry-level gun buyer not looking to invest a lot of money the Hi-Point is about as good as it gets.
