High Point Firearms and Service.
High Point firearms get a lot of bad reviews. Much of it justified. I have read some good. I own two, both CF .380's. I bought one 12 years ago and one recently. The one I bought 12 years ago I shot for about a year and the little plastic piece on the slide latch/safety came off. I put it in its case and it has been sitting in a closet ever since, until last week. I took it out and shot it. Put 100 rounds thru it, no jams, no misfires, no FTE, nothing. At 7 yards I was able to get pretty decent groups. That's with the latch still broken. They arent very nice looking guns and they are heavy but from my experience they run just fine. So anyway I was looking at their lifetime warranty and decided to call. I called them today and asked how much the part would be to ship to me. Cost: $0. The guy at Beemiller who handles their parts and service told me that any part that malfunctions on the gun is shipped free to the owner, no matter how old it is. And if you have to ship it to them, if its too old they will replace the gun and even if its only a repair they will ship back with a brand new magazine. That's pretty darn good service for a low end gun manufacturer if you ask me. I don't think I would stake my life on a High Point Firearm but for just shooting at targets and having something to shoot they aren't a bad deal (IMHO). Although a lot of people pointed out on another forum that is thats all you can afford then at least you have something to defend yourself with.
