Well it's certainly not the most desirable thing the DOJ has banned.
My buddy Dave let me play with a .45cal Hi-Point 1911 clone he had in his safe. He was trying a little to sell it to me, but he knew it was a POS too.
Some old bar fly had bought it from him because it was cheap, then she failed the background check, got prosecuted for an old warrant they discovered in the process, and wound up behind bars for 3 to 5 on some fraud charge.
Anyhow, I could have had it for about $200 NIB, but I decided to save my cash. I knew the reputation, and it wasn't one I fancied.
