All, thanks for the replies.
I do have a couple of guns that are modestly "nicer" than a Hi-Point, but a buddy of mine from the Marines and I were thinking about running them, really out of good humor.
The first part of the adventure would have been to buy four of these and send them off to a gunsmith for a trigger job and have the internals and mags done in NP3... that alone would have been very challenging, but not impossible.
The mission however might be impossible in L10; place top 3, wearing our own homemade "TEEM HI-POINT" shirts, send those pics in to Beemiller, and request a team sponsorship.
Admittedly we've never owned Hi Points, or ever actually have seen one in person for that matter, so your feedback on how they work is super valuable, thank you (I had no idea they were SAO and had to go into L10).
L10 probably kills the deal... but, you never know.
Thanks again everyone!
