I'm thinking along the same lines. As I recall SWAT magazine did a favorable write up on this pistol. It may very well be a well built gun. Unfortunately it will suffer from a lack of holster support and the mags and spare parts will dry up quickly once they stop importing them. But if someone is looking for a home defense or even carry gun (with the right holster) and really has to stay in the $300 range - these guns may offer a much better alternative to the High Points.
