Stopped into a local gas station and noticed one of the clerks packing a Hi- Point 380 on his side. couldn't miss it ! He was mexican carrying it just behind his belt, not tucked into the pants.
While I was glad to see someone determined to protect himself and the other clerk, I was concerned that he was going to drop it. I asked him if he carried one in the chamber, and he said yes. I asked him if he had a holster for it and he said he didn't like wearing it. I then asked him if he thought it might slip out from behind his belt and discharge if it hit the floor and he said it hadn't happened yet. He started getting defensive so I just paid for my purchase and left.
I like my hi-point 380. A whole bunch of lead downrange and it's never given me any problems. I don't think I'm going to stick mine in my belt and tote it around cocked and safetied. I don't know how they are if they're dropped and I don't want to be a test case.
