I've been looking at the 40 S&W carbine for some time now. One guy says hi point is a worthless investment regardless of which piece - pistol or carbine. Another who I transferred a pistol to a while back says he likes the heck out of it. Is there a middle road? Seems that most comments here are positive. Anyone have really bad news to relate about the 40?

I dislike gun fascism. There are only 3 kinds of bad guns: those that won't shoot, or function poorly (these can often be repaired or upgraded), those that are unsafe (these can often be repaired), and those that I don't have. All the rest are good.
I had a guy criticize me for buying a JHP. Thought they weren't good pistols. While I've fired less than 50 rounds through it (only got it a week ago) my impression is that it will go bang everytime, is accurate enough to hit center mass at common self defense ranges, and it delivers the potent .45 ACP cartridge. That's a hell of a lot of last-ditch reliable defensive firepower for $140.
