I've been playing with some FEG PA-63 surplus pistols. If you're looking for something lighter than the Hi-Point, I'd check one of these out. Copy of a Walther PP with lightweight frame, 21 oz. empty; ammo is the same price (a bit cheaper here) as .380 but 10% more powerful. And, contrary to what you've heard, I've got one that feeds hollow points 100%. For around $100

The JA9, unlike the Hi Point, has a pretty bad rep for dependability.
