I just decided to check out the Hi-Point Firearms Web Site. They are a maker located in Dayton, Ohio
Anybody Ever Own/See/Shoot One?
I had to go take a look because I could not believe that they were offering a full size polymer frame "Made In USA" firearm in .45acp & .40 S&W for the suggested retail price of $179.00

and with an unlimited lifetime warrenty yet!?!
They also offer a 9mm carbine for dirt cheap. It's strange looking though.
Their .45 seems a little large (to me) for concealed carry. Here is a photo.
Gosh...I can't even buy a doggone Colt slide (only) for $179.00 !!!
I might just hafta plunk down some pocket change & buy one of these odd looking beasts...just for the heckovit. Geesh...I would like to buy one just to take it apart on a Sunday night.
Here is the link to their site.
