The wanton bashing in this thread reminds me of HiPoint being bashed. Personally, I couldn't be happier with my under-$200 MSRP 9x19 rifle. :)
It's not bashing when it's fact The Judge, although heavily marketed and talked up as such, is a completely unsuitable SD/HD weapon...the HiPoints (both carbines and pistols) as crude as they are...are FAR better weapons than the Judge.
Oh, and while both the Taurus made guns and HiPoints have a good probability of having problems...guess which one you can actually get fixed in a timely manner?
