My 10 year old Wilson CQB with 35k rounds through it would disagree, but I have never used it to shoot a bear.

1911's work fine if you maintain them and don't limp wrist them like a pussy.

Possibly the Hi-Point. Depends on the quality of workmanship that went into the custom 1911. Money doesn't always buy you the best.

rephrase the question.
On a table before you is a 2K custom 1911 and a hi point. You have to choose one to defend your life. No test fires allowed. what do you grab? I grab the hi point. |

Hi Point is a blow-back gun and I've never shot one. 1911 I have thousands of rounds fired through. I'd grab the one that I was most familiar with. |

It cost about $900 less than your poll 1911 but it is a thing of beauty and has always been very reliable. It is one of my favorite firearms ever.

The meme of Hi-Point reliability is BS; they're unreliable, blowback operated, pot metal crap with triggers from hell. Based on? I have owned a highpoint carbine. Very reliable and accurate for a $200 weapon. I had a friend (yes, still a friend) who had a highpoint .45. We all laughed at him, but we laughed less and less the more he shot his $150 pistol without malfunction. He has over 500 rounds through it, with no jams. Will i go out and buy one? No, give me a plain jane Springfield instead or a glock. Will i laugh at anyone who owns a highpoint and practices with it? No. When kept in the context of what they are, they are adequate if that is all you can bear to part with. |

Custom 1911s always have the tolerances tightened up. The tolerances are loose in a GI gun for a reason.
There is no second place in combat. If you jam on a range you raise your hand and depending on the discipline you fire again. |
