Quote History Quoted: A buddy of mine has a 1st gen Hi Point. This stock would make it a bit more useful.
Wonder why they couldn't have used a Glock or Beretta magwell.

HiPoint built the receiver to only accept single stack mags. To get anything bigger in there would require machining the receiver and reengineering the trigger bow.
One alternative is modifying single-stack feed drums, like the Glock, or using a 1911 mag catch in the .45", and using the existing .45" ACP drum.
The other would be engineering a new double to single stack mag, like the double stack Makarovs, which had a long single stack portion on top - so the trigger wouldn't have to be reengineered, presumably. HighTower have stated they left room in the magwell for such an eventuality, and also claim they will offer a 1911 mag catch in the .45" model.
