Pappafisher, I am a BIG fan of the HP warranty. I have bought these guns broken, beat up & missing parts in a box.
I have sent 18 guns back to the factory for repair or replacement. so far, I have had 3 guns replaced with brand new guns,
& the others were repaired better than new.
I was never told they won't fix it, But January 1st, 2015, Hi Point changed their warranty to EXCLUDE all of the older alloy framed handguns.
I guess it was only a matter of time, NOTHING last forever?
