I just received the most recent Gun Tests Magazine (February edition). There was a comparison between three 330 Acp autoloaders. The contestants were the Bersas Firestorm $307 bucks), the Walther PPK ($556 bucks) and the oddball of the group, the Hi Point Model CF380 ($135 bucks).
To me, this comparison was a little outrageous. How can you compare a 135 dollar pistol to one four times its price, like the PPK at $556? This is like comparing a Chevy Caliber to a Chevy Corvette. While both vehicles will get you where you want to go, one is much classier and offers more bells and whistles.
With all that said, the inexpensive Hi Point didn't do all that badly, in comparison. It was 100% reliable and accuracy was just slightly over that of the other two weapons.
