BRG, that isn't bad at all!
Actually, the Hi-Point kind of reminds me of a shorter stubbier Remington Nylon on steroids.
Has anybody had good luck with those long 15-round 1911 mags on the market? I've heard some bad things about them, but it would go well in the Carbine. I have some ten-rounders by Mecgar, and they work very well.
