Actually the 1911 was replaced by the Beretta 92 FS in 1985, so for the last 20 years it has been the standard. Doesn't change the fact that it's shit.

Listen, buying a cheaper pistol is fine, but don't buy a Hi-Point. They are unrelaible junk. Seriously, they aren't entry level pistols, they're advanced clubs. Get a Taurus, get a Charles Daly, or look at the used market. Sites like Gunbroker.com, gunsamerica.com, and auctionarms.com will help you with price indexing, and you might just find a deal on there.
