The Hi-Point C9 and CF380 are among the cheapest pistols available, ranging from $80-$200. While Hi-Point offers excellent customer service and US-based manufacturing, these firearms are known for reliability issues due to their heavy blowback action, small chambers, and basic sights.

This review of the Hi-Point CF380 highlights its surprisingly durable finish and undeniable reliability, especially considering its low price point of $120-$170.

While not aesthetically pleasing, its functional robustness makes it a viable, albeit basic, option for self-defense.
