Thanks to Bryan S. for sharing this photo. It shows a 1911 and a Hi-Point 45 and compares features. It is hard to argue against the list. Although some of the features do not seem quite accurate on the 1911 side. Stove piping and rust is not something I have witnessed in 1911s. But I have not shot a lot of 1911s so that may be one reason.

Have any of you experienced such issues with 1911s or have any of you shot a Hi-Point 45 and it malfunctioned?
