Mine has now been to New Hampshire twice! Needless to say, I'm not auite as thrilled with it as I once was.
Accuracy-wise, it's unbelievable. The first two shots out of it went in the same hole. I actually thought I'd missed the paper and had to reel it in to see for myself.
Strangely enough it was after about 1000 rounds that it had its first hiccough. It started having feeding issues - FTRB and 3 point jams, it would get stuck on the disconnector, and finally it started to slamfire. I sent it back in and they polished it up and did some voodoo on the lock work and it ran great for another 500 or so when it decided to shuck the claw off of the extractor in the middle of a match. I suppose I could have just replaced the extractor myself, but they issued me an RMA as soon as I had them on the phone. I've never fiddled with an external extractor anyway.
Since then I've put another 1500 or so through it with no further problems so I'm back to carrying it.
I still love the gun, and Sig's customer service has been top notch, but I'm saving up to replace it with a Les Baer Custom Carry. If nothing else, the GSR has really gotten me hooked on higher end handguns.

Carried several platforms over last six years but for 2 1/2 years now it has been my SIG 226 ST in 9mm. I like 'large and heavy' and favor the 15+1 capacity.
My other options if needed include - R9 for pocket carry and/or BUG ....... a SW99 when I might need some weight reduction ..... and often slip a .22 mag NAA mini in a pocket too. SP-101 was carried for some time as was too a M28 .357 and have used my BHP also. Username reflects early carry of my P95 ..... to late now to change my username!
I carry a S&W M&P9 in a Comptac MTAC, but I do not carry it everyday. I work in an office setting and can't carry it easily. I have been try to find something smaller that I can tuck, but am not having much luck. I have recently aquired a Skyy CPX-1 for daily pocket carry at work, but I am not really liking it. Back to the drawing board.
Dude, if the Hi Point is reliable and it works for you then what's to laugh at? We should be laughed at for spending 3 times what you did for something that performs the same function.Please don't laugh at me, but I carry a 9mm Hi Point model C9. Unlike a lot of you guys, I can't afford high end models such as 1911s, Glocks, Sigs, or even Taurus. I believe that Hi Points were made with guys like me in mind.
