High Point is known for its bulky inexpensive firearms. Quality is generally considered to be acceptable for recreational use, but not necessarily for defensive purposes.
They're not total junk, but they're not of particularly high quality, either.
Not very. Electric pistols are generally cheap and low quality.

Llama has a tradition for not being a particularly high quality manufacturer. While they're not the worst on the market, there's a number of pistols you can purchase for around the same price which are superior.
Decent quality.
Weihrauch, which was a German company specialising in high quality airguns and subcalibre firearms. Their approach with the Arminius line of pistols was a bit different, however.
No. There are many low-quality pistols in .380, but this is not related to the caliber. If it is a reliable model, it won't jam more than any reliable larger caliber. Badly designed and sloppily made pistols will jam, quality pistols will work perfectly. For instance, SIG Sauer P230 is chambered in .380 and is one of the most reliable pistols out there.
Why ARE High Point pistols so cheap?There's a niche in the pistol-buyers market for an inexpensive firearm. One that is not fancy, one that is not made of the strongest alloys known to man, one that doesn't have a complicated recoil system and one that shoot ~reliably.High Point pistols fill this niche. Their pistols are not beautiful, in any sense of the word. They are often made from "pot metal" which is often a zinc alloy--an easily moldable, inexpensive alloy. Even the larger calibers use a Blow Back recoil system, that requires only a large spring balanced with a weighted slide. People who have shot these pistols say they are reliable.They are made to sell at a very low price, THAT is their purpose, their raison d' etre.
European made. Middle of the road for quality.
There have been many improvements made on the quality of running vests lately while maintaining a reasonable price point. So no, the quality of the vest will not decrease with a lower price point anymore. You can get a high quality vest for a decent price.
If you mean you don't have to cock after every shot, yes there are pistols like that. But there is no firearm you don't have to cock at some point.
A high smoke-point.
