Owners of the HP-15P tend to buy it specifically for the gold receiver finish, which is a polarizing aesthetic choice. People either want the look or they don't, and that drives most of the purchase decision more than any other spec.

The Hi-Point platform in an AR configuration gets mixed reviews on fit and finish compared to other AR-pattern pistols at higher price points. The M-Lok handguard and Picatinny rail are practical additions, and the included UTG flip-up sights mean it's usable out of the box. The 10.5-inch barrel in 5.56 NATO is a common AR pistol length, and function is generally reported as reliable with quality ammunition.

The blade brace is a functional solution for stability, though some owners swap it out. Trigger feel on the HP-15P draws the most criticism, with owners noting it is heavier than competing AR pistols. The value proposition at its price point is often cited as the main reason people overlook the trigger weight.
