I have both, a 15-22, well, a couple, and a HiPoint 995. Since you don't hunt and have other tools for defense, I would definitely get a 15-22. I love them. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier to take down and clean than the HiPoint. Both have lifetime warranties. The 15-22 is cheaper to shoot, lighter, more ergonomic, just more fun. Mine shoots the cheapest, crappiest crap just fine. I haven't had any issues with my 995, but it is more of a utility gun, whereas the 15-22, while it could hunt small game, it is just plain fun. If you can only get 1, get a 15-22. I have had a Ruger 10/22, Marlin 60 & 795, Chiappa Rak-22, ATI M4-22, and the 15-22 was my favorite.
