Snipped from these manuals:
"....we strongly recommend that you not store or handle this, or any other firearm with a cartridge in the barrel...."
Appears to be a position statement for liability purposes rather than a specific warning on these pistols. If I were to take this literally, then High Point is recommending that my 1911s not be carried in condition 1.
Therefore no cigar on your cites. Are you suggesting that they know these pistols will/can/have drop fired?
Any pistol not capable of being carried locked and loaded is IMO not suitable for defensive carry. ymmv
It is interesting that only the C9 and CF380 High Points are on California's list of approved pistols. Probably because the manufacturer did not submit them for inclusion. http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the manufacturer knows more about their gun than some reviewer... But that's just me. So you can decide which is a better source. Hi-Point Firearms or Paul Scarlata.

Read the first sentence after the CAUTION in each manual.
