Had a shooting in my city about five years ago. Started out as a road rage inccident. The two drivers took it to a nearby parking lot. One jumped out with a big stick. The other guy pulled out a Hi-Point and shot the stick wielder four times.

Do you see what i mean...for a $129 you can defend yourself from a guy with a stick...luckily the guy didnt have a shovel or the hi-point dude would have been SOL

If I only had ~$150 to spend on a handgun, I'd probably run by a pawn shop and buy an old .38 or a Makarov (preferably the .38 though)

129-150? For 200, I can get a Bersa or a CZ-52

For 200 you can get a cz52, holster, 2 mags. Hi point may function (hot or miss on reliability) but poor sights unconfortable grip and heavy gritty trigger make a horrible defensive weapon....

A bad gun is better than no gun, and can still gun. I'm still shocked by all the .32 Basque autos we found in Afganistan.

A guy at the gunstore (customer) kept telling people not to get 1911s since theyll shoot theselves when they carry then started singing praise for the glock because it is far superior to any pistol out there.......

What a fucking dumbfuck. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING is better than the M1911 (it's just my opinion).

Just had a guy in the store that wants to put a safty on his glock...i think these types of people just need to put their man pants on. The glock safties are good enough already.

Ohhh and the 1911 is the best gun ever, its not just your opinion.
