Hazcat,

Wow!  Great luck with that Hi-point.  I never knew they were that reliable.  Never heard a good thing about 'em at all.  The ones I handled seemed clunky and left me a little dissatisfied but I appreciate your input I really had no idea.  No offense intended just going on what I knew.  Didn't mean to get the hair on your Hazcat back raised up!  :D Thanks!  ;)

Don't short change the HI-Point.  See the linked review:  http://www.shootingtimes.com/handgun_reviews/hipoint_100605/

After reading it, while they are not the most pleasant pistol to look at, they sure sound like they get the job done.  Last Saturday, I burned through enough .45 ACP ammo to buy one of these and still have money left over for dinner.

If I could get one where I live (which I cannot), I'd buy one in a heartbeat.  You really only see the sights when your squeezing the trigger anyway...

JMHO......Good Luck!

Take it as "not hear say", this is the real deal.  Also their customer service is excellent and their warranty is lifetime unconditional.

PLUS made in the USA.

I've seen surplus Makarovs pretty cheap. It's a different 9mm but still a 9. It's a little more powerful than a .380 but the ammo is CHEAP. The .32 NAA conversion is pretty neat too. The 9x19mm I really want is $1,400 but I have to settle for one I can afford. I'll be checking back here again to see what's out there.

You should be able to pick up a SR9 REALLY CHEAP.   :-X
Probably....but if you're interested in trying to hit something with it, I'd try something else. There are some real deals around on used Sigs and they are reliable and great shooters.

S&W Sigmas

Their trigger is terrible...... They seem to be reliable and would probably make a decent inexpensive personal defense gun, but their mushy trigger is frustrating to try to shoot for any real accuracy.
