HiPoint as a "disposable" firearm

i totally agree.....a person generally gets what they pay for......

but

its like the old saying--------one man's hamburger is another man's steak......

an inexpensive firearm does not necessarily make a bad firearm. It might sound crazy, but saturday night specials and "low-end" guns do have a place in our society........especially for folks living paycheck to paycheck or on a tight fixed income.

But as far as "disposable" guns go......i don't worry about the concept as "confiscation" is the least of my concerns......be it a $150 gun or a $600 gun.....i want to survive.
I know several folks that depend on the hi-point because its what they can afford for house and vehicle guns. From what i've seen, they are reliable. Even some officers i know carry the hi-point carbines in their vehicles and they are reliable as well.

Will i carry one? no. I'm spoiiled with my "j" frames.

As with any gun be it hi-point, ruger, smith, or what-ever----------shoot it and shoot it alot to make sure it is reliable. Many an expensive gun has failed out of the box as well.

I have fired a hi-point. and I like it. nice shooter and the owner has not taken it down 100% for cleaning, and she's still runnin'n fine

Sorry my life has no price tag on it. If and when im going to carry the pistol, it has to well tested using various types of ammo and made by company with a good rep. Price is not an option here.

Rob is completely right about revolvers being the biggest bargain out there........

My buddy has an ancient Charter Arms .38 snubbie (Worth about $100-$125) that runs like a clock Glock. It is a viable self defense fire arm indeed, and from what I've seen of it, I would bet my life on it.

*I have given him a standing offer of $100 cash if he ever gets tired of it!

I have an aquaintence with the same snubbie with a similar offer.  Something for the nightstand, glove box, tool box, etc.... I think he may have paid about 200 for his.

My everyday carry gun is a snubbie and the hi-point is a "fun" gun I bought for the family. It has been my truck gun from time to time.

Gave my Smith and Wesson snubbie to my father cause he did not have a self defense firearm. I miss that revolver.

I just traded a chair for one a few weeks ago (4"). I fully intended to sell it. Then I sobered up.

Smart Man FQ. Smith and Wesson makes a fine revolver. I just had some particular attachment to this one.

Must have been a hell of a chair.
