I was thinking about this one
Hi Point 8 + 1 Round 380 ACP w/Black Finish & Hard Case $129.00 SHIPS FREE

But i really want a .45
Hi-Point 34510 45ACP/P 45ACP 9RD POLYMER $159.00 SHIPS FREE


I just think the 380 will be alot easier to conceal.

The .380 isnt as bad as that .45...thats why i consider it more. Has great reviews on buds gun shop. Any other brands that are as cheap? I dont want to buy used.

Sounds what im looking for then reliable and cheap. I could care less what kind of pride it gives me lol. But i will say this they are UGLY!!!! So how is a .380 as a personal defense gun?

I thought about buying a 9mm Hi-Point for my Bug-Out-Bag. Figured For a gun that will get 1000 rounds for a reliability check then put in a bag most likely never to be shot again I wanted something cheaper. After shooting Jason's I quickly dismissed that idea......

yes i have shot them. they are big and bulky, but if you want something to go bang, then it might be the gun for you. if you want something to defend you and your family look at some manufactures that have made a name for their selves. Glock, Colt, Springfield, Taurus, Beretta, S&W, Ruger, Walther, etc. yes they cost more money but are worth it in the long run, especially in the the resale area. a cheap gun will never be worth more later on down the road. more expensive guns aren't a guarantee money maker but more of your investment will be retained later on when you trade in or sell.

also the Hipoint is the only gun you can chamber a round using only one hand....

Well shit! Whats a good concealed gun? I really want a .45. I know im gonna have to pay alot more though.

And yes, that's why they are so thick...they are made out of cheap assed pot metal, by a company that's been sued out of exastance 2 or 3 times, changes it's name and comes back...

Besides, what good is a lifetime warranty when the company goes out of business...

Yep....several times, 9mm, 40 & 45...they all had problems feeding, jamming & were worthless unless you planed on hitting somebody with the brick...

PLUM is you're looking for a good gun, that won't break the bank, buy a CZ-75 9MM, I have one in my truck:tu:

If you are looking for a cheap gun, take a look at the S&W Sigma Series. Heavy ass trigger but i think it is the best gun you can have for the money.

Found a 380 sigma for $255, i think thats what im going to go with. Very compact it looks like.

Ok probably a stupid question but whats bigger a 9mm or a 380? I would like a .40 or .45 but i cant justify the price.

Originally Posted by gunman41mag (Post 763120)

Don't get a sigma 380:s: The 9MM is a more powerful round than the 380, Look around for a used CZ-75 it could be had for less than $350:tu: Remember the CZ-75 has a frame mounted safety & it's accurate:tu:

Why is this....chances are you can save some $$$ on a used handgun & it's not going to be shot to death if shot much at all....might have finish wear...but big deal....

the weight of the slide, when the gun is abruptly thrust in one direction and then in another will make the slide move and chamber a round if the mag is loaded.

example, this was done repetitively with snap caps to prove it to a local gun shop owner.

with the chamber empty, and a single snap cap in the mag, take the gun, point the muzzle towards the ground. move the gun up and then down towards the ground very quickly in one quick movement.

the weight of the slide will make it move slower than the frame, causing it to slide back and chamber a round. there is a video online somewhere that demonstrate this technique step for step.

it also can double as a hammer if need be.....

if you want to Conceal Carry, then, the Hi-point is not for you. unless you wear clothes 3 sizes too big or have a few fat rolls to hide it under then you will never be able to conceal it 100%
