At a small auction recently the two long guns and one 22 pistol all went crazy high. Is it like that everywhere? I know any auction is a gamble as it only takes 2 bidders to create insanity, but I hope it's not always like that.

What Munson said. I have never owned one, but I have had two friends that have and both were very unhappy. Both of those guys got rid of them.

I decided against the hipoint. I had watched some youtube reviews and one of them said they contacted the manufacturer and they fixed it no charge. But yeah, a gun that jams is a damn near useless gun.
I did end up going with the Taurus PT111 G2. DEGuns had it for $208.99 plus shipping which is a little high at $30. Still a decent deal. https://www.deguns.net/taurus-pt-111...11031g2-12.htm

My Grandson was looking at different pistols (as his first) and he asked my advice. I asked him "what models do I use" and he said "Sig Sauer, HK, Walther and Springfield". and I said, "Then you have your answer". Yes, they are more expensive, but I've always believed that "you get what you pay for". On the other hand, my Wife carries a little Bersa Thunder .380 that she dearly loves. $300 and I promise you, that gun will kill someone just as dead as a $1,000 pistol. |

A couple of things with this: IF the gun is going to be more of a 'toy' than an all purpose gun, then fine. BUT, the 40 SW is not the funnest round to shoot nor is the most affordable. I'd recommend going with a 9mm regardless of what you get. Personally, I owned a Hi-point and had NO issues with it and I know of others who have had good luck as well, but at the end of the day I didn't trust it. That being said, when I bought my daughter her first gun...I went with a Glock. No messing around. IF the situation arises where she HAS to shoot it at a bad guy it needs to be as close to 100% reliable as possible...Hi-point never gave me the feeling of reliability. My 2 cents.

Went out and shot my M1 Garand. Shot 48 rounds out of it with no issues. Sights needed adjusted but it was close enough. I love the ping sound when the clip ejected. My favorite gun I own.
