Guest busteryhyman Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I'll be taking the OPOTC firearms course this spring and a requirement is to bring your own handgun plus 200 rounds of ammunition. I dont have a ton of cash to spend and just looking for a shop that sells for decent prices. Damn me for choosing criminal justice and investigations.

Browning Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Them $100 9's arent worth a shit, so Ive been told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I would not trust my life to a $100 hi-point. Another vote here for Vances. Nice shop with knowledgable people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest busteryhyman Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 looks like i'm gonna be making a trip over to Vances then. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawbinder Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Don't buy a cheap gun like a Hi-point remember you get what you pay for. Vance's is kind of expensive but they do offer 6 months same as cash and that is awsome. What kind of gun are you looking for 9, 40, 45? Choose a name brand S&W, Sig Saur, Glock, Browning etc. Look at all the safety features on each gun and then choose what you are looking for. CPD carries the S&W 4506, 45 cal. 8 in the mag and 1 in the pipe. Best safety feature the gun will not fire if you take the magazine out even if there is a round in chamber. Excellent gun but I wish it carried more rounds my only complaint. Good luck and happy gun hunting. Im jealous I have to wait till fall to get another gun.

Lustalbert Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 def vances. it may be a little pricey, but there is a compact 1911 on the market. I liked how it handeled, but i am also used to a full size 1911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgbdbn Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 A friend of mine just bought two Smith & Wesson .40's at Vances for $189 a piece. They were police trade ins. They were still in really nice shape no cosmetic flaws and the action worked smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Ben Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I'd go to Vance's. You really don't want a Hi-Point to carry. They're very bulky and heavy. They also jam pretty easily. I had one for about 6 months, and I couldn't go to the range without it jamming on me several times. It's a decent gun for home defense, but that's about it. I've since bought a Tarus Millenium which I paid about 4 times the price of the Hi-Point, and I bought it used. It's worth every penny too. I've put 100 rounds through it in one trip to the range and never had a single jam. When it comes to hand guns, you really do get what you pay for.

BloodRed Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I have had no problems with my Hi-Point 9mm at all. I have had the gun for about 3 years and take it to the range about once every 2 months to shoot off 200-300 rounds. It has only jamed on me one time. The secret I have found is to clean the gun a lot and soak it in oil. I clean it before and after I go shooting. It is pretty heavy and isn't the best for hitting your target more than 25 feet away. But for home security, it will work. I am thinking of getting another gun but don't know what to get yet. Oh yeah forgot to tell you a good place to get a gun is Outdoor Valley in Lancaster. You can rent just about any gun there to get a feel for it in the range before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PonyPimpstress1647545491 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 First i would like to say sorry for messing up you thread Turd Furgason! My recomendation, as general as it is, is a 9mm... however, it's the only gun i've ever heald other than a revolver! as for girlygirl... I have tried to make this as easy and peaceful as possible (with you being on cr and being childish). You need to grow up. You are 23-24, and act like a jealous little gradeschool kid. I don't know what your problem is, other than the fact that you can only live in the past. Word around the block is that you have a boyfriend!?! So please leave your past behind you... this would be Eric, and now me... even tho I was and never will be a part of your life (minus the time you looked like a stalker on your bike). Just ignore any post made by Eric or I, and it will make your life alot simpler. Stop being such a drama queen... if you truely have ANYTHING to say about Eric or I, please be mature enough to say it to our face.... you know where to find us. If not, then you show your true colors. END OF STORY ~Jennifer p.s. turd furgason, good luck on your gun search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlygirl18t Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I'll be at Mr. G's tonight. Come up I will say it to your face. I don't care to track either one of you down because you are not worth my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 don't shit talk a hi-point unless you own one I put almost 2000 rounds through my 45 before I cleaned it and it never jammed misfired or anything else. your weapon can never be too clean I don't care how much you paid for it its going to fuck up if it stays dirty for a long time. if you carry it every day it should at the very least be wiped down with oil at night and cleaned after everytime you shoot it. this will promote greater accuracy. A Hi-Point is a very good weapon. I wouldn't hesitate to trust my life to my .45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
