[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 812917, member: 711"] Blutch, skip the Hi-Point. If you were just going to have it as a home defense gun that you occasionally practice with, it might be a good idea. However, from your posts, resistance is futile, you have been assimilated (into the gun nut ranks) and the Hi-Point would simply be a waste of your time. Not of your money, because you can almost always get your money out of them on a resale. They are heavy, ugly, balance like a brick, and cause other shooters to look down on you. (If you are as strange as I am, you may want to become a Hi-Point wizard just to confound the critics. I once won class C in a skeet tournament at the Dallas Gun Club with a Mossberg pump shotgun. You would have thought I introduced a social disease to the club. It was glorious.) A revolver for home defense (and learn to shoot it double action please) is great. Your gun-resisting wife will grab a gun if she or you are really threatened, and just pulling the trigger is much better than messing with whatever it takes to make your auto fire. A Glock would also be okay, bucause they operate like a revolver in terms of simplicity. Never cock a revolver in a self defense situation. It's slow, and if you don't immediately shoot, you have a one touch accidental discharge in your hand. I have a few guns that you might find interesting to shoot. PM me if you want to make contact, and I'll bring some hardware to H&H. CB [/QUOTE]
