[QUOTE="twoguns?, post: 2685630, member: 7012"] Lot of experience on this forum, to be used as wanted/needed. I understand the difference between a Wilson Custom, Kimber, Springfield, Taurus and a Hi-point. Some are prettier, more efficient, more accurate, more reliable, better shooters, or ..just a name. Ive had a Taurus with the upgrades open ejector port, comp trigger, lightened hammer, polished feed ramp, and the guide rod prob had been fixed...new $550. I didnt shoot it that much, maybe 500 rounds in a year I had it, only prob I had with it , my B-I-L loaded a 40s&w in it. Heard it go POof, stopped him, the bullet left the chamber , but boy the brass was jacked it there. Pryed the brass out inspected the barrell, no damage, loaded another mag and it returned to fireing fine. It would shoot anything you put in it , just not the 40's too well..ha Springfield milspec M1A, it too shot fine ,a little rough, didnt like the real flat nose hollow points. $50 at gunsmith, it did a Lot better..used $400+$50 RIA tactical, it also had the upgrades/fixes, shoots well, feeding hasnt been an issue, but the grip safety doesnt seem to fit My hand at the palm swell, have to be conscious about that when gripping. New $500 Springfield Lightweight Champion Operator- 4"...the others were 5" Much different gun, smooth, accurate , feeds anything , about 7-800 rds through it New $ 850 Ive shot a Wilson and a Kimber, very nice , smooth , Nice guns I fondled a Les Baer, nowhere to shoot it, very nice looking , feeling gun. I know about going into combat (not personally) with a weapon that has 20-30k rounds to prove its competent ...I just hope thats not my situation. So bash if you wish, I can hit a 9" paper plate out to about 50 yards , on a Good day, on bad days ...I go to a rifle... ;) I would probably buy a higher end pistol, budget stops me for now, so Ive had to learn to shoot what I can afford. OH, the Hi-point, for the price ...ya just cant beat them, well ya can , and they still shoot...butt ugly [/QUOTE]
