Buying first pistol

[RKM]

I see from your other post you work at car dealerships.............that explains the condescending attitude.

I remember reading once that manufacturing costs for a Glock are somewhere in the neighborhood of $75. I can't imagine that a Hi Point can beat that by too much. $150 vs $500 is a big difference for something that essentially costs the same to manufacture. It makes me wonder in where all the difference is. Profit, QC, advertising. Now of course there are a lot more Glocks produced annually than Hi Points, so it's not necessarily apples v apples but still.

I'd bet the difference in costs lie in R&D and engineering time. How many years does Glock spend designing, testing, redesigning, testing, etc? How many months did Hipoint spend designing and testing?

Low mfg cost is also the result of ingenuity and experience.

Right. Kissing people's ass all day as a service advisor gives me a huge condescending attitude. Your so smart.

It actually just makes be able to enjoy running my mouth on here because I can't at work! I can actually say what I think of you.

When did this turn into a flame war over MY gun choice? Am I asking any of YOU to go buy one? NO. Am I asking any of YOU to use one? NO. I asked for advice, this is true, but if I decided not to take that advice, isn't it MY choice? I thank ALL of you that gave me the advice I asked for, but to turn my thread into a bashing contest? No thank you, I had to deal with stuff like that growing up in an abusive home.

Then again, do not be surprised if I ask a few months down the road if I have to choose between a 1911 and a 9mm Sig
