Buying first pistol

[ripnbst]

Soooo, you wanna be cheap and picky??
Good luck!

I see your point but seriously can you fault him for not wanting a Jennings?

I will re-iterate what I had in my first post because it is worth re-iterating. Buy a full size handgun for home defense and range use. It will serve you best. By fullsize I mean no compact or subcompact models regardless of their price points. Only look at full size, also siometimes considered service size guns.

Never said get the Jennings. My point is you ask for cheap don't complain about cheap. He needs to do what he said and save some money and get something worth while.

I do not normally sell anything like a Jennings or HiPoint. I got the Jennings and several others in a Department of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs bid I won. The Jennings is not in bad condition, but you are right, I would rate the brand in the same category as HiPoints, Saturday Night Specials. But for people that do not have very much money, this is what they are looking at.

I have several friends that have Hi-Point, they have had no issues with them.

and how many of these friends have shot more than a couple of boxes of ammo though those Hi-points?

I know the one that has the .40 and .40 carbine has put at least 200 through each.

How many rounds do you have through Hi Points?

I bought one to throw in my tackle box and take camping. I had one FTF in each of the first two magazines. Since then it's seen about 1500 rounds without a single hiccup.

If it were me, I'd find a weekend/parttime job for the extra 2-300 for a quality semi-auto. It would only take a weekend or two maybe 3 then you can rely on your range gun.

Or if you have some credit, you could buy from Bud's w/ 6 month intrest free (after the 3% non-cash non-upcharge).
