[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 1827085, member: 16136"] What if you borrowed another $200 from a friend and paid them $50/month over the next 4 months? My issue with buying a $200 pistol for home defense is the chances the gun will be something you could bet your life on will be slim. There are hundreds of people who have claimed hi-points with plenty of rounds through them but there are also some with serious issues. If I am betting my life on it, I want a service weapon. A full size Glock, S&W M&P pistol, etc. $400 will get you into a used M&P or Glock. Seriously, think about what you are asking of this pistol, think on it, and then think "Is my life worth more than $200?" I dont even know you and being a member of OSA automatically puts your worth above $200. Please save or come up with more money somehow. Sooner State Pawn does layaway I believe. Put $200 down and then make payments til you get the gun you really want and can comfortably bet your life on. There is no shame in layaway, people do it all the time. [/QUOTE]
