Want To Buy Rough tackle box pistol

[KurtM]

Excuse me Mr. bad event, I've got to walk back over here and open my tackle box to access my pistol, I'll be with you in a bit.

I brag all the time on my HI-Points.
I have 2 in 9mm 3 in 45 and 1 in 40 and a 40 carbine.
Everyone of them are very accurate and 100% reliable.

I have many friends that think more money means better firearm.
They poo pooed on my Hi-Points until they shot them and told me: I like it, I thought they were not reliable this thing shoots great.

I will second the 9mm Hi-Point.

If you shoot it you will probably not want to leave it in a tackle box .
The 9mm is 25 ounces unloaded and you can add 4 more ounces for a loaded one.

Owned two in the past just because and for fun recently picked up at 9mm carbine from @Firemedic712 and it’s a hoot to shoot.
If you want something to pop snakes maybe look at a Heritage Rough Rider I’ve owned several and if you put some thread glue on the screws they aren’t bad at all for the money.

The Ruger Wrangler in 22 lr about that.

Here's what happened to my m&p 45. Luckily the brush-hog didn't get it but the back tire did and it forcibly popped the slide off and broke the rear dovetail section which I was unable to find off in the process. It broke off right behind the rear pins and seems mostly undamaged other than the missing dovetail at the rear of the frame, and the slide having a small chipped section, the backplate needing replace, and the rear site being pushed out of place so I've been wondering if it's repairable by somehow rebuilding that back section with some type of polymer or jb weld, because it seems possible. But I'm hesitant because I'm not sure how it would hold up and don't really want the missing area I rebuild with some kind of material that I am able to sculpt, or jb weld to replace the snapped off section of the frame at the rear blowing out on me.

I’d call smith & Wesson, explain what I did and see what they would charge me to repair it. Worth a call at least

That's a good idea, I have read about their warranty process and it didn't seem like it would be covered since it was my mistake and not a manufacturer defect but I will give that a shot. I appreciate the advice! It is now at the top of my list of steps to take and things to do before attempting to repair it myself. If they can't repair it I may find someone that's tech savvy(unlike me) with 3d printing capabilities to make a print of just the rear section of the frame to try to fit it to the frame and do a little plastic "welding"
