[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1761742, member: 11766"] And the "everyday person" should have a Bersa, Taurus, Rossi, Jennings- Bryco, Highpoint or whatever they can justify in their night stand. If I was making a choice between the bills or a handgun.. I'd be all over the cheapest gun I could find more so if it lived in my sock drawer. I am a everyday person too...my day is spent with a defensive handgun on me. My month finds me running about 300 rounds through that pistol (IDPA) and maybe another 100-200 or so for casual shooting etc. I shoot enough that my economy justifies a couple of guns to spread the wear and double the fun factor. Down side- I had to save up and wait to get the quality tools I have now. There are 3 kinds of gun people...those who "want" a gun-and any gun will do. Those who "like" guns and will spend money on a gun that never leaves the safe or gets willed to a museum... and those who "shoot" guns... guns that get "used" need to be durable, affordable and most of all "Fixable" and that specification goes to "supported". Try to order parts for a Taurus so your local Gunsmith can fix it. Taurus wont sell parts...and aftermarket parts just don't exist for those guns. I can't wait 5 months for a spring or sear repair even if that repair is "free". Jennings..Bryco guns- no support and most gunsmiths wont fool with them. XD has little support other than factory... but they hold up to a lot of use...and if you need to send one back, it gets turned around quickly. Smith and Wesson has good factory service and Glock is very good to deal with also--- in the rare case you need to send one back. Of course, the support issue goes right down the line...night sights, hi vis sights, holsters, magazines, grips... a major brand gets attention - the minor makers don't. Simply stated--- my everyday needs (and requirements) are not the same as yours. [/QUOTE]
