What does it really matter what you carry as long as: 1.) You can hit what your aiming at reliably. 2.) The gun functions with the ammunition you intend to use reliably. 3.) It meets any dumb restrictions that may be in place where you live. 4.) You can afford the ammunition to practice with it. 5.) The gun is mechanically sound and safe to shoot.

I just picked up a CZ p290RS compact single stack 9mm for summer carry used for $425 out the door. if you look, you can find a good gun to fit you needs.

Ive finally decided that number 3 no longer applies. I was a gunsmith professionally for several years, had to go through all the ATF and State crap to be able to buy/sell firearms and ammo and store them on the premises. Virginia was the last straw of a hundred thousand straws. They have been infringing for over a hundred and thirty years. No more. All gun laws are illegal, every last one, and no American should obey even the least of them. If it exists in the world, in any military or government Armory ANYWHERE, then Americans are meant to OWN it, and be PROFICIENT in its USE. That is the LETTER and the SPIRIT of the RIGHT that 2A was written to PROTECT.

Our boss gave him a new hat that he wears, but that was a year ago, and he has not thrown away his old hat. His cheap tool box and buckets of junk, are located in a part of the shop we call "Area 51." He trims his greasy beard once a year before the Christmas party, and wears a musty duster that covers up his normal stench. I am going to write a new book called; "50 shades of smeagle's shirt."

I could be wrong, but usually those guns used in a shooting (justified or not) usually don't seem to ever make it back to their owners ever again. At least from most of the anecdotal reports of commenters who were involved in citizen shootings I've read online that's the case. I assume if you have really good legal representation you may get it back at some point, but like you said it could take years or more if it even does work out at all.
@nicholasevans9627 4 жыл бұрын
@@100GTAGUY This exactly. I have friend that used to work for Uber. He was involved in a self defense shooting. He was deemed clear by the police. Because of the whole evidence thing, he lost his Glock 43 which was used in the shooting and he also lost his Glock 17 gen 4 which was also locked in the trunk of his vehicle. That gun was never used in shooting. So 2 guns lost due to police evidence. 3 years later he still hasn't gotten them back. This is why I will always buy a used, and a cheap gun for concealed carry. I have expensive firearms, but I keep those strictly for the range.

So if you mag only holds 8 rounds, that's still 4 times more rounds than you probably need. A common gripe about the Hi Point C9 is that the standard mags only hold 8 rounds. BTW - Hi Point also makes 10 rounds mags for it.

@@GYMJAX Mostly an undeserved reputation. Depends on the ammo. Hi-Points tend to favor the hot stuff. They even say a Hi-Point won't run hollow points reliably, but as a reloader who hardly ever shoots factory stuff, all I can say is that BOTH of my Hi-Points has eaten every +P hollow point I've fed it without fail. With that said, though, there are many other guns out there with better triggers, better ergonomics and better magazine capacity.

One of the 19's has slide milling and a Vortex Venom. 3 of them have aftermarket trigger shoes

I'm writing this only a few minutes into the video, and I'm sure others have said it as well. You don't want your carry gun to be an expensive gun if you work for a living, and money matters to you. They will take your gun if fire it and, in some cases, strictly for drawing it in public. Your carry gun needs to be of a price and quality that you can ok with losing for a while, if not forever. Edit* If at all possible, do not carry a family heirloom as a self-defense weapon, or use one as your home-defense weapon.

Sometimes I go into gun shops when I am traveling and will see something like a Bursa 380 and ask about it. If the employee is like "You don't want that..." then I immediately ask why they are selling it. These kinds of questions show what people are about. If all you have is an old .25 revolver, at least you are armed, and people should help you make the most of what you have. If they aren't that helpful, they aren't people I want to be around.

The way I look at it is if the gun were loaded and pointed at you with intent to kill, and you feel threatened by it, it's a valid tool for self defense. As much as I'd feel like laughing at someone pointing a Zip gun or a Lorcin L380 at me (both are notorious for failing to fire, my personal Lorcin L380 I bought for $50 for shits and giggles failing to fire 3 times average per 7 round mag), I'd still take it as a serious threat. My personal EDC pistol is an Astra A-100 in .40S&W I picked up for $250. Great, solid gun with a great reputation among Spain's military which carried them for a time as standard issue service pistols. Its only downside is its weight, at about 34oz unloaded due to its rugged and robust all steel construction... oh, and it can rust due to being steel, if not cared for, but that goes for any classic steel weapon that isn't stainless. I have no regrets buying it, and being 6'4", I can easily conceal it. Probably not a viable conceal carry gun for folks under 6 foot. Oh, and I've only had one double feed and one stove pipe out of about 1,000 rounds fired, and I blame the cheap target ammo for those failures. The A-100 eats pretty much any .40S&W ammo I feed it without issue, and I know they made 9mm versions, and I think .45 ACP versions, too. Not sure about 10mm.

Also sometimes the higher priced guns are simply "Name Brand" equals plus $200 (Glock).
