Long ago and sitting right here an unfortunate incident befell my shack, the bullet holes from 2006 are still there.
Friends pressured me to get at least a service auto. I had two revolvers, a .45 Colt N frame and a 1938 Colt new pocket, a Mossy.
I had been 'out of the trade' for six years due to injury, came on here and saw this angry thread bout Hi Point ( Maybe it was TFL? ). Anyway, I bought the nine and the .40 to take to the range and see if I really wanted a to get back into pistols. I'm of the one box a month LFI school of thought regarding self shuckers, but also love them for work.
Loved those little pigs. Getting them to feed hollowpoints took some polishing and bending of mag lips. I sold them and bought an XD Compact .45 that served me well until I ditched it for a Marlin 30/30 I wanted. The nine was a fun little 'woods' gun and in some places striped skunks are always in season and 9mm legal too.
Horrible looks, ergonomics were more horriblerer, and trigger was 'unique'. But if you nailed it down it would group with the cheapest ammo. Cleaning was unusually painful on re-assembly.
The .40 was just goofy and a really fun range gun. Not sure I'd love it if I had to carry it far. But off a table it was hard to beat for grins at the range or plinking.
The 9 was a two pound pig but small enough to pack.
Now I'm contemplating a Hi Point C-9 or if I can find one Yc-9 for a 'trainer' concerning new shooter. If they can learn to run that .... "YEET"
I've seen price points, and know there are 'better' guns for a few more dollars.
What is a step up from the duck decoy anchor boomrock for easy take down, but still very durable, accurate enough to shoot some kind of group off a rest at 50'? From personal experiences please.
