Based on this thread from 2005 and pertaining to the acquisition of sub-$200.00 9mm autos. Now we have five years under our belt and a few more choices, so I'm wondering if the field has changed any. Some of the contingent mentioned were--
Hi-Point 9mm ...use oven mits when touching this topic
Makarov 9x18 ...seems well regarded
Star 9mm ...No longer supported for parts as I understand
Jimenez Arms ...Severe reliability issues noted
Bryco/Jenning ...Similar issues, re-branding?
Strikeout bbcode wouldn't work on those last two
So, what else? I know you'll want to spend a few extra dollars to get pistol 'x'. Please don't. Consider it a challenge to keep this under $200 Of course, if this thread is a tad redundant, you know what to do
