im looking for an inexpensive, roughly $300 9mm pistol that isnt a hi point.. one option is the star model B but is there anything else in this category to consider? and how reliable are these star pistols?
So which is it, dude?? You purport to be this all-knowing gun-guru in numerous threads, on multiple forums, and then turn around and start these threads asking for the most ridiculously basic advice imaginable, as though you're a teenager looking for his first gun.
You've done this many times that I'm aware of.
And if past history is any indication, you're still going to give detailed responses that shoot down nearly every piece of good advice you get.
From what I've read, you seem more than capable of answering your own question, already. You seem to have an affinity for starting threads that will predictably garner lots of repsonses, but then enjoy argumentatively dismissing all the good suggestions (already done it once). It shouldn't be long before you're posting stuff like, "what if I bought a so-and-so, and then re-barreled it, and then necked-down some so-and-so rounds....."?
And wouldn't a quick Google search will give you an idea of how reliable Star pistols are? The fact that you're even familiar with such a relatively obscure maker would seem to indicate more than a casual familiarity.
And what's with the hate-on for the Turks ?? The Canik's are solid pistols, from what I personally experienced and read. It ain't like you have a lot of options in this price range, if you want to avoid outright junk.
