Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.


Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?



Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

At a small auction recently the two long guns and one 22 pistol all went crazy high. Is it like that everywhere? I know any auction is a gamble as it only takes 2 bidders to create insanity, but I hope it's not always like that.

I've heard both good and bad about this gun maker.
Taurus. Ruger. KelTec. There are many affordable options that are NOT HiPoint. While I have never shot one, I was at the range with a guy and got to hold it and watch him shoot it. It feels like a toy gun, it jammed (no shit)9 out of 10 shots. I suppose it was accurate, but whatever. You can find used guns or even new from manufacturers like the ones above that are affordable and not shit. HiPoint is shit. JMO.

Check this out:

I also recommend the 9mm...cheap caliber to shoot.

What Munson said. I have never owned one, but I have had two friends that have and both were very unhappy. Both of those guys got rid of them.

This. I owned 2 of the Hi-Point 40s. One before the house fire and one after. Brand new, did not last 100 rounds. Started jamming and the top reciever bored into the bottom. I got rid of it and will not make the same mistake again. Next up will be a Glock 22 40 cal 4th gen.

I decided against the hipoint. I had watched some youtube reviews and one of them said they contacted the manufacturer and they fixed it no charge. But yeah, a gun that jams is a damn near useless gun.

I did end up going with the Taurus PT111 G2. DEGuns had it for $208.99 plus shipping which is a little high at $30. Still a decent deal.

I am a big fan of Ruger. Never had either of mine jam. But they are a little more expensive. I've fired Taurus 9mm in the past and they felt okay, but not as accurate as my Rugers. Still, a decent gun. And yeah, I like 9mm. I did check the pricing of 40 S&W and it was only a couple of cents more per round on Wikiarms.

I had a Ruger SR9 I believe it was called. Couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it. I figured I was a shitty shot. Tried a glock and shot just fine. Sold that Ruger pretty quick.

My Grandson was looking at different pistols (as his first) and he asked my advice. I asked him "what models do I use" and he said "Sig Sauer, HK, Walther and Springfield". and I said, "Then you have your answer".

Yes, they are more expensive, but I've always believed that "you get what you pay for".

On the other hand, my Wife carries a little Bersa Thunder .380 that she dearly loves. $300 and I promise you, that gun will kill someone just as dead as a $1,000 pistol.

A couple of things with this: IF the gun is going to be more of a 'toy' than an all purpose gun, then fine. BUT, the 40 SW is not the funnest round to shoot nor is the most affordable. I'd recommend going with a 9mm regardless of what you get. Personally, I owned a Hi-point and had NO issues with it and I know of others who have had good luck as well, but at the end of the day I didn't trust it. That being said, when I bought my daughter her first gun...I went with a Glock. No messing around. IF the situation arises where she HAS to shoot it at a bad guy it needs to be as close to 100% reliable as possible...Hi-point never gave me the feeling of reliability. My 2 cents.

Went out and shot my M1 Garand. Shot 48 rounds out of it with no issues. Sights needed adjusted but it was close enough. I love the ping sound when the clip ejected. My favorite gun I own.

Good choice. I've had a Taurus 24\7 compact in .45 for a couple of years now, great starter gun, and similar to the pt111.

Man, what happened to 7.62x54R? The lowest price is $0.37 / round. Last time I got it in bulk it was like $0.19.
