[QUOTE="ttowncrimefighter, post: 1833816, member: 11198"] Im sure it's been said already but I guess I missed it..... Regardint the High Point: If I were faced with owning no guns whatsoever or a HighPoint, I'd go with the High Point. I've owned lots of handguns and everyone of them has failed to fire or eject or feed at some point in my ownership of them. I've never owned a High Point but I've had Glocks, Rugers, Smiths, a Springfield and two Kel-Tecs. If you shoot enough, eventually there will be a failure whether it be a defect of the weapon or the ammunition. They are ALL capable of failure. I took an advanced handgun course at a very well respected local training facility a few years ago. When we all arrived on the first day of the course, one of the participants showed up with a High Point 45 ACP. His weapon didn't just make it through the course in which we fired close to 700 rounds, but it never failed as far as I ever saw and he was one of the more competent shooters in the course. My Glock never failed me either but my Glock cost 3 times what his High Point did. I heard lots of comments, not just from shooters but from instructors during the course about the fellows choice in firearms but what it all boils down to is what your comfortable with and what you can afford. I have an AR15 I built from a Blackthorn kit and a cheap lower from a gun show.

My point is, gun snobbery is one of those things that I've never understood but it always seems to exist. Guys that berate cheap guns that they've never heald in their hands and fired (or fired enough to actually form an opinion) are kind of like high school girls making fun of the girl in the wal mart clothes.
