[QUOTE="RKM, post: 1833089, member: 552"] Step on some toes? The Kimber comparsion is to prove that high end guns fail as much as the "cheap" weapons. There have been plenty of guns listed for around $200 dollars that I would feel more than comfortable with. Hi Points.....owned half a dozen over the years...all shot, fed and ejected fine. Colts....have them too, mostly safe queens....my nightstand gun....Glock 33. If I didn't have any, I would feel comfortable with a Hi Point or the CZ. I gunsmithed for years so I have seen the failure rate in some of the high end guns that came through our shop. I've seen crap workmanship in Smiths, Colts, Springfield and Kimbers, work so bad I would consider them "junk". As for recomendations....there seem to be plenty from other members....it's the gun snobbery I have a problem with. Like I said....a budget is a budget. If two bills is all you have there are still some reliable guns out there. [/QUOTE]
