Which gun should I buy(first time buyer)?

Question

I've decided to buy a gun this year and I've been doing a lot of research into which firearm to go with and my journey has lead me to a crossroads between a HI-point 9mm and a S&W SD9. I have been told that the HI-point is a cheap gun and I should stay away from it, though this is by people who are trying to get me to purchase the S&W which is more then twice the HI-point's price. I have seen just as many bad reviews for the HI-point as I have good ones and I'm really on the fence as to which one I should get. I've been told the S&W is reliable but as I said its twice the HI-points price. This is a case of savings vs reliability and I don't know which one to choose. I'm looking to people with Hi-point experience(either owner or have fired it multiple times) for advice on the decision. I will be making my purchase on the 15th. Also SD9VE owners/users please give your input.

The firearm will be used for personal defense if that helps.

Answer 1

I would highly suggest you go to a certified firearms course, this way you can get good information on what you would like best, and you will know much more about firearm. Now with that said.



Probably the most well known budget pistol on the market right now is the Smith and Wesson Sigma. In the 9ve 9mm configuration, this pistol can be had for less than $300 with currently available rebates. That leaves $100 which can be used to buy 500 rounds of practice ammunition or accessories like additional magazines and holsters. Of course the Sigma is not without its drawbacks – the trigger pull has been rated as “poor” by a number of reviewers who claim that it is nothing more than a poorly executed Glock knock-off. We feel the Sigma is a fine pistol for its price point, it certainly is reliable, but better options are available for our $400 budget.



One of the most popular budget pistols is probably the Ruger P95. The P95 is well known as a utilitarian pistol. There’s nothing fancy about it, it works reliably, and it’s easily serviceable. It also met his requirements for having an abundance of accessories and holsters available. We also looked briefly at the Ruger SR9, but decided that like the Sigma, the trigger pull was just too hard and gritty. Additionally, accessories for it were not widely available enough to seriously consider this pistol.



Kel-Tec has a number of reliable and inexpensive pistols, one of which is their new PF9 model. The PF9 is a compact and very slim pistol, perfect for concealed carry. The PF9 is very slim, at less than an inch thick. Despite its small size, it still packs a wallop with a 7+1 capacity of 9mm cartridges. The action is DAO and the trigger pull, while long, is smooth and consistent. The PF9 is also very inexpensive: MSRP is around $300, and it can often be found less than that. It may however be too small to use in competitions like IDPA, which the brother-in-law has expressed an interest in participating in.

I'd go along with the basic shotgun. Ideally a 12 gauge, however a wall of pellets is a wall of pellets. The satisfactory would be a pump action. When you get a plastic stock, maintenance would be easier and less weight. A shorter barrel gun is less difficult to maneuver within the tight corners of a residence, but a longer barrel is more correct at longer distances. Also, ammo is key. If you would like to discontinue crime with out blowing holes within the wall, rock salt shells can p.C. The discomfort of pellets with out the lethality or collateral injury. Slugs would certainly kill the man or woman, and could be extra accurate in case your had been capturing across the apartment. In the end, examine you local gun laws about this one. Most shotguns come out of the manufacturing facility ready to load one shell within the barrel and three in the magazine. Nevertheless, many manufacturers place a wooden dowel in the magazine to reduce the number of shells able to be held. Should you eliminated this (in some areas, that is illegal, so determine twice) you could retailer as much as eight shells. Removal is easy. This is the process as noticeable on my shotgun. It is going to range some, however the concept is the identical. Unscrew the nut on the end of the backside tube (the journal). This will loosen the barrel. Do away with the barrel so you readily have the motion and the journal. Tilt the gun down so the dowel slips out. Put gun collectively. Once more in some areas, this is unlawful. In Az, a shotgun can have not more than 4 shells within the gun at any given time. The last factor you need is to get in predicament with the law over gun laws. When the schumer hits the fan, you're going to be on the top of their watch list, which you do not want to have occur.
