My Hi Point 45 shot better than my Kimber does.......does the Kimber feel better? Sure......but the Hi Point worked, and was just as accurate or better. It never failed to function, nor did it require anywhere near the maintenance of the more expensive gun.....the only reason I got rid of it was the fact that I needed the money and it was just too heavy to OC with my back problems. For someone who is healthier or just looking for a home defense/truck gun/range gun, it shouldn't be an issue.

But hey, let's turn gun ownership into a "rich boys only" club, just like everything else.......:banghead:
I carry my hi-point .45 open and concealed it has never failed me ever . unlike some more expensive guns

:what: NO! you messed up man, you should have said you weren't happy with it, got the screaming deal on the Glock, then buy another Kel tec.


Then you would have a Glock and a Kel tec for the price of a Glock!
Why would I screw him over when he had just helped me? That's not very nice at all.

It's true, though I do know people who would have done exactly like I had said.

Those people are NOT my friends.

I got talked into buying a Kel-Tec by a gun store owner that I have known for a long time....

Don't get me wrong, I have 2 Glocks, will have my third by the end of the month, and I usually carry my Glock, but I have no problem strapping on the Kel-Tec.
What model Kel-Tec is it, and if the KT is that good for $200, why buy another Glock? Just wondering because officers in Milwaukee seem to have a habit of illegally confiscating guns and not returning them, so it's better to lose a $200 gun than a $600 gun.


P-11.

The Kel-Tec has become my mule. I usually only carry it when there is a chance it might get damaged, such as hiking, or if I want to completely conceal it.

Also, a "good $200.00 gun" is not the same as a good $450.00 gun.

Also, I like Glocks. I've got a 17 and a 22, and I am getting a 27.

Edit: Asa police officer, I can tell you that they cannot return your gun to you without a court order, and if you don't pettition the court to do so, your not going to get it back.
