Where's the option for "Neither"?

"Cheap" and "SD" should not be combined.


If I had to go 'cheaper' ... I'd probably be heading straight for Charter Arms.

I know, I did give room for leverage.

TBS, I sometimes carry a $1100, $1200, or a $1600 gun by choice, but I'm happy to carry a $400 ADL. Heck, I don't mind carrying my cheap ($$) CZ52. They all go "BAG!" when I ask them to.

FYI "Neither" was not an option on this poll sr., but thank you for your participation.

BANG every time rules the school.
 
Millennium PT145 Pro.
I picked it up a couple of years ago with the express purpose of concealment and something in a cannon-size calibre.
As I have learned on these forums (thanks, guys), buying a concealed carry is alot like buying a house. The first purchase you learn what not to get. The second one you find what you really want in the item. By number three, you should have the purchase that you mean to keep for the rest of your days.
The PT145 was my first concealed carry firearm purchase. With a ten-round magazine and comfortable concealment at the small of my back (at five feet-six inches, that is a small back, unlike some of you behemoths that can easily pack a 1911), this has turned into one of my best buys in any category or subject. I like my cannon and fear no bad guys in my travels. Thank G-d and our forefathers for the Second Amendment.
Of the two, carry the weapon that gives you the greater confidence for self-defense.

Hi Point. I assume I would be buying either to use as a hammer so since the hi points are heavier they would drive a nail better.

:D

Plus my experience with Taurus guns have been bad.
 
Had a PT1911, it was great, I carried it. I spose their revolvers are good 'nuff too. Wouldnt touch any of their other semis with a 10ft pole though, wouldn't touch a HiPoint with a 20ft pole, they are IMHO a LoPoint in firearms design.
 
I own a Taurus revolver in .45acp with full moon clips - it has been a nice gun to shoot without any problems and I am more a traditional 1911 guy.
 
While I have never shot a Taurus, . . . I have a High Point, . . .

Since you put them together as choices, . . . I'd almost be willing to go for the "sharpened stick" option, . . . but you didn't allow it.

So, . . . reluctantly, . . . Taurus gets the nod, . . . only because for me the other is considered scrap metal.

May God bless,

Taurus makes some nice looking pistols, (I had a Judge). But I wouldn't spend the money on another Taurus and have to depend on their "lifetime warranty" to fix a broken gun.

Highpoint doesn't make "nice" looking guns. Having shot a number of Highpoint pistols and rifles (in several calibers) at the range, they all seemed to work as advertised and were surprisingly accurate.

That being said, I'd save some more money and get something else.
 
I have not heard stories of people sending defective hi-points to the manufacturer and waiting months to get a gun back where the problem was clearly not addressed and the firearm consistently had the same problem.
 
Even though I had a Taurus PT99 suffer from a bad failure of the locking block, I voted Taurus. But, I'd go with a Taurus .357 revolver over their semi-autos. Buying a Hi-Point is like marrying a woman you think is hideous looking.....even if she can clean and cook!
