    Most houses only give out little .22’s for Halloween, but go to the ritzy neighborhoods and you’ll get full sized DEagles and P-90s.

        I have a .45 Hi-Point carbine. Flawless operation, had never malfunctioned, weighs 10-pounds, impossible to clean. Along with other… odd design choices.

        Hi-Points are what you get by giving a group a very smart engineers a list of things the product needs to do. A group of engineers that has never seen an actual gun.

              Poor photographic skills. Were are the holed socks or bare feet in the picture? You need to either turn in your HiPoint or destroy that picture and take a proper photograph!

          I have a Sig Sauer p320, had to send it in to get the “drop issue” fixed. Doesn’t matter how much you spend, engineering failures are everywhere. Not so much a knock on Hi Point as the neighborhood is live in. The one I found discarded in my yard two years ago had been rusted to the point of being inoperable.

      Kids just primarily prefer a handgun cartridge that’s suitable for putting into a rifle for game hunting. It simplifies what sort of ammunition to carry in their backpack. .45 long colt or .357 magnum should do the trick. 10mm auto if you’re dead set on semiautomatic.

      clips.

      Magazines. Magazines include a feeding mechanism, usually a spring. Clips just hold bullets together.

            You missed my point. I own guns, know how to operate them, and know the names of the parts. I use magazine and clip interchangeably, because pointless pedantry doesn’t contribute anything to the conversation.

          No, you can have non-removable magazines. The tube in a pump-action shotgun is the magazine, but it’s definitely not a clip.

      Shooting guns at paper targets, sporting clays and other targets is tons of fun.i took my MIL to a quiet outdoor range to shoot for the first time in her life. A few months later she bought a Glock 17. Reduced capacity magazines because California, but she loves to go shooting.
