At least he didn't buy a hi-point

At least hi points are made in America

Cool story, bro!
You convinced me to to buy this?

>>34342365
My first handgun was an XD40 subcompact that lived its beginning days in the Springfield custom shop.

Thing shoots like a laser, even with a 3" barrel.

Would I have gotten a .40 today? Nope. But was it good in 2011/2012? Fuck yeah it was. I could find ammo cheaper than 9mm for a while.

>>34342365
Why are .40 guns so cheap? Is it cause everyone just goes for 9mm or 45?

>>34342365
>he bought a gun

Be happy you stuck up piece of trash

>>34342646
Yup

>>34342646
Because .40 Swishers and Welfare is a cartridge no one asked for that was supposed to combine the best of 9mm and 10mm but just inherited the worst qualities of each

Is this foreal? I never knew the hipoint pres was so pro-2A. Maybe they should make a more quality firearm, they might have somethin goin on there.

Your buddy isn't a high speed low drag operator like you. I'm sure a XD is fine first gun for him. Why not just be happy he went from no guns to has gun(s) you fucking piece of shit.

Commiforniafag here. Thanks to the Handgun Roster I ended up buying an XD45 and it honestly shoots just awful. I seriously can't wait until I can buy a Glock.

My cousin's first was a full size Taurus judge, he was really eager and I must confess it was fun as hell to shoot.

>>34342952

He could have done worse but damn I wouldn't want that as a first gun, or to practice with, or for home defence but good on him for getting something. Even his lib wife likes it so seems like only good came from it

>>34342365

Why do new guns always buy XD or an M&P40? What attracts them?

>>34343312

Great CC but he doesn't sound like the type to do it. It being small might have made his girl less afraid of it so it'll be better than her making him get rid of the only gun in the house because it's big and scary.

If you can talk him into shooting, explain the G43's niche and why his groups aren't as nice as when from a full size due to the sight radius. Maybe explain that it might be a good thing still for his girl and he wont sell it but get another and consider CCing.

>>34343674
They're cheap. I feel like at least the least bit of research would know not to buy one.
Truthfully don't blame my buddy. It's his first gun. Heck, he might actually shoot well with it.

>>34344160
Anyone who did the least bit of research***

kek I don't even own an XD, dipshit. But nice try.

This, OP.

I can get being grossed out, I'm like that when people I know buy Glocks, but to make an entire thread shaming your anonymous friend is pretty dumb.

>>34343740
I agree on all points. I was planning to bring my cz 75 and 83 when we do a range trip. I want them to feel the difference between a polymer striker fire and an all steel hammer fired compact. The 83 has an excellent single action and the weight makes .380 recoil negligible making it a perfect introductory practice gun for both of them. The 75 might be a bit too big and heavy for his wife (the beast is 3lbs with a 18 round mag) but I hope to show my friend the benefits a full size has. I think they're kinda against ccing right now but it may be that they're just not comfortable enough around guns yet but hopefully after I teach them some things and help them explore their options theyll look into it

>Swishers and Welfare

>>34342863
Read about him. He openly admits to not caring about trying to build the best gun out there, because everyone else is already trying to do that.

Instead, he's trying to build a gun that's "good enough" as cheaply as humanly possible so that even the most cash-strapped can buy his pistols or rifles and adequately arm themselves.

It's literally the 1930's Volkswagen concept applied to firearms.

>>34342646
Because it's not a Mosin conceal carry.

>>34342436
Hi-Points are to guns what Charles Shaw is to wine: They're far from the best, but they're perfectly serviceable guns that sell for so little that you can buy two or three for the price of every other legitimate manufacturers "cheap" gun.

Everybody should own at least one Hi Point, just because.

Not really, theyre <$400 here and there's plenty of other compacts that are a lot less than that. He could have been like every other poorfag and bought a sd9 or Taurus.

Jesus maybe you should at least try to explain to the guy that guns are not toys

>>34342863
There's really nothing wrong with the hipoint, except some magazine issues perhaps

It's not meant to win any awards, it's just meant to be cheap and simple

>>34342646

Nobody (well, nobody sane) likes them, Anon. So manufacturers keep reducing prices trying to get suckers to buy them.
It's a solution in search of a problem, and everybody just buys 9mm or whatever.
