I own a Hi Point and yes it has it flaws but I believe that it is an effective carry weapon– after you break it in. I listened to this podcast and the previous one. All I’m saying is that you’re entitled to your opinion. Hell.. I was ready to get a refund after I fired it the first time. But I gave the gun a second chance. I own a C9.. Would’ve rather a .40 or .45 as a SD gun but it was all I could’ve afford and I’ve made good what what I have. Point is that I have fell in love with Hp’s and I’m looking at upgrading.

Man, let me tell you that the banter between you and the GunDudes is great. I found them by accident, and they steered me to your show. Now I’m torn as to which one I like better. Great show! Now I’m going to go leave feedback on iTunes. Keep up the great work.

Good show, Eric! Here’s my personal datapoint. My first gun is a used SIG P-225. When I got it, it shot to the left of where the sights were pointed and there was certain ammo it choked on (namely Cor-bon–and it still does). Soon after the Kel-tec P-11 came out, I got one. It eats up everything I’ve ever fed it and comes back for more (especially that Cor-bon!). The bullets hit where the sights are and there’s something about that little bugger that makes it seem more accurate than it has any right to be. If I do my job, it does its job, period. The one thing I don’t like about the Kel-tec (and it would apply to Glocks as well) is that there is no external safety of any kind. So, if anything ever catches on the trigger (like a retention strap that gets inside the trigger guard when holstering), you get a ND (negligent discharge). Glocks always seemed awkward to me, so I’ve never bought one. That Glock torture test has me thinking, though…
