I know I’m probably going to really get in the neck for this, but I promise it’s the last you’ll hear from me about Hi Points. I’m now convinced they’re such a terrible gun, I won’t mention them again. You can hear the full review this episode, and see the videos on YouTube, on the website, or at the GRRN forums. I also cover some news, and question why Eric Holder wants the “Assault Weapons” banned from law-abaiding Americans… to protect Mexican citizens? This show went quicker than I thought, but I hope you all enjoy.

I’m still mad they’re dropping charges on a terrorist

We’ll ban our guns… to help Mexico?!?!  WTF?!?!

Uncle tracks stories about guns and Mexico…

Mexico’s problems are all our fault? What about their deserters?

LA Times is actually telling the truth about the issue

And my Hi Point reviews, which are sure to increase my hate mail.

I took a lot of heat for some things I said about Hi-Point pistols back in Episode 25, and some criticisms were right on. Now while my opinion of Hi-Points stands, I did reconsider some things, sorted out why I feel the way I do, etc. But really, the most important things are… First, realize that my opinions are NOT a review and that my opinion isn’t worth any more than somebody else’s. We all know what opinions are like, and everybody’s got one, right along with two knees, etc. Second, if a Hi-Point is your pistol of choice, that’s ok. They work just fine, which is the most important feature of a defense firearm, and by all accounts they are accurate enough for self defense purposes.

Remember, I love to talk about the difference between theoretical and practical accuracy, and the latter is far more important.

Aside from that, I talk about the Mateba Auto-Revolver, some gunsmithing I had done on my carry pistol, cleaning vs. maintenance, and then I wax philosophic on what a pistol starts life as and becomes in our hands.

This episode wanders all over the place, from customer service satisfaction with Kimber, to the handgun I truly loathe.  I also spend some time thanking all the listeners for taking responsibility for themselves and joining the NRA.  Finally, 3 handguns I think would work well for a left-handed shooter, and all at different price points.
