What do you need to do with the pistol, that could be a factor in whether or no a hi point is what you really need.

yea much better option would be to spend a little more for that the better options, personally have owned a sigma, never failed me. granted a hi-point more than likely will not explode like most may say, but the parts and materials used are probably not the greatest and a simple drop or hot load could damage some parts. i guess if its your only option its better than nothing??this. $100 more and you could get a used Ruger P95 or a Sigma

You've answered your own question. Don't go to show planning to BUY, go planning to learn. Try to get someone knowledgeable to join you. Handle as many guns as possible. Write down notes if needed as soon as you put a gun down. When all is said and done, try to borrow/rent the gun(s) before buying.Thanks for the advice. I was thinking getting a cheapy for protection until we can save enough for a quality pistol. There are shooting ranges all around me and the G friend just got CHL. The shows are so overwhelming. If you have a little time can you clue me in on balance, weight, trigger, and ergonomics, or give me a good site to study it. Thanks

That helps alot, The trigger is a sticking point for me. I was wondering to get one with long trigger pull no safety or one with safety and short trigger pull. Seems to me like shorter trigger pull would be better for accuracy. Also didnt realize that most of the weight was in slide because I have never had a SA apart. So I guess polymer is the way to go for balance. I am really liking the fixed barrel idea, but most of them are way out of my price range, Like the Desert Eagle that would be a dream gun.
Depending on what caliber you are shooting, a couple of boxes of fifty is that extra $100 that can get you a better gun. A bit of an exaggeration I know but its amazing how fast you can save up another couple hundred dollars if you cut back on a few things for awhile. Don't eat out as much, don't buy that coffee one morning, go to one less movie...you get the point.Yes, I know you are right about the Hi Point but need protection now. Crime in Houston is really getting bad, plus I just love to target practice. Nothing better than to burn a box of fifty up. I have been studying for about 3 mos now been to 4 gun shows and many gun rentals, but am still learning. The 38 is fun but I like to have a SA also.
