For a pistol in the ~$100 price range the hi-point sure gets a lot of !@#$ for how well it actually works, functions, and is supported by it's manufacturer.

Got a Glock 17 on a trade a few weeks ago and my jaw literally dropped the first time I shot it. I could not believe how well it shot.

Squirrels are always in season.....especially when they're chewing holes in your sofit! :evil:

I don't know the statute number, but MN law states that squirrels may be trapped and killed, poisoned, or taken by other legal means (NO firearms within city limits...Dang!) when they are found destroying property.

Personally, I would like to see GLOCK come out with a polymer-frame 1911, for no other reason that it would be entertaining to see large portions of the internet go up in flames...... :twisted:

The two squirrels were taken by other means, but roasted up wonderfully.

Was over at Metro and a couple of reps from Coonan were testing a 357mag/1911. They let me run about 20 rounds through it. Nice gun now it has to go on my want list. Very accurate with a smooth trigger.
