Are Hi-Point Guns good?

Don't do it!

Correct

If that's what you can afford or want to spend on a pistol, go for it. But they do have much better guns out there on the market.

entry level gun...not the best, but if you aren't going to shoot a whole lot, it is more than adequate...

as far as caliber....40 is pretty large, but would certainly kill any coon, possum, or robber that should make a nuisance of himself...

On par with an XD...

Do yourself a favor and save up another $100 and buy yourself a nice piece--something youll be proud of and pass down to your children.

First and foremost, I would suggest you get some formal handgun training. Even if you've hunted with a rifle or shotgun, a handgun takes an extra level of safety since it is so much more compact.

Yep. Legal to conceal carry without a permit for military, so that will factor into my decision.

So you want something exclusively for home? Or something you can also carry?

I think one of the best full sized budget guns on the market is the Ruger 9E. It is built just like the successful SR9 but costs them less money to make and comes with one magazine.



Another excellent choice is the Kanik CW9. It's a single stack gun (fewer rounds in the magazine) but reasonably priced at around $350 just like that Ruger^.

In my profesional opinion do not buy that trash, go for the Taurus linked above. It's a better built gun by far, unless you plan on doing some drive byes, then defiantly go for the hi point. More street cred that way, just make sure to cant it full tilt.
