I am assuming you could tell I did that on purpose. Not sure how much more obvious I could make the 's.

You'll love that your M&P Shield will require pretty much none of this. Yea, you can clean it. But I've seen the things run when they were caked in gun powder residue. When you buy quality, keeping it spotlessly clean isn't all that important.

---

I've noticed you talk about this a fair amount in both your posts and your videos. That many people over clean their guns, and modern guns don't need to be spotless. It will be nice having less effort in ownership. Except...I offered to clean the Hi-Point whenever he needed it. Sigh, oh well, at least that helped make the deal happen.

Not to be nitpicky, Mr. Clip. But the bullet was not struck by the firing pin. The round was, more specifically, the primer on that round.

Yes, I know. I really didn't feel like going out of my way to fix that, even though I realized what I was saying as I was typing. I just said screw it anyway. I had already written a novel at that point.

I have no clue what's going on with your Hi Point. It appears to be made by the same people who designed that safe.

Well that makes 2 of us.

In regards to the second part of your statement. I'm pretty sure I could walk in and take the job of the head engineer at the factory that made that safe. "I can't do trig, but I'll make for damn sure that the walls of your products are straight."

the ergonomics of that handgun are nowhere near modern standards. So while it was enjoyable, it wasn't nearly as easy to shoot as modern guns.

---

I am assuming you used this phrasing because of the other thread?

I could tell it wouldn't be very comfortable in the hand. It is a less ergonomic version of the 1911.

But it did have very little recoil. I'll give it that.

Was the lack of recoil because of the gun, or the round? Because the round itself seems like it would, as a previous poster stated, "pack a punch".


I tend to like antiques, and weapons that are at least a bit off the wall. This ticks off both boxes. Just so happens to tick off a third box I need right now, cheap.
