I'd luv to get one but ammo prices and wife may one day shoot it come in play here. You like Taurus though? I have no experience with them. I'd really want to get an H&K or a Kimber but they are out of my price range.tbrazzy-s3;224843 wrote:I'm a 44, long-barrel kind of guy. I love Taurus long-barreled 44's (44 Magnum, ie their Raging Bull model). They shoot great, recoil is a lot less than you'd think. Their pricing isn't too bad, tons of knockdown power if you're looking at "home-protection" and relatively affordable. If you want to stay with a 45 or 9mm due to ammo prices etc. That's up to you, and me. I'm not a Ruger fan at all.

No bashing on the Hi-point here. One of my first purchases was a Phoenix Arms HP25. I went to 3 gun shops trying to get one and the first two said they wouldn't even bother getting one for me. Thank you Kellers. But I had nothing but bad luck with the Millenium. Jammed constantly for me and eventually sold it at a gun show for way too cheap. Hell, the HP25 is one of two pistols I haven't sold...ever.tommygun89hb;224856 wrote:Ok my 2 sugestions one im going to get slammed for.
1. Hi-point 9mm or .45 Seriously i have the 9mm and i have seriously put thousands of rounds through it and have had no probs. They have night sights (other comp that is extra) No to mention the warrenty is incredable Life time no questions asked transferable warrenty(there have been stories of people running them over and sending it back and they rebuild it or give a new one.) I love mine!!!
price=====250 tops and that is with lazer site and everything.
2. Taurus millinem this gun manufature has come a long way in the past 10 years. The only thing i have found that if you have big hands I would recamend the extended clip otherwise your hand will get burnt or pinched by the slide.
thats just my .02

Taurus, I've probably put 500+ rounds through several Taurus and I love them. I don't get to shoot much anymore living in STL, but. they're one of my favorite shooting experiences. Most if not all of their barrels on the newer models are ported, leaving you with only a slight "hop" as a recoil. They make a 6.5 and an 8.5 inch barrel (give or take) as well as a snub-noze for several of the models I believe. And the 44.mag especially some of the custom rounds have some major knockdown power. Combine that with the accuracy afforded by the longer barrels, some guys use these things for close range deer-hunting. It's pretty impressive.Dabeastwthn;224844 wrote:I'd luv to get one but ammo prices and wife may one day shoot it come in play here. You like Taurus though? I have no experience with them.
