Re: need an inexpensive carry gun There's a Tangfolio .380 on The Outdoors Trader for $250. I started to say there was a PF9 for $250 on GAGunSwap, but I see that it's in SE GA.
Re: need an inexpensive carry gun I will have to tell you that I had a Hi-Point and it may not of been the best looking/light gun however it shot well and accurate and Hi-Point is very good on customer service and backing the product. It is a gun you need to try before you buy into the negative. Judge for yourself first. Oh and for the cheap price you really cannot beat it.
Re: need an inexpensive carry gun Don't get in a hurry! I'm sure you have some long-guns at home. Many of us would be willing to loan a piece until you get back on your feet. I have a Taurus Slim 709, but you're a little far away.
Re: need an inexpensive carry gun i'm fine. no totally defenseless. i'll find something in the 200-250 range. nice of you to offer tho.
Re: need an inexpensive carry gun High Points come with a transferable lifetime warranty. I've read several posts that have nothing but good to say about them. Maybe in their early days they were trash, but no longer.

Re: need an inexpensive carry gun I, recently, loaned another forum member a gun while he is in a jamb. +1 to the good folks on here. Some of the best.
Re: need an inexpensive carry gun CDNN.com: $247.17 shipped, or less, for a Kel-tec PF-9. Ship it to an FFL without a transfer fee, such as Cherokee Gun and Pawn. I see no reason to go under 9mm/.38 in caliber. Since shooting and carrying my PF-9, the bar's height is raised, as far as I'm concerned. You get three for one PF-9s to Kahr PM-9s, and it's just as accurate, and more reliable from my experience.
Re: need an inexpensive carry gun My wife thought she was doing me a favor and bought a Hi-Point 40. I wanted to throw it away, but luckily I shot it first and didn't buy into all the things I've read over the years. That thing has shot everything I've put in it! Even ammo my former USP and current XD didn't like. It will never win a beauty contest and when the magazines are new, they are crap. After breaking them in, the gun is nice. In the end, I have a very cheap, very reliable gun that cost about the same as my new arrow rest for my bow. ***EDIT*** The only thing I really don't like is that they have a proprietary mount system that needs an adapter to fit anything on it. Dumb, dumb, dumb, IMHO.
