From my experience on hear there are few people who are friendly. most are dicks. I feel for you.
Buddy, I have a job in the medical field, a safe full of awesome guns, and a decent car, and a great dog.....and no one to share it with.
Thus I still don't have a tenth of what you do at the age of 19.
We all started off in the same position you are. Once the family grows up and your job situation and your wife's job situation improves, you'll move on to bigger/better firearms, and you'll realize that the quality of your new, expensive guns is better.
However that doesn't mean that the hipoint/keltec/whatever won't do the job if you consitently take care of them and assess them. If they work, then great. People who crap on you for that should be ignored.
Glad I got your attention friend. Are you gonna come onto a forum about guns and gripe about folks talking about guns also?
What type am I anyway?
See if you can't get out from under one if not both of your car payments. Save up that money for 6 months and buy a used car for $1,000.
Then, buy another one.
THEN, you'll have a lot more breathing room for your and your family.
That will buy you a lot more peace of mind than a firearm!
Hello INGOers.I have to rant about something because it is starting to bug me.First,I'll give some background on myself for those of you who don't visit my profile and maybe you can then understand where I'm coming from.
I am nineteen years old with a wife and infant son.I work nights as a custodian for $10.78 per hour and no benefits.I have two car payments per month along with various other bills.We literally live from paycheck to paycheck sometimes.My very first firearm that i could call "mine" was acquired at age eighteen and was a Cobra .32 semi auto.I had to save up for almost two months to get the $125 for my lifetime LTCH.
Now for the rant...
I am getting tired of reading posts from people being gun snobs.It seems like every time I jump on INGO,I run across a post saying that (insert name of any "affordable" firearm)s are junk.It used to make me feel inferior,now it just makes me angry because people such as myself are getting advice that they have to pay high prices for any good guns.Am I wrong for loving my Kel Tec,DPMS,Maverick,or my Remington?These guns were what I could come by and they all go bang every time that I pull the trigger.I'm now looking for an affordable .45 for carry and my best option,money wise,looks to be a Hi Point due to my financial situation.I have heard stories of Hi Points,Kel Tecs, and other lower-priced guns being junk.I have had great experiences with these "undesireable" guns.I've also heard horror stories about the almighty Glock but I still wouldn't mind having one.My own belief is this:a Hi Point in hand is better than a Kimber on the "SAVE FOR" list.Why do people have to talk so much crap about good guns just because they don't set you back $1000 when you get one?
Bring on the gun snobs...I wouldn't mind some friendly discussion either.
Ya I think this post says it all. Heck I have a kel-tec p-32 I shoot on occasion it works.Look into the thread where a guy dropped a $1200 Kimber and now it does not work.

Or the SIG 238 that will not feed ammo.

You buy and shoot what you can afford. Who cares about what others have to say.
Just say away from the Glocks, everybody knows those guys are a bunch of limp wrist-ed you know whats.
If you do have the money do not spend it on a Kimber.......
I had to do that, really.
