I know this is probably going to start a flood of post slamming my suggestion but you can get a brand new 45 Hi-Point for less than $150.00 they have a lifetime warranty and shoot great right out of the box... the downside is they are a pain in the rear to break down far enough to clean properly, weapons are like cars if you maintain them right they are dependable... of course there are exceptions to every rule like the Jennings with guns and the Monza with cars.
don't get me wrong... I have many name brand weapons ie; Colt, S&W, Taurus, Rock Island, ect.ect but for the price and warranty I bought a 45 and 380 Hi-Point, put hundreds of rounds through both and had one jam in the 380 and none in the 45 ... but I do my own service, repair and tweaking on all my weapons... I guess it's a military belief that if you can't maintain a weapon properly you shouldn't have it anyway
Whatever else the Hi-point .45 may be, I don't see how it can be realistically considered a carry gun. The darned things are the size of my truck!
