Quick handgun choice poll!

[dice dealer]

Both are $200.

The S&W without a doubt ....not knocking the High point ..

But for $200 you can probably get that back out of the Smith ...you will never get that out of the High Point ....

If you will never sell Either ...the choice is yours ...

Good luck

Don't know what the smith would cost but:

Hi Point 34510 HI-PT 45ACP Poly 4.5 9RD

 

[LPMan59]

hi-point vs Smith wheel gun? seems like a no-brainer to me.

 

[BowhuntnHoosier]

Definately S&W .38 for me and my family.

 

[Scorpsfan]

The 38 revolver, easy to learn, easy to use, if necessary.

 

[gloxrok]

Which would you trust your life with?

 

[Hoosier8]

A chrome S&W 38 at 80% is going to be worth about the same as the HiPoint and may not increase that much in price, so for me that would mean what would I want to have in the house.

My thinking is that if I wanted an HD gun or a truck gun eventually, I would go for the HiPoint.

 

[Kase]

I would try your hardest to get him to bring the price down on the hi point, and by it. Offer him $150

 

[ThrottleJockey]

I won't conduct business with family. I have NO problems with hi point, but that revolver sounds like it has the potential to be a far better investment. If strictly for HD, go with the hi point but if any return is ever expected go with the smith.

Without a doubt, the S&W .38.

The Hi-Point isn't even worth $200 NEW, let alone used. I'd never trust my home defense to a pot metal blowback pistol with finicky magazines over a proven handgun like a S&W revolver in good working order, for the same money.

I've got 2 S&W model 10 revolvers that were both made in the 1940's, and I'd trust them to do the job way before any of the cheaply made semiauto pistols on the market. .38 is plenty powerful enough for self defense, and has put a lot of bad guys in the dirt.

Hi-Points are about $150 - $170 brand new.

You can pretty much bet on getting your $200 out of the S&W if you decide to sell it later.

I will disagree. A chromed 38 at 80 percent is only worth about $150.

I'd rather have the S&W revolver that I would trust than the Hi-Point since I think I would have a hard time having faith in it, even though I like the .45 round better than the .38.

 

[Kick]

I would go with the .38. It wouldn't be my first choice but, reliability is the issue. You simply cannot beat a wheel gun!

 

[randyb]

.38

 

[12many]

hard to turn down any old S&W

 

[spitfire51]

Take the revolver

 

[KAS]

Revolver reliability - I vote for the .38

[Firstshot1]

The 45 is the way to go.

 

[686 Shooter]

I vote that you take the Hi Point and sell me the S&W.
