Sorry, I thought that was funny.Seriously though I am wondering if I chose the wrong firearm. The info I have researched say good things about the ppk but its either love it or hate it with experiences people have had.

The 380 is starting to show up again,, been told places have it as I've been thinking about a .380 pocket pistol and I've been asking about it..
I've never understood people asking "What should I Buy?" on the internet. There is no way anybody can answer that question in a relevant manner. Asking about quality or availability is one thing but asking what is right for you in particular seems a stretch.
Bottom line is go to the shops and hold the different guns and see what feels good in your hand. Make your choice and pay your money. Then take the gun to the range and see what you think. If you like it, who cares what anybody else thinks. If you don't like it, who cares if everybody else likes it, sell it and try again. It's all part of the game.

Hi Thanks, i just joined today so I couldnt reply by PM sorry.If the remington jhp are still available in two weeks I will be interested.Funds low right now. Thanks again.Debbie
no? you dont like the tokarev? too thin? i think its kinda cute...in a "i like gremlins" sorta way... you know, a 1911 would be that sexy girl youre really into that you make love to with the lights on, whereas the tokarev would be her very, not so sexy sister you would have to nail with the lights off...well maybe not that bad... but from what i could see and feel from the one i handled, its just a tad bit thin. i like the weight of it.
and you say im pretty much near all the deals? well i must be looking in all the wrong places lol oh well...im sure when its my time for all to go well, it will happen.
my budget, depending on how a few musical collabs go, will be anywhere from $250 to $2,500...
maybe i'll ask my cousin since he's a cop he should know if there are anymore "Lethal Lou's" type pawn shops around here...
i was gonna call Lou's on 69th street but i remembered hearing/reading they lost their FFL for numerous reasons...
rkrcpa also i don't ever remember, not at one point in any sentence ive written, asking "what gun should i buy?" was that aimed towards me? you know...that whole little rant? because at the time of the first post i wasnt old enough to buy a handgun and i asked for opinions about the price and suggestions for places to get deals...oh and i just remembered an error from my first post, old odd and otherwise is in ridley? right? lol...but anyway, dude, its gonna happen...i thought that was the purpose of the forums, for unsure ppl to ask questions andsure ppl to answer...experienced help the inexperienced...although i do kinda see where you are coming from...
I do not think Pawn Shops sell guns in PA. . .
Spend the money a buy a quality gun. Quit looking at the price tag first. Look for a firearm that has a wide following and a history of reliability.
There are many to choose from. Hi Point and old tokarev's are not the path to a great gun.
You know, the funny thing is, as 'rare' as .380 is right now, I've always managed to get it; sometimes it was easier to find than my .45!
I have beat the living snot out of 3 hi-point .380s (and others) they are cheap, ugly as sin, accurate, and if cared for, they will go bang every time; if you get one that doesn't, you send it back to Hi-Point, and it will come back practically blueprinted (with a free mag, to boot!)
I've had a $1500 Kimber have to go back, so it happens.
A handgun is a tool; a $10 hammer from Harbor freight can do the same job as the $50 Craftsman from Sears, or the $75 Snap-on. The fit and finish may be better on the more expensive pieces, but they all do essentially the same job.
Most of the people that bash Hi Points have never actually seen one in person, let alone fired them.
On the other hand, the fact that you need a hockey puck, hammer, and punch to clean one...
I just read a review in a gun mag yesterday that compared 380s. The author grudingly conceded the highpoint 380 was reliable (at least the one he tested), and more accurate than most of the other 380's (because it's so dam big). IMHO, that is alot of size and weight for a small caliber. I was looking at getting a Kel Tec P3-AT, but I have since decided to go bigger (9mm). More stopping power, more readily available ammo.
