Concealability for sure, smaller guns allow "Deep Carry" which makes them almost completely undetectable in contrast to larger guns that print easily and require restricting your choice of clothing.
Rhett Neumayer (Demonstrated Concepts) and Tessa Booth have content about this topic on YouTube for those who are interested.
You'd think so, it's Illegal in both states lol
Not helpful if you have to pay in installments for something that costs $100. We all know there are better guns.
That'll depend on your state, firearms have to be shipped to an FFL holder and they will need to know beforehand and you'll need to pay them to do this. Some states are super restrictive and there is more you need to watch out for. I would not recommend cheapo semi auto shotguns for a number of reasons, a handgun that can be concealed is a far more effective self defense tool that will be there when you actually need it instead of home in your safe. Hi-point, PSA Dagger, or G43x in order of price point. A cheap handgun with an optic is better than an expensive gun with iron sights and a cheap gun that you can shoot 1000 rounds through is better than an expensive gun you can't afford to shoot.
I share your incredulity at the trade-in description, maybe it's to dodge MAP?
I found the hi-point to be soft shooting with 115gr, if a little slow to return due to the slide mass. I was able to hold the A-zone at 15 yards despite the sights. What parts are the most likely to wear and how many rounds do you have through it?
Congrats! I enjoyed shooting the Hi-point pistol, please let me know if you'd like any advice!
Dude, that was me until I started using the target focused technique that Hwansik Kim/Joel Park/Bn Steger use, complete gamechamger and really easy to do
Makes sense. I like use a Glock 43 with the short grip for a number of reasons, but I found the Shield Plus to be a lot softer shooting than the 43 for sure. I have really large hands so getting my support hand to connect to basically all carry guns is what I struggle with.
I love the M9, super underrated especially these days.
That's too bad. Is it your first handgun?
Tbh I think it was a way to skip the difficult process of designing a working detachable magazine
