Abdullah the Butcher Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'm thinking of getting a cheap pistol now that some fuckwad has been getting into my apartment. I can't afford a more expensive one but I've been reading up on the Cobras and generally they had good reviews. Most people said you have to break them in, tend to jam at first. Does anyone thoughts on these? http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/12/jeremy-s/gun-review-cobra-ca380-cheapest-handgun-america/ Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I don't know much about the Cobra's but if you want cheap reliability it's tough to beat Hi-Point. They're clunky, they're heavy, they're ugly . . . BUT they go bang every time you pull the trigger. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/21_268/Hi-Point+Firearms/ Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If you want a cheap, reliable pistol you could get a used revolver of some sort. But if you're not set on a pistol and just want something cheap for home defense purposes you might consider buying a little 20 gauge pump action shotgun with a short (but legal) barrel. They're pretty small; you could easily tuck it under your bed. And you probly wouldn't even need to fire a shot if someone breaks in. The pump action sound of chambering a shell will scare the sh#t out of anyone in your place. 1 Quote Link to comment

C N Red Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hey, dirtbag. You're a lousy shot. I don't like lousy shots. You wasted a kid. You ain't nothin'. Now I think it's time to waste you. You're the disease... and I'm the cure. Can't do that, I don't deal with psychos...i put em away Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Never worried about having a gun before, but a break in makes you a little paranoid. Still thinking it over whether or not to buy one. Quote Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Why not just buy a baseball bat? That way if you miss the bullet doesn't go through the wall and maybe kill your neighbor. T_O_B Quote Link to comment
