WTB cheap 9mm or .40 in baton rouge

beyond static · Feb 25, 2008

I'm looking for a cheap pistol (under $150) to bring with me on a trip next week so I don't have to worry about getting it stolen/confiscated from my luggage or hotel room. I don't want to chance it with my Glock.

Thanks
Kyle

where are you going that you have a fear of having it confiscated from your luggage or hotel room?

I dont fear it, just don't want to take a chance. I've read up on the laws on how to bring a gun when you fly commercially,but some airlines have different restrictions, and I also don't want to chance someone in the back looking through my luggage and stealing it. The same reason I wouldnt leave expensive jewelry or electronics in my luggage. Plus I want something cheap to keep in my truck.

i saw a little stubbed nose .38 the other day at a pawn shop for about that price, thats probably where you are going to have to look

Bayou Dragon shooting range in Crown Point still had a few S&W .38's for $150 + tax about 2 weeks ago.

you coulda had your pick of the litter of hi points and jiminez arms at the gonzales show last week.

I call dibs on your real guns when your saturday night special blows up in your hand :-D

Invest the $150 in a lock box for your truck and a pair of Smith & Wesson handcuffs. Cuff the pistol to the piping under the sink in the hotel. That's Massad Ayoob's technique.

if you want a "cheap" pistol you don't want an auto, too many ways for it to fail. Look for something like was mentioned above, an older S&W .38 - something beat up and ugly, but performs flawlessly. It will do everything you want it do and do it safely.

I vote for Hi-Point 9mm.

Thanks guys. I saw some of those high-points at the gun show a while back. They look like those $30 airsoft guns. lol I guess pawn shops will be my best bet. I just hate haggling with those guys
