I suppose gun is better than no gun but then again maybe not

Have carried a Ruger LCP 380 for years as everyday carry, at times a colt 1911 commander 45ACP.

If a Hi-Point is my only choice, give me framing hammer instead.

Can't picture Dirty Harry using that gun

lol

I think the term that applies is "Saturday night special".

With regards to George Jones........with inflation........"I had one that was hotter than a $2 pistol......she was the fastest thing in town"

that was a song about a red head who was a pistol

Saturday night special definition became any gun with a low melting point alloy

it specifically targeted zinc alloy die cast pistol frames used by Rholm of West Germany , they could produce pistols that could be purchased for less than a tank of gas was costing that same week in history.

in 1967 a Rholm 22 revolver was 10 dollars , gas was about 50 cents a gallon with a 20 gallon tank you could fill the tank or buy the gun.

these days with so many polymer frame guns ,

my truck took $85 in gas last night and it wasn't even empty

I guess that basically is a Saturday night special
