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

Do not know anything about them but i did buy a taurus 9mm once for not more then that one in the papers that came with it it said target load only and if you pushed that little blade in the trigger even a little sideways it would not fire
