I tried to suggest to Emily that she should have looked at the Taurus 24/7 Pro in .45... you can find those for about $250 used, and they are GREAT guns. 10 rounds, great single action trigger....
After saying all that, I hit enter, and was given a message that I was blocked from CC.... I just logged back on, and don't seem to be blocked now.... strange stuff going on. I think it's a communist plot..

It's all a conspiracy, everything.... *looks around suspiciously*
But actually I mostly bought the gun for my dad's sake. I'm really just holding it for him until he has a bit of money to throw around and pay me back. He had a 9mm Ruger P series, I think the P89 is what it's called. He doesn't like it, though. The Auto-decock makes him a bit too nervous. The HI-point does work great, though. It's no less ugly, but it has my respect. The next gun I buy is going to be either a conceal or a .44 Mag. But seeing how .44s are so expensive, and seeing how I'm still in pain from my last bullet -buying spree, that's not going to be for a good while.

I am with YIG.... I have a friend that has a Henry .22... and he loves it. I've read nothing but positive about the .22's....
I think I may have read about some issues with their centerfires, but I can't remember exactly what the issue was..
and, Emily... I've read LOTS of good reviews on the HiPoint.... good to pretty good accuracy, excellent reliability... the only negative I've read (other than the whole "ugly" thing, of course
) is that they are an absolute bear to take down for cleaning. Most owners talk about dunking the whole gun in a bucket of solvent and blowing it dry with compressed air....
I came very close to buying one of their carbines, but they only have a 10 round mag... if they correct that issue, I'll likely buy one.

I, also, love leverguns. The last one I had was a Marlin in .45-70. It was a great gun, but it was more than I needed. Casting bullets for it depleted my supply of lead alloy pretty quickly...
It was fun to shoot, though. I'm going to get an older, used Marlin 336 in 30-30 someday soon. I "need" another one. I've owned two or three of them over the years, but traded them off for one thing or another. It would be an excellent "urban" type firearm if a future tyrant outlaws evil black rifles.....which appears to be highly likely.
