Not from what I've heard, unless you mod it

And if you can't spend much, why even get a 45, the ammo cost sucks

Guess I'll repeat myself. I dont shoot much. I'll rephrase myself. I don't want to spend high 3 or low 4 digits on a gun. There is always going to be a gun better than the other gun.

I have an sks. It shoots straight, does not jam, does not misfire, has gone up in value. I have a sigma 9mm. It shoots, goes bang, goes straight, does not jam, makes holes in targets, cleans easily. I have a cheapo Remington .22 rifle. It goes bang, does not jam, feeds fine. I have an AR, never been shot. I have a Hipoint 9mm carbine never been shot.

Nobody "needs" to spend a lot on a gun. There is a difference between "needed" to spend a certain amount and spending a certain amount because its a "luxury."

Let me check again..........Yup. No war outside. No zombies that I can see. Justin Bieber doesnt walk by and no drive-bys.


Ya'll do not understand. I am not a gun enthusiast. I don't shoot a gun and think of every single little problem. I make my self adjust to the weapon. If I don't like it then I'll see if modifying is worth the cost or I'll sell it off. Simple as that.

The only thing that will happen if you REALLY let your chain get loose is that it can come off, slide on the sprocket, slap the swing arm, stuff like that.
Not my bike man, I don't know what he meant by "dog". He is the one that told me it was running like shit, and when he got it replaced it ran noticibly better. Doubtful he meant horsepower, maybe application.

Anyone who owns more than 1 gun is pretty much an enthusiast IMO

I own them, but ever since I moved I dont really have a place to go shooting. Shooting at in indoor range gets boring. I haven't shot my sks in probably 5 years. Maybe even more.

You dont have to spend a lot on a 1911 that is good. That's been proven over and over. You spend your $1000 on a 1911 and I'll spend under $500 and we can both be happy. Why are you so high strung on me spending more than I want to? I like how you didnt give Corey any shit for buying a "cheap" gun.

i suggested a gun you'd really have to try to find priced over $400 and you started whinging on about price. thus the funny. i could care less what you buy.
