In another thread I inquired about a FEG pistol I ran across thinking it might make a good "truck gun" beings all steel, 14+1 and @ $375.00 not terribly expensive. Anyway, will browsing Gander Mountains website I noticed Hi-Point pistols running under $200. I've got literally ammo cans full of 9x19 ball as well as .40 S&W reloads with 180gr XTP. I got the reloads in a trade deal with one of my coworkers, (experienced reloaded) but wasn't planning on running them through my G35 since I've got two S&W 10mm revolvers.
Was thinking a .40 S&W Hi-Point might be the ticket. Plenty of ammo, it seems like a pretty heavy duty piece though low capacity and the price is about what a smoker would spend on cigarettes in a month. Maybe I wouldn't use it for a "truck gun" but it might be fun to do a torture test with it. I'd clean it well when I brought it home but after that just shoot it and see how long it will run with little or no maintenance. Maybe run a bore snake through it after a range trip and a little lube on the rails but other wise just wipe it off and toss it back in the range bag until next time. I'd keep a running tally of the rounds fired, number and type and maybe keep one box set aside to check the accuracy every 250rds or so.
I've never even fired one let alone owned one but from what I've read I'd almost bet I end up cleaning it out of pure pity long before it would ever crap out due to any accumulation of gunk. Thoughts?
