I'm ready to add to the collection. I'm torn between something like a cx4 storm, and a 5.7 semi auto pistol. Any thoughts?
Yes, the Five-Seven. A friend has one, and its awesome to shoot. I do agree that more range time would be a plus. I already own a 9mm, so I'm pretty stocked on ammo.texaswoodworker said:Are you talking about the FN Five-Seven for the pistol? 5.7 ammo is expensive, and would have to be ordered, but from what I've seen, a lot of the people who actually get the FN love it.
The 9mm would be more economical, and allow for more range time. I don't know anything about the gun itself though.
Op was considering a carbine, not a pistoldsheppard said:Yes but the reason high point pistols are cheap is because they r cheaply made. They r like a club and good thing because they jam and break so often that's what ure have to use it.for
Now you are talking. AR 15's are being proven as a good HD choice these days. I never considered it due to shooting though a couple of houses but have seen some testing and studies lately to the contrary and on some of the more technical forums than this one it is all the rage. Look into it , you will be surprised at the effectiveness and under penetration on hard surroundings....that being said it’s not my go to but it is in the mix now. Way more versatile than the pistol cal carbines for roughly the same money.I looked at the M4A1. A nice weapon at a decent price also. So many choices!!
Very good points, but after one shot inside in low light and you'll be temporarily deaf and blind. The deaf part might be mote permanent, too. That effect from a pistol caliber carbine is way less.oli700 said:Now you are talking. AR 15's are being proven as a good HD choice these days.

I'll buy that, as far as muzzle flash, the sound part is low on my personal list in that situation but it might be a consideration for others.Very good points, but after one shot inside in low light and you'll be temporarily deaf and blind.

Ok I misread the op post but I've known a few guys with those high point rifles and almost bought one myself and after the first couple of hundred rounds they started malfunctioningprimer1 said:Op was considering a carbine, not a pistol
