I just wanna do hoodrat stuff with my friends.

I collect them because people think they're offending me when they call them turds. I also have an impressive collection of Ravens and Tec-9's. I know they are garbage but when I look at them, they make me smile. I'd never use one for self defense.

Some of the more collectible antiques, china, etc. are what were then the cheaper stuff. Things like Staffordshire china which was produced for the working and middle classes. Less of the cheap stuff survives and thus becomes rare.

I was not trying to offend you, sounds like I didn't.
If they make you happy that's all that counts.

Not offended at all. Believe it or not, you're not the first to ask why. They're like a stamp collection I guess.

Yah, I collect Titan FIEs .25acp. Way back when I even carried one when I was in college and was not "allowed" to carry a gun on campus, until I got the Beretta .22. This was way before the days of better quality similar sized .380s.

Used to be able to get them for about $50. $150 now, but I sorta stopped at ten, and they've gotten way more scarce. Just my little FU to gun control to own some of the original "Saturday Night Specials." Back in the 90s you'd see them all the time for sale.

I've been collecting them for a few years and I've definitely seen the prices go up. Must mean I'm not the only one attracted to them.

I've never never picked up a hi point to look at. How do they feel in the hand? They look like 2x4's do they feel like them too?

Heavier and hurts worse when you get hit with one.

I would bet they are a most effective bludgeon.

Seriously how are the ergonomics?

For all the crap the gun gets, if you have big hands, it's not that bad. It's also not a bad shooter out to 25'. Because of the weight, the recoil is next to nothing.

That middle one looks like it was 3D printed in one piece.

I'll have to grope a few at the Seymour show.

It will grope you. It doesn't have to ask.

Well yeah it gets some crap. On its own merits but yeah, its ugly.

In the truth of this.....please do not shoot me with one as I know at least the 1st one is going to go.

They're almost the AK-47 of the pistol world when it comes to the amount of abuse they can take and still function.

haha..... a wiener! Love it

They don't fit bad in the hand are heavy, ugly and apparently reliable.

I have considered one to load with 9mm shot and use around the house/woods for a "snake" gun.

Need to put a sailboat-sized rudder on that thing to even out the top-heaviness, then it's gtg.
