man I wanted that thing to be good but yikes

You feel two clicks as you reset the trigger in the Curve. The first click is rather short, while the second click is out at the full reset length of the trigger. In order to fire a second round, you need to release the trigger all the way out to that second click. If you only release the trigger as far as that first shorter click and pull again, the gun won’t fire. At this point even if you fully release the trigger and try again, the gun will still refuse to fire until you…cycle the action.

don't they buy hi points because they're throwaway guns?

Hi Point, Lorcin, Phoenix Arms, etc. are all disposable Saturday night specials. Anyone who makes fun of criminals for using them has no idea about guns.

when i engage in illicit criminal activity that may require me to shoot someone I always use my super-expensive heavily customized firearms and i also handload all my own rounds and engrave my initials on all the brass as my calling card because thats what a pro does

Nah, criminals are the only group that should have them. It's people who show up to the range and post all over forums about mods for them when you start making jokes

Save another $150 and get a Bersa, at least have a little dignity. Looks better in the evidence pics too. Hell even a SCCY would be better.

nah the sccy is straight unmitigated garbage. keltec is prolly a better comparison to a hipoint, except the keltec actually works pretty reliably*

quote:

Reginald Gildersleeve walked into a Chicago store Saturday night, wearing a mask, brandished a gun, pointed it at a worker and forced her to the back of the store, and announced his intention to rob the place, police say. That's when another customer, who has a concealed-carry license, confronted Gildersleeve, took out his own gun, and fired several times, killing the 55-year-old robbery suspect, authorities say. It turns out Gildersleeve was only brandishing a fake gun at the time, but police say the investigation is almost finished and charges against the man who shot him are not likely, the Chicago Tribunereports. Gildersleeve's gun has been variously reported to have been a paint gun, a toy gun, and a paintball gun.

Gildersleeve's stepson isn't happy, noting that his stepdad "doesn't even own a gun. He couldn't own a gun if he wanted to" and questioning the actions of the man who shot him. "Some people don't actually know how to use guns. They go to firing ranges, but it's not the same as a bullet going into someone's body, it's not the same as a bullet going into flesh. They should be able to wound first, kill next. He didn't deserve to get shot multiple times," the stepson says. "You just took a brother, you just took a father from a lot of people. Somebody's got to answer for that." But "we're looking at it as a self-defense issue at this point," a police spokesperson tells the AP. "You have situations like this," in which no one else was hurt, "and you have situations that end tragically. The department is not going to advocate for what people should or shouldn't do."


this wouldn't have happened if the robber had a gun, another sad day for america

Shoot to wound is a really bad tactic at someone who also has a gun, that kid will never be a high speed tactical operator!

how do they work?
Anyone who advocates "shoot to wound" is a loving moron who would probably scream at seeing a bullet in real life.
