Protecting Yourself On The Cheap


This thread is dedicated to cheap forms of personal protection. I hope that you find it useful!

We'll start with cheap firearms. You can usually find some cheap used guns at your local pawn shop. But if you want to buy new, you still
have several choices that won't break the bank, such as Hi-Point, which are made in America and have a lifetime warranty.

ACP, with an 8+1 capacity, a 3.5" barrel and weighs 29 ounces unloaded. It has a
MSRP of $179 USD.


Hi-Point also offers a 10-round OEM magazine, ProMag makes a 15-round after-
