OK, John let's see the 10" Barreled. AR-15, the vaunted Phoenix Arms HP .22, and the Star 9MM. All chopped, with a can. Don't spout some convict BS about why you can't, call them your wife's, (if you really have one), or say it's a friend's collection. Show proof.

Ah. Different 'John'.

(Although I do own a CAR-15 and a "can". Omigosh, I also own an HP-22, although it was bought out of curiosity and sees little use. I also own a "Stallard" [think "Hi-Point"] .45 blowback pistol and a Davis .32 derringer. Frankly, those are the "bought out of curiosity, and at very little cost" guns. Haven't shot the Stallard since 1994 probably; it just sits at the back of the safe. Never use it, but couldn't sell it for anything, so it sits there like a nerd on prom night.)

I remember the Stallard. I'd almost rather be armed with a brick.

Oh you mean this ain't about the battery that got stolen out of his vehicle while he was sleeping in it? :laugh01:

Much different. Stallard? I don't know this one at all. I would like to see a picture of it. There's nothing wrong with inexpensive gun's, I own some myself, I just wouldn't use them for self defense. The Tokarev, Makarov and Taurus line are inexpensive, but those I Would use for self defense.

Stallard- Imagine a Jennings scaled up to shoot .45ACP with a black semi-crinkle finish.

Best way to describe one IIRC.

Exactly. They're now (or at least 'were' at one time) renamed "High-Point". It's a fixed-barrel, blowback operated pistol a la Jennings, Raven, etc., except the size of a 1911. Slightly larger (mainly thicker) than a 1911, due to extra mass needed on a blowback.

Hi-Point may have also been connected with Lorcin; not sure about that.

IIRC, I read once long ago that most of these companies were owned individually by members of one family. I don't know the details though.
