What uses do you need for SD? Shotguns excel at the only legitimate one, which is to render an assailant unwilling to or incapable of continuing to present a threat.flechero wrote:Plus for a single gun owner, the shotgun limits you on SD uses.

Re: Should I recommend a Hi Point?
That's another useful point; if you spend $200 on a used 870, you can almost certainly sell it for $200 later if you need the money in a hurry.drjoker wrote:Hi Points have terrible resale value, so they make terrible investments. If you buy a Hi Point from Cabela's for $190, I'll bet you'll be lucky if you get $50-90 for it if you sell it. Aside from Cabela's, I've never seen anyone sell a Hi Point. That's over a 50% financial loss. However, if you buy a KelTec from someone on the forum for $200, I'll be you can sell it for $200 later if you need cash. That's a good investment. You get self-defense for free (you're selling at the same price that you bought it for). Based on this, I'm going to recommend the Kel-Tec P3AT.

This. If he absolutely insists on a handgun, first take him to a range that will let you shoot some milk jugs to make sure he really understands the difference between a handgun and a shotgun, then point him toward any of the reliable used pistols in 7.62x25 Tokarev. MagSafe makes Tokarev ammo that would be appropriate for an apartment, and cases of practice ammo are still relatively cheap.G.A.

Go with a budget pump shotgun such as a Mossberg Maverick 88 or other similar easy to learn platform.
