What caliber is more readily available: .38, .357, 9mm or .40?
I've seen loads and loads and loads of 9mm and .40 lately.

I'm glad you brought up GunBroker.com... Looks like guns have to go to an FFL; how much do FFL's charge for their service?
I have a .270 win but since I'm moving into an apartment community I really don't want to fire a round like that. I'm not a ballistics expert but I have a sinking feeling in my stomach that a slug out of my rifle would go through a lot of walls.A shotgun or even a carbine (AK, M4-style AR-15, M1 Carbine, even a lever-action .30-30 all are good for home defense) makes a lot better choice for defending the hearth than any handgun I can think of.
I stopped in there yesterday and you're right, the folks there were very nice and eager to show any gun/answer any question(s). Other than smaller calibers, most of their prices were around $350 and up. Do they negotiate prices at all?They have some great prices and nice people. Transfers are another story ... save your breath

Yeah, I agree. Not very pretty at all. I hope bad guy, breaking in to hurt me/my kids or take my stuff, doesn't get offended by my ugly gun.I've never heard of reliabilty issues with HP but man are they ugly.
Okay guys, please don't laugh at me on this one...
I just picked up Hi-Point 9mm from a pawn shop for $179. Stopped by Walmart, picked up a box of 9mm Luger 115 gr FMJ, inserted a few in the magazine, pulled the trigger, and it went "bang!" 1 shot so far and no problems!
This will be my nightstand gun. I really thought about a shotgun but even the shorter barrels get me worried in HD/tight quarters environments. Plus, if I ever want to get my CHL or just invoke the castle doctrine and carry it in my car, there it is. Well, come to think of it I don't think this is a good pistol for CC.
Congrats on the new (to you) gun. Definately have to start somewhere.
I'm not sure if you're talking about used guns or new. If it's new guns, 99% of most stores won't be coming off a price 10-20% just "because your nice". Unless of course it's just price matching another store or something. Used guns are a whole other story of course.I've found that by being polite I can usually get a 10-20% discount from the asking price.
FWIW, I asked the guy if he could do something with the price if I pay cash. He told me it would depend on what gun I'm interested in buying. Then I saw the Hi-Point C9 and he said that was as low as they could go on it ($179).I'm not sure if you're talking about used guns or new.
