If you HAD to carry one what one would you carry? Both are reliable. I know these are not guns that will win a popularity contest but interesting delimma.
In my experience high point are decent guns but .22 caliber is a downer though extremely easy to shoot.
Because if you're going to only carry one gun, it may be that you only have one gun. The .22 is easy to practice with on any budget, it's fun, and very controllable for almost everyone.
On second thought, the Highpoint doesn't inspire me...
I own a C9 and have never had a single issue with it. Sure there are many better carry choices and I don't carry mine, but between those I would go with 9mm over .22 any day.
pretty much anything besides those two.
i would not trust either of those with my life, or my families lives.
the people i care about, and the people i have not met yet, lives are more important to me than the couple hundred bucks more, to purchase a reliable weapon.
i know, bad grammer, but you get my point.
