Got those four Hi-Point guns - two carbines, two pistols. Needed extra mags, a couple holsters, a couple magazine pouches, a couple dot sights and a couple carbine cases to to prevent them being beat to pieces carrying them in the truck. By the time I was done buying the extras, I'd spent more than the firearms cost.
Dagnab, accessories for a couple guns is expensive nowdays.

The extras just about always out distance the purchase price!

No kidding!
Guns are as bad as airplane ,in their own way . It is said when the paperwork weighs as much as the plane your ready to fly.
I have 1 hard case because it came with a gun and it is cheap. I also have a clearanced tactical soft case that was said to be the thing ......also a let down.
What happened to the cost effective 4 and 6x scopes ? Why are there 2 makers of entry level sights then the price skips right to platinum plated gold surfaced sterling silver. Heaven help you if you want anything even sort of tactical related . I don't get how we can build $4 cat abuse Lazer pointer but it costs $170 more to put it on a Weaver mount and give it a 2 axis adjustment. I don't even want to start on lights......

I paid full price for my M&P 40 pistols, but even my reloaded ammo has cost far more than the pistols did. All that practice has been fun and well worth it. I think this Glock model 42 I carry a lot is going to be the same story.

Just what I have shot though my 45 I could have paid for every gun in the house If I had bought factory.
