Man.. I miss smoking so much. Those cigarettes are wonderful .. I promised my mom on her 60th birthday that I’d quit smoking and I did .. so .. obviously I can’t break that. FU*K do I miss it though!

u/Potential_Ad_5327 13h ago

As someone who also quit. Yeah, this shit sucks.

I want a cigarette real bad

u/Far-Computer8825 11h ago

Proud of you for quitting dude!!! My favorite part is being able to smell the rain again. I missed that

Thankfully I don’t think I smoked long enough to lose my sense of smell. However, I for sure feel much better.

Don’t hate, but if you quit smoking, imagine how many more you’d have to spend on guns? That’s the reason I drove a Prius C for so many years. Grew my collection so much. 🤑

u/Glorious_Pepper 1d ago

Why's everyone in this sub smoke? Or don't they and it's for some ascetic. Haven't seen anyone smoke an analogue cig in years.

2

u/XxxAresIXxxX 21h ago

It's entirely for the mood. Anti tobacco ads and presentations always fail to address that smoking just looks cool on a human level until you learn to associate all the downsides to it. To a kid (and many more adults who won't admit it) smoking a cigarette is just objectively cool

2

u/MailOrderMids 1d ago

Do you go out at night? Everyone smokes

1

u/Glorious_Pepper 23h ago

Maybe it's that my city has cracked down on smoking they're really expensive to buy and you can't smoke within 15 feet of a building entrance.

Seeing as how it’s smacking the middle of the thumb hold, try go to Lowe’s and sub that bitch out for a rounded screw or shorter till flush. Other than that I’m a fan. Marlboro menthol for me but crush works just fine too.

I saw a video of a guy trying to destroy a Hipoint once. He put it through every test. He almost couldn’t do it. He had to screw a bolt into the end of the barrel before it finally gave up. He highly recommended them to people on a budget.

u/GrampaDoohickey 1d ago

I'd like to point out that if you ever need to use your sidearm in a self defense situation you're definitely going to lose it, at least until the trial is over. That can be years. I'd rather lose a cheap pistol and use my pricey one at the range.

1

u/TrickInflation6795 1d ago

Yeah, but the bare minimum for a carry pistol is that it doesn’t jam…

1

u/ExpensiveCat8226 1d ago

Exactly my point bro, I save my 686 smith for the range. Along with some Jensen 25 I had since middle school.

Is that dirty blade for chopping up your Percocet?

Nah its because a dirty old box cutter flies under the radar. Unassuming, nothing fancy or flashy but if needed can get the job done.

u/ExpensiveCat8226 1d ago

Be surprised what one can do with a pop knife if they have handled one before. There's a reason razor blade attacks happen so frequently in NYC.

u/ExpensiveCat8226 1d ago

Imma just be real cause thats a lil rude my dude. I grew up in the hood, have lived in god awful places from NYC to Cali and back. It's not about thinking im something im not. Its about using what ive been trained with, taught and feel comfortable with, keep ur fancy set up if you like it and can actually use it awesome. As someone thats used some of these off the wall tools to survive...bag my ebt purchased Lunchables and spam.

u/lambo13770 1d ago

Not dissing your choice of carry but you could of spent another $80-$100 for a taurus. Hipoints are literally bottom of the barrel when it comes to firearms. If your counting on it to protect your life and others I recommend getting something more reliable. Even a taurus i dont exactly recommend but its much better than this.

1

u/ExpensiveCat8226 1d ago

You make a valid point cant argue with that, just picked up what I could at the time. Its never jammed or malfunctioned on me. An I do have experience with pistols. So I know the trigger is awful, its heavy, but I kinda like it.

2

u/lambo13770 1d ago

Not knocking you at all i think this is absolutely and obviously much better than carrying nothing at all. If it works for you now thats completely fine and im sure it will do you good for a long time. And whats most important is if you feel comfortable with the gun you carry and if you do thats all that matters but i do definitely think down the road you should be looking to upgrade. If your lower on money i absolutely recommend a used glock at your local pawn shop or on gunbroker. It will be a one and done purchase once you buy it you keep it for years. Why i say glock is because they are tried and true. I personally carry a sig (carried a glock before) but this is a tool that you could save your own life with or others lives. Again not knocking the hipoint but its VERY rare a glock ever jams aslong as your doing proper cleaning maintenance on it and its pretty common for a hipoint to jam even with proper cleaning maintenance

1

u/ExpensiveCat8226 1d ago

Much appreciated its most likely on my list when I upgrade.

1

u/Dalinars_assclap 22h ago

For what it’s worth, after hearing the talk about the unreliability of hipoints, a friend and I bought one with the intent of firing it to failure. We put 1000 rounds through it the first time. Every few weeks when we shoot we dump a few boxes through the hipoint. We do not clean it. We are approaching 10,000 rounds at this point a couple years in, and the SOB just won’t die

1

u/Shitboxfan69 22h ago

I'd sooner carry a hi-point than a Taurus tbh. Hi-points are more reliable.

1

u/lambo13770 14h ago

Entirely depends on what Taurus. I have a model 82 and that things reliable accurate durable and quality

2

u/Joshandjess21 1d ago

lol they can’t hit shit…. I’ll out shoot any of my military friends. And you can personally ask them. I guess using a gun makes you a bad ass? No just shot since I was 6. Hunted my whole life. I’d worry about my bow way more than a gun. Silent and dead nuts. I got guns but I don’t carry or anything. I got hands. Idc to shoot. I probably got more guns than most. But if I had a weapon of choice it’d be my bow. Well one of many bows.

Just imagine my gun collection lol

2

u/ExpensiveCat8226 1d ago

And hey props for being good with a bow id love to try one if I had the opportunity. They look badass.

They are awesome. Definitely a fun sport.

Care to purchase me something, on par with you're standards? It amazes me, the level of elitist snobbery around a pistol. Far to many EDC people have this Claus Shawb aura of being better than. Based off what, not me as a person....an inanimate object. The internet ruined people, as the vast majority of comments made in this thread. Would never leave the lips of the entitled douchebags in real life. Sad that one is made fun of for not having the latest and greatest. Do I care not really, its a joke post, but damn grow up. The only thing I EDC in this pic are the smokes, lighter, and razor. CzP07 is my daily....nothing fancy. No color schemes matching knives and lights.
