I live in the mule deer capitol of the PNW, live here long enough and you WILL hit one (I've hit 2 in 20 years). So I'm thinking of getting a cheap gun to keep in the truck primarily to dispatch an injured critter for those times when I'm not carrying. Am thinking .45 ACP since I already have several and reload for it. So what's the cheapest .45 auto that would still be worth buying? I can get a Hi Point for less than $200, or jump to a Ruger SR 45 for about $250. That's about as high as I'd care to go, I don't intend to leave it in the truck all the time, but I also don't want to risk losing something more valuable.
So who owns either of the above, or has something similar, and what do you think? I just need something that will go BANG! fairly consistently, it won't be used as an SD piece, nor will it see much use, other than to verify function. I normally prefer guns with metal frames and hammers, but in this case, I don't care. Thanks.
