Leaving a $175 Hi-Point behind would be no great loss. However having it ready to go and loaded with Federal's Hydra-Shok boolits of 230 Gr and some extra mags could really be a life saver.
I usually pack my concealed firearm at 4 o'clock on my right side. But that is not so good for a fast draw when seated and wearing a seat belt. That is the reason for the Hi-Point mounted under the steering wheel.
It is out of sight but very accessible to me when needed. I know it will go bang. I can hit something with it at 15 yds. I know the Federal round will achieve 96% in stopping power and give somebody a very bad day.
The only real downside to the Hi Point is the conveluted and unfamiliar takedown for cleaning.
