accurate enough for 25 yard+ shots

want it to be somewhat of a "throw away" since, if I ever have to use it, I will probably lose it to the Police, OR, if its stolen, I wont be out $3000.

My thinking is, "these days" a handgun just seems so inadequate for a truck gun. Long shots seem more likely? Love the Springfield AR "pistol" but pricey

am I just being paranoid?

After spending 40+ years in law enforcement, and working countless crime scenes, I've always wondered why anyone would keep or leave a loaded firearm in their vehicle. Interesting thought......your "throw away truck gun" being stolen from your vehicle and subsequently being used to harm you or your family, neighbor, or police officer.
