OK, the ergonomics of a slide mounted safety take a bit of training to use reliably and they are slower to use than a frame mounted unit. Still good (reliable, accurate) guns though. Quote HistoryQuoted:

p-series. They're ugly lumps. They go bang, but zero sexy factor. OK, the ergonomics of a slide mounted safety take a bit of training to use reliably and they are slower to use than a frame mounted unit. Still good (reliable, accurate) guns though. I'd take one for free, but I'd much rather have the ppx, canik, used glock, m&p, used 75/85, tanfoglio cheapie, etc. The p-series are just pretty dated, and look like hi-points 
Why not get something with some "cool factor?" |

Over the last 4 or 5 years I've picked up a stippled G19, S&W 669, 4026, S&W model 13, Model 67, Model 28, CZ P-07 and probably a few others for $300 or less.
There's someone out there with a nice gun that they'd let go for $300, especially since christmas is coming up. |

You can get a P-series Ruger in 9mm used for sub 300 all day. Yep. I keep a P95 with a TLR-1 on my nighstand. |

Cool to one, isn't to another.
I think the P- series is plenty cool. They look like weapons from a 50's sci-fi flick. YMMV. |

I never was a Taurus Believer until now.. I bought the G2 2 weeks ago.. I have 500 rds through it. I never even cleaned it when I got it. when I say not one misfire or stovepipe or anything wrong I mean it.. I fed it a variety of ammo too.. Trigger is a bit long but I got use to it real quick.. All the hater go ahead and chime in while I go blow off another 100 rounds, lol.. Now for my CW Kahr 380, that was another story.. special ammo, special hold, then go to church and say 5 hail Marys and a few our fathers.. Finicky gun for sure.. but after a 200rd breaking in period , she is my carry 380. BTW, Lakeside Inc, sells aftermarket products for Kahr and Taurus.. I picked up the rod and spring set and Tritium Night Sights. Total cost for gun 200 ship 20, rod kit and Tritium Night Sights $120.. For $340 I got a kick ass 9MM... Matter of fact I am in the market for the SS model soon.

If it doesn't have to be new.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned FEG hi power clones S&W surplus 910's & 915's Surplus 59 series The one I recommend for non shooter who wants to own a handgun A police trade S&W model 10-best deal going if you can find them |

You do realize those types of handguns were carry guns from 1940s-1990s right? Lots of people (myself included) carried those types of guns - steel framed revolvers and autos, long before polymer pistols were more common. |

Should they decide to start carrying, they'd need to get another gun Hi-Powers are not "really heavy guns", and neither is an alloy framed S&W 5904, which is only 6oz heavier than a Glock 19. CDI has a bunch of third generation S&W double stack 9mm autos right around your price OP. That would be my suggestion. |

Should they decide to start carrying, they'd need to get another gun Yes they are, compared to some. But there is a reason they are still around too. Quality built and rock solid. People still carry full frame 1911's religiously(wish I could, just doesn't fit my daily routine). Nothing wrong with another gun for carry. I'd bet most have dedicated carry and home defense guns, I do. |

SD9 for the Best Buy. I see them sub $300 from time to time. Lifetime warranty by Smith & Wesson. Gets a lot of crap flung at it for the double action revolver style trigger (which is designed to be safer for defense situations than a 3 lb hair trigger) holds 16+1 of 9mm. Good Solid Gun that goes BANG every time! BIGGER_HAMMER  This No need to look any further than the SD9VE. I hear good things about Canilk but I worry about long term parts and service. I've been burned by imports in the past. |

Best bet is to go shopping for a used Glock, M&P or XD...even if it's a little over $300 it's worth it. Police trade ins are usually great deals.
Buds has the S&W SD9 for $299 and the S&W Shield 9mm for $325 both new. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/2084_654_910/Police+Trade-Ins/ |
