Unless a guy is on his way into divorce court the second he sells you his gun, you're NOT gonna find anything worth shooting for under $200-250. A Makarov is probably going to be the best inexpensive semi & they're normally in the $250 range these days.
Avoid anything made by Lorcin, Jennings, Byrco & Hi-Point. I had rather have a sharp knife instead of one of those. A police trade-in of a wheel gun in .38spl is another good option. Many can still be had in the $250-300 range, but most will be a 4" bbl. My .o2 |

For a new firearm in that range, probably the TaurusMilennium Pro would be the cheapest auto I would consider at $340 or so. Depends what caliber, what size firearm, what purpose it has. Although if you have never owned a firearm, not sure you should start with a compact auto. Probably a used wheelgun or new S&W 442 would be the place to start...
Just hit Bud's, sort all handguns by price. A LOT of stuff is out of stock though, even for them. Go to page 12 to also look at the out-of-stocks all together to at least get an idea of what else is out there. Personally I would just wait an extra week or so to get the budget up to around $450-500 and the choices get much better. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/advanced_cat_search.php/cated/26/page/1/sort/5a One dealer in the EE has the FNH FNP-9 stainless for only $470 as well. |
