I've hashed this out with every firearm purchase since i've been on this site, please bear with me. the opinions i and ifo i get really helps in making up my mink, so thanks!

last year i bought a 6" gp100 for a house gun, now my wife wants another smaller handgun. of course she is leaving totally up to me to find it.
parameters––-
domestic caliber
g19 size or smaller/3" revolver or smaller
budget around $200-$250

can anyone get me close.

i'd apreciate any links to used guns online, where is a good place to look for police trade ins?

thanks

A surplus Makarov maybe?

i would say try to find a used SP101 in 357 so you can use the same ammo in both, but im not sure you will find one in the price range.

you can look for a  used Security Six too.
