Best hand guns for under $300?

[Mat250]

One more for the P95. Best $295 I've ever spent!

 

[snowdrifter]

Thanks snowdrifter, i didn't know S&W made anything for under $500. Made in USA?

I'm pretty sure it's made in America. Here's a good write-up/overview:

Sigma

 

[LLDJR]

Used Glock, any caliber, I've paid as low as $325 for a G-27

 

[Toolepqk]

I would keep an eye on the classifieds on here. I see good guns selling for a fair price all the time.

 

[zoglog]

I like my sigma. I have glocks too. My G17 is not 100% reliable with wolf. The sigma is.

Most people that have issues with the sigma have never fired one. It is always their cousins, brothers, uncles, neighbors friend that had one and it sucked.

Military surplus is another area to explore. Pictured is a Radom P64 price $150. LTCH $125. Two boxes of Bear 9x18mm $20. That leaves you five bucks to play the Hoosier lottery.

It is probably impossible to get a gun that most will agree they would use to save their life for $300.

Dave I'll take that challenge!

Used Ruger P-95 < $300

I DO think most people would trust their life to it.

Mine was $250 used with 3 mags and factory box


I do agree though. A hI-point will save your life as well. You do lose a LOT of capacity for the size with a C-9 though.


Edit: And now I scroll back and see the other P-95 posts

Some pretty good suggestions here for the OP

 

[K_W]

That's 4 people for the P-95. And they can be found for less than $300 NEW.

And I do trust my life, and my wife's life, to my P-95, in fact we do every night.

Sigma??

There are better firearms to be had under $300.00 than a Sigma.
My Son had one-could not get along with the terrible trigger. Bought a 92..
Neighbor had one-trigger pin fell out/locking up the gun-sent back to S&W.

A Sigma handgun is to pistols what Lee loading equipment is to reloading--It probably will get you by, but you WILL wish you had bought better..Bill.

CZ-82
Polish P-64
PA-63

 

[Sasquatchhunter]

Totally Ruger P Series. I want one myself. Also EAA, ATI. I bought my Glock 22 for $385 used Gen 2. That is one gun that is simple, accurate, and carrys a lot of wallop. What about even a pistol grip pump 12 Ga?

 

[SSGSAD]

ANYTHING (almost) that has S&W on it !!!!!

 

[Jdalton765]

my suggestion is save up another 100 and buy a nice used glock, maybe even able to talk someone down to 350 with cash in hand.

I have a Sigma SW9VE. Bought it a few years ago on Thanksgiving day. I think I paid $350.00, it came with a locking box, two mags, a pistol sock, a $50.00 mail in rebate from S&W. Reducing it to $300.00 (the OP's Budget). Mander Gountain threw in a $20.00 gift card for every $100.00 spent, a free trigger lock, a free membership to their gun owner's club (What a joke that is), and a free cleaning.
I took the $80.00 in gift cards and bought a holster and a couple boxes of ball ammo and one box of hydra-shocks.

I have fired maybe 500 rounds out of this gun with no issues.
The trigger is a hard pull, but like anything or any gun, practice, practice, and practice again.

Taurus M605-2B, I promise it will go bang every time and hurt like H@#. and yes I would bet my life on it. And as our fellow gun nerd said, A Sigma can be had for 300, (in Lafayette). Place is called FourGuns.
P.S. Gun Nerd is a compliment.

A person that would practice a whole lot with a Sigma WILL have a trigger finger like Hulk Hogan..Bill.

Ill agree with him, my first carry was a sigma SW40VE, the trigger pull was a little hard, i got mine for 300 out the door from the new gun shop in muncie, its nice for what it is, (you get what you pay for) only thing i really disliked about it was the so called rail they have, i didnt quite understand what was going on with it lol.
