Cheap handguns that have proven to be reliable for you

This polymer 80 PFC9 was $249 on black Friday with free shipping. Has suppressor height night sites, threaded barrel and came with 3 mags (and a rebate for a 4th). It runs like a sewing machine.

I got a Taurus 709 slim on trade a decade ago, ugly trigger but very predictable, can’t begin to give an accurate round count but became my beater carry gun. Zero failures. Not 1

I like buying "expensive" guns at inexpensive prices . I have 2 different Ruger Single Six's I paid under $300 for; a Dan Wesson 357 that I traded into for less than $200; a High Standard semiauto 22 that came in less than $300; plus a Colt pre Woodsman for $400. And all but the DW were in last 2 years! And no issues from any so far...

I’d like to say that two of my favorites are made by Ruger.
Remember when you could purchase a 10/22 at Walmart for $150 or a Mk1 or Mk2 pistol at the gun show for $235?
We run those 22’s in the Chevy sportsman challenge events (anyone remember those?)
Shot bricks of ammo during training sessions and for what ever else we could think of and they would just work. Piles of magazines that always seemed to work well.

Hi-Point .45 pistol....$125.00...bought three


AK of the pistol world

I think I paid that much for my Hi Point carbine.

All my Kel-Tecs have been good.
Taurus 24/7 9mm.
The only guns I've had issues with were the pricey ones.

Just wondering which guns you own that are inexpensive but have proven to be reliable. I understand that inexpensive or cheap is subjective, so I like to think more in terms of compared to other pistols in it's class. I have a Remington R1 1911 that I think I paid around $600 new a few years back that I can't remember having a single malfunction with. I compare that to a Sig 1911 I got for around $900 around the same time that I couldn't make it through a single mag without a malfunction.

Buddy of mine passed away and I wound up with his Sccy CPX-2. The trigger is garbage, but it hasn't malfunctioned. Don't know that I'd necessarily purchase one, but free is free. RIP Ed.
