[QUOTE="JoeUSooner, post: 4127786, member: 55109"] My Taurus G3 (purchased four years ago, just after Taurus improved their quality) was just $300. It is picky about some cheap FMJ ammo - but handles all hollow-point ammo just fine. As long as I stay with decent-quality FMJ, that pistol is perfectly dependable. It is highly-accurate, and a lot of fun to shoot. They are quite a bit more expensive nowadays, though, so I do wish I'd gotten a second one. A decade ago, I purchased a Canik (pronounced "zha-neek") compact model Stingray 9mm for almost $400 total. EXCELLENT pistol, high quality materials and workmanship, dependable and damned accurate! My youngest brother test-fired it and (understandably) fell in love with it, so I gave it to him for his 50th birthday. I miss that little pistol... but can't find any still available, even on the used market. Wish to heaven that I'd purchased one or two more, back then. [/QUOTE]
