Cheap handguns you liked.

The CZ's come to mind. CZ-52 & CZ-82

Sigma 9 (SW9VE). I do hesitate to refer to it as cheap.

Well, my P22 was considerably cheaper back when I bought it than they are now. I think I paid $285 for both the short and long barrel, and two mags. I've loved every moment of it.

I give $216 for my first P22 at Outdoor America and ran more rounds threw it then I could count. After about 4 years of heavy use I sold it to a friend to poped off and told me he would give me $250 for it. Now I wish I would have kept it.

Yup, I've had several offers to buy it for more than I paid for it... not doin' it though.

It's actually my mule gun and I've done all kinds of stuff to it... now it's a real shooter.

Bulgarian Makarov and CZ-82 for me.

Bersa Thunder .380
Ruger Blackhawk .357 convertible to 9 mm

 

[Nraman]

Older Bersa 380.
Amazing reliability, ate everything as if it was a Beretta. Even bad reloads. It could feed empty, resized cases and some times even just fired cases.
One thing I didn't like was the metal used, too soft.
The front of the slide would peen real bad. I gave it to a friend cheap and he bought a new slide from Bersa.

I encountered the same issue with my bersa. Sometimes the slide release wouldn't catch because the notch had begun to round. Mine didn't feed everything though. It hated S&B which is the cheap target ammo I tend to use.

A glock counts!

And I meant it as a two fold statement. A discount to Glock as well as a praise (function for price).

Remeber, Im the guy who carries a glock but still says "I'd rather throw a rock than shoot a glock."

 

[Glocktogo]

Star BM for $150
CZ 52 for $150
S&W 5946 for $175
Taurus 85 for $200
Star Firestar for $250

All of them were good guns that I'd own again, but all for them have moved on from my collection.
