Looking for a Handgun 250-400$

[HMCS(FMF)Ret.]

I think it would be easier to get a shotgun at the price you want than a handgun. There just aren’t a lot of cheap guns these days. I’d keep your eyes out for a Glock. They sell pretty quick in the classifieds though. Also, I saw a CZ compact in the classifieds.....I believe it’s for sale in the Tulsa area.....it was being sold in the $480 range, and then a Sub 2000 for $500 (maybe you can talk them down a little). I know the sub 2000 isn’t a pistol, but it’s a 40, and probably a really good home defense gun.
If you see something you like in the classifieds I be up front about your age, because once a member see’s how young you are they’re going to want to see your ID. Just the fact that you’re a new member will turn some people off. A lot of folks only want to sell to established members (just personal preference).
Good luck with your search......P.S. I’d stay away from Armslist. They have a huge amount of scammers.

The Taurus Millennium series are perfectly fine in that price range. I have several and they are well built and reliable. Also S&W Shields can be had in that range all day long. Many M&P and sometimes even an XD.

Good luck, man, I agree, I think it should be legal for you to buy from wherever you want.

Whoa. These two that sold new for $275 and $200 respectively???


*I could be off a little bit, but this is what I remember. I KNOW the Shield was sub-$300 for a long time.

**Hell, if you wanna buy MY 9mm Shield, I'll sell it to you for $450! lol

Yep, normally you can get a 2nd gen shield with a laser for a little over $300.

Yup Sheilds were sold at BPS all last year with rebate for like $225

 

[CorpsVet]

Yeah but, he can't go to a FFL, so he should pay a "convenience" fee

 

[HiredHand]

They must have sold out of all the $225 models last year. Oddly enough some things do go up in value, too.
