Anything Glock Em Down mentioned, or the HK you mentioned, or many 1911s in 9mm....or...Taurus, S&W, on and on. Look for good used deals in the classifieds here too. You should be able to pick up a good used 9 somewhere for less than $450 I would think.

If you are newb to pistols, avoid the 1911 like the plague!
I'm sure to get flamed for saying this, but IMHO, the 1911 is a weapon for more "knowledgeable" pistoleros. Can you learn the ins and outs of a cocked and locked? Of course. I just don't consider it a proper weapon for a "first timer" such as yourself.
If you are dead set on an auto, that's easy to use and won't break the bank, get one of the popular plastic wondernines - Glock, M&P, XD. Hell, even the Taurus 24/7 is a decent pistol.
Besides...you won't find a PROPERLY TUNED AND EQUIPPED 1911 for less than 600-700 bucks anywhere. You can get into a Mil-Spec for a little less than that, but if you want one with all the bells and whistles, your gonna spend close to a grand for one.
Thanks, I have thought about that also, I see a bunch of glocks on here. What's the going price for one in 9mm??
Hmm, never thought about that. Are they gonna be a little more expensive in purchase price of the gun in .357 or .44 and cheaper on bullets then the 30-30? Thank you, I'm on okdhm forum and that's where I got this site from.
glock, springfield xd, kahr, sig sauer... none of these will disappoint... imho
New to handguns, try a Glock. Very simple, very dependable, very few parts to break. Some people love them, a few hate them, but if you buy one and don't like it, you can usually sell it and get your money back out of it. This is a good guy to get a used one from at good prices. If you buy one of these and don't like them, let me know, and I will take it off of your hands.
The first two are 40 S&W caliber, which is between the 45 and a 9mm, both in recoil and ammo price. The last one is a 9mm. You can look around and this is about the best price you will see. Find a FFL locally, we have several on the board that will do the transfer, and have it shipped to them, and pick it up and do the 4473 there.

If you like 1911's but, don't want to spend the bucks then you should get a tokarev tt-33 in 7.62x25, It is almost identical to the browning 1911 (actually when the soviets were looking a new service pistol to replace the nagant revolver they just copied the 1911) you can get one for around $200 and a thousand rnds of ammo for about $100. They are very loud and powerful and fun to shoot and almost indestructable.

A possibility to consider is to buy a pistol that can take a .22 conversion kit.
Any Glock except the Glock 36 and an Advantage Arms kit.
Most 1911's, kits from Colt, Kimber, Advantage Arms or Marvel.
CZ75's, with the CZ Kadet kit.
SIG 220/226/229 with SIG conversion kit.
Ciener .22 conversions..... not recommended.

Thanks a lot for all the comments guys! Yea a .22 kit might be the way to go.
One of my favorite guns is my Baretta PX4 Storm 9mm. Its semi-auto and I bring it to the range every time I go no matter what else I shoot. Cheap ammo and easy to find.
