ok. what could possibly be better than buying a gun with my stimulus check (besides porn and beer). Anyway, I know I have had threads in the past asking about what gun to get ect, but I decided that I want to get one with part of my check. I would like to get a pistol for $400 or less. suggestions?

Id check sportsmans warehouse first. If nothing there catches your fancy, hit up Badger outdoors and shooters shop and haggle a price.
On a GOOD sale you should be able to scare up a 4" service model for around $450. Or a nice USED 5" tactical model for around $375-450. Its hard to find a nice handgun under $400. Pretty much anything that cheap generaly sucks. $500 -$1000 is where most NICE handguns are priced.Last edited by Breecher_7; 05-11-2008 at 03:22 PM.

well I mean if its somewhere NEAR $400 thats fine. I just dont have $1000 to spend on a gun that Im not going to use all the time.
one other questions. Does anyone sell pistols for left handers? I do everything right handed but when it comes to shooting, I'm a lefty.1968 Camaro 383

Stick with the XD, basically ambidextrous. It does not have a thumb safety like many other handguns. Instead, it has a grip safety and a safety built into the trigger. You can obviously pull the slide back with either hand. I agree with Breecher, if you're looking for the best bang for your buck, go with the XD. I'd get a .40S&W as opposed to a 9mm.
A 45 ACP would be ideal, but you're price goes up in the gun and ammo. 40 S&W is still cheap ammo and it has more "ooompf" than a 9mm.

What size are you looking for?
I have a Taurus Millennium Pro in .40SW.
It's pretty small. Got it for carry. You can hide it anywhere and it's 10+1.
I've run a lot of rounds through it. Including some really crappy ones that barely fell out of the barrel. It hasn't ever jammed.
I've got $420 into it and that's including 5 factory clips and a case.
My next one is probably going to be a M&P .45 or a Taurus 24/7 longslide .45.
Buy made in the United States. Otherwise your job might be next. Unless you already wear black shoes and a visor with golden arches on it to work in which case your fellow american has already failed you.

Woohoo, thanks. Why? Is it because it's not made in China like all the american manufacturers? Or because it has cast parts instead of stamped drillpress shavings like S&W and Glock? Because the rails don't fall out like a Glock? Honestly, I'd like to know so I can buy something else next time. It's not a $750 pistol so comparing it to a Sig isn't right.
