That one is really interesting. Outside of the regions with frequent civil disorders such as Poland or Caucasus, weapons were sold without restrictions, only consequences of firearm misuse were regulated. However, there was a crackdown after 1905's revolution and non-hunting weapons started to be sold only with a license. Pic related is a Russian ad for pistols. I'm not sure about the price range but I think it's affordable for the time, a well-qualified factory worker earned from 25 to 50 rubles per month.

If you were German and didn't have criminal record, mental condition, "political" problems etc. you could get any gun you wanted as long as you could afford it.
>Royal France
There were some bans/regulations centred around pistols to reduce the quantity and mortality of duels but they could never be enforced because administrative reach of ANY country back then was rather small.

>Austria-Hungary
In law from 1852 were forbidden daggers, stilettos, trombones, tercerolas (kind of pistol) under 18 cm, pneumatic guns, grenades, petards, rockets and hidden weapons which could be used for insidious attack (like swordcanes). Latter were added probably skipped cannons but revolvers under 18 cm were not longer automatically banned. Other weapons were allowed in adequate unsuspicious amount.
On the other hand caring of weapons was regulated, gun license was issued only to unproblematic persons. People who had good reason to carry guns like gamekeepers and policemen in uniform, or members of sport shooter organization at shooting range didn't were exception.
