What is a good cheap pistol for someone who has never even shot a gun before?
Live in a bad area and I do not feel safe walking around at night to and from work.
(ive scanned catalog but not really sure what the hell everyone is talking about)
im sorry this thread has undoubtedly been posted a million times before - but if anyone can kindly give me a quick answer would be greatly appreciated.
Define cheap. Like hi-point cheap, or police trade in Glock cheap?
You can usually get a good, reputable used hand gun at local shops.

I was hoping to pay less than 400 dollars (yea thats probably not enough for anything good im guessing)

I sincerely hope I never am in a situation where I have to even reach for it.

Don't ask 4chan. Google a local gun range, ask people there where a good local gunshop is.
Go to said gunshop and have them show you some options,
comfort is king: if it doesn't feel at home in your hands it will never shoot right.
Next get to the range: If you're carrying for defence holster to accurate fire needs to be muscle memory not thought

$400 is fine. I paid $393 for my shield with tax and background check included.
Shop around and look for something you like in that price range. Try to stick to something in the Glock, S&W, Springfield, Ruger or CZ brands. Preferably in .380, 9mm, or .45

ok so basically hit the range and just bullshit with the locals is what you guys suggest then?
ill do that, thanks friends

Look around. Be honest with the sales guys and tell them it's your first gun. Don't let them pressure you into something you dont want though. Hold a bunch of guns until something feels right. And if possible shoot it at a range.
literally glock
I got u senpai

so are you saying the guns on that chart are good? cause if so alot of those would definitely be in my price range
>>29747751
Just like cars there is no such thing as a "good" gun as everyone has unique tastes. Take a look at the ruger LCP9 they can be had for $189-$250 right now and are pretty idiot proof
>>29747658
whats with the bottoms of the guns being serrated like a knife or something? weird
>>29747772
That's a rail for mounting something like a light or laser.
>>29747788
ah, makes sense. well, looks like i have some shopping to do. thanks everyone - ill have to come by /k/ more often you guys seem pretty mature for this hellhole website.

You can also look into the Canik TP9. Fantastic weapon, about $350.
>>29747751
Some of those are good, they're all functional which is exactly what you're asking about.

Bersa Thunder would be a good bet for you then keep in mind you not just buying a weapon you buying ammo spare mags and a holster... the Bersa is cheap enough to get that you can afford to do so you second best bet is a used snub nose .38 and some speed loaders if you can have a friend show you how to use speed loaders and or if your willing to teach your self on youtube (if you go this route buy some snap caps if you don't know what thouse are ask for them at your local gun store)
Not OP but has anyone here ever owned a RIA M206? I'm thinking about picking one up for my bug out bag...

>>29747922
those both look like some good options (im not really wanting a revolver)
also forgot to mention I do want something with some stopping power, and from what i hear 9mm isnt really going to stop a 300lb gorilla man charging at you

My preference for a revolver is purely for simplicity. When I have to lift my jacket, or hoodie, or shirt to draw my concealed firearm, I like the idea of being able to point and pulling the trigger without any extra steps. No need to worry about safeties, magazines, jams, chambering a round, etc.
Just unholster, point, pull trigger. I chat up this old retired FBI agent and he goes on and on about how his Saturday Night Special was always with him and how it saved his ass in times where his service issue would fail him. Shitty thing is, you gotta solve your problem with 5-6 shots. I carry speed trips since they can lay flat and go into any pocket. Not a fan of speed loaders.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should get a gun you don't want but I'm throwing it out there that if you want something dependable, easy to maintain, extremely reliable, and supremely simple to carry: wheel gun.

Zimmerman used a keltec
>>29747451
Yeah your best bet is go to an indoor range and let them know you intend to buy a gun, if you havent ever fired one you'll know how, and which one works for you after trying 3-4.
Just make sure you actually stay in practice with it so you arent fucked when you need it.

>Tyrone
Bubba is just as likely desu
Probably more so in rapes
