Illinoisfag here and I just got my FOID card and can now legally buy guns but I don't know what to buy first
A little about me
>5'6" inb4manlet
>180 dad bod according to this girl I know
>I guess I have medium hands, not small but not nigger huge
>don't want something over $350 just because I also have to pay for ffl and transfer fees
i was thinking of getting a .357 but the good ones are around $450 and up. I also thought about a yugo m57 but it's sold out everywhere online and I thought about a mak but dick grips and the cartridge price for all three is more than I'd prefer. Bonus points if you can find a nice sized revolver with a good cartridge

Save up a bit and get something good, mang. I know waiting sucks, but if you get a piece of shit you won't be happy.
Also, representing the 217 here.

I know but that's why I have my price limit at 350 because I also plan on buying a small safe and ammo along with the gun. Also I've seen a lot of guns for around 350 I just don't know if they are good. 708 here btw

This dude is so right.
Better save up and buy the one you want the most, otherwise you'll always be wanting to buy that one anyway.
Plus, I don't think you can get a reliable handgun for $350. Maybe a used polymer wonder

Buds has used Detroit PD market S&W M&P40s for as little as $320 with free shipping
CZ-75b Omega for $499 and a set of slim grips?

>lock kit
>padlock
>(optional) bolt to floor
Better than pretty much any handgun safe you can afford.
As for guns, save up about double. You aren't getting shit for $350 in store, and after transfer fee you probably aren't getting shit online either. A trade in Glock 22 will run you about $350 plus transfer.
Slavshit is called slavshit because it's shit from slavs. They're fun for memes, but they're still shit.
If you looked for a while you could probably find a new SD9VE for a little over $300 shipped. Check /r/gundeals every day. Hell, here's an okay price for $320 shipped from buds https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/83125

Oh yeah I wasn't planning on buying in store, fucking cook county tax will fuck me over. Thanks for the recommendation, I kinda need one before the end of the summer because I'm going to be in Chicago late and I don't want to be there without nothing to back me up
Ruger No. 1 in .45-70
