What's good about buying trade in glocks is that they usually have the plastic sights replaced with tritiums or at the least metal ones.
I think you have the right mindset already but it's always better to buy a good used gun over a new shit gun for the same price.
Keep an eye out on places like cdnn,topgunsupply and aimsurplus for deals

Is the Taurus PT92 actually as shit as people say? I really want one.
>>29391219
And Tisas 1911s are under $400 and supposedly function as they should.
Thank you for the suggestions, I'll check out the police trade ins.
Any brands or models one should avoid?
>>29391172
>>29391219
To add to this, if you can find an FEG Hi Power, they're pretty good buys. Ammo is common, mags arent too expensive, and they're literally just Hungarian made Hi Powers.
I'm excited for the AREX, basically a P226 with a manual safety and $400 off MSRP.
Good bit of recommendations in this thread are good, would add in police trade in or used S&W revolvers.
The ruger p series are excellent handguns got a p89 for 350 in a pawn shop had it for 2 years now and never had a jam or nothing

Oh, hello anon. I like that color scheme.
>>29392845
I like yours too buddy
>>29391118
Most 2nd hand S&W revolvers, something in .38 or .357 generally isn't very expensive and they're generally very well made without much to go wrong. Ruger also make a couple of decent revolvers as well that might be even cheaper.
>>29392860
Do you know the difference between the P90 and the P89? I sure as hell dont.
>>29392845
Those shiny plastic grips give me P38 or Tokarev vibes. I like it.
I use a Sccy CPX2 as my EDC, also good cheap fire arms, M57 Tokarev or a EAA Witness, all around $300, sometimes less
>>29392912
If i remember correctly i think the p90 is a .45 and the p89 is a 9mm. You should try to pick up some houge grips for yours they make it alot more comfy
>>29393294
It's literally just my B.O.B. gun. I dont shoot or carry it so idgaf about comfort. Thanks though desu
>>29393375
Yea i feel you its a perfect throw around gun their built like tanks i keep mine as my car gun

police trade in Sig p226/p229/p228
just find one in a style/action you like and jump on them
Slickguns is an awesome website for low priced guns and deals
>>29391118
it is literally cheaper to buy something in 9x19mm now days than anything else. The days of 9x18mak and cheap ammo are long gone.
Your best bet right now is a Italian trade-in Beretta 92. It has a heel mag release, but its only $329 for a EXC condition one.
Topping that, you can get a glock17/19 trade in for roughly $350-425. Honestly, I would get a better condition glock for around $450, or a brand new threaded G19 for ~$545
A milsurp unissued Bulgy mak runs about $325, but 9x18 is like 10cpr more than regular 9x19mm now days.
>>29393396
I switch between carrying my DE1911U (pictured before) and keeping my Taurus PT111 as a truck gun.
>inb4 Shitaurus
>>29391118
My answer changes depending if you're asking for a carry gun or not.
If yes:
SCCY CPX2, EAA Witness (I carry this), Makarov. I'd hedge my bets with a taurus model 85 too, but I don't really like revolvers in general.
For a carry gun, avoid the Tokarev. No safety, and not designed to carry cocked and locked + no viable defense ammo -- 7.62x25 is too hot to run as defense ammo. Too much over penetration...kills bystanders, and your court case.
>>29393111
These are too big to carry unless you wear a nigger tier white tee. Also, they're unreliable, be damned all the shills who say otherwise.
Mine almost caused me to fail my last armed security qual due to stoppages during courses of fire, so I don't even trust it as a range gun. Fuck this gay niggerblaster.
I bought the Ruger American Pistol a couple days ago, and I'm really digging it.
I was checking out a CZ P-09. They seem to be priced at around 400 in like new condition used. It would be mostly a car gun as I don't have my CC permit yet, but I'd eventually want it to be a carry gun as well.
I'm not entirely opposed to revolvers, but I'm leaning away from them.
>>29396110
The one I was looking at was the 40 S&W model, not the 9mm.
>>29391118
You posted one already. 92FS will not break the bank
>>29391118
I own this. Very decent, glock tier for cheaper
I know almost nothing about guns. Some old guy who I know is an enthusiast got one these. Would it be worth getting as a complete newbie?
S&W Victory 22lr ~$400
>>29396158
They're 600 dollars. That is not cheap.
Police trade in. I got a 96 with 4 mags for $380. Little saddle wear but damn good shooter.
Failing that, Taurus pt111g2/pt140g2.
>>29394094
>I can't propperly maintain my weapon system and it almost caused me to fail my fake operator mall cop test
Op this will solve your problems
What handgun could I buy for $250?
Or should I just save more shekels for a better pistol?
>>29393442
I've heard a lot of good on the PT111 and have been thinking of getting it. You had any issues with it?
>>29397955
Not him but I carry the pt111g2 everywhere. All I've found is one mag won't feed the first round if it's a hollow when it was new. Carried the pt145 before this and I love it.
Welp. I bought a SAM 1911 Military at a gunshow today. Used, no idea how many rounds through it, picked it up for $379. Complete impulse buy, since I know next to nothing on the brand.
Did I fuck up?
I have a CC (ruger lc9), and now I want a range toy, preferebly something a little less snappy.
I've been thinking of either a Romanian Tokarev, or a Bulgarian Mak. And by that, I mean I'm going to get them both at some point regardless, but for the purposes of just punching holes in paper, which would be better?
I'm also considering picking up a Star Model B, but I've heard they're extremely shit and prone to become jars of preserved fruit. Any input on those?
>>29398031
Just as long as it shoots well enough and that you've made sure that there aren't any cracks, pitting, etc. You can always save up for another 1911 in the future.
Pic related, I bought it at a gun show out of impulse because I wanted a 1911, and just like in your case, I had no idea of the brand. It's a Firestorm 1911 in case you're wondering.
>>29397803
I want this so bad. How much is it going for?
>>29391277
Confirm this i own 2
>>29398256
real good condition ones for about $500 i've seen
one i saw at cabellas they were wanting $300
>>29393111
Woh GLOCK 40!
>>29398272
nah man that's a Sig N Wesson Problem Solver right there.
You're thinkin of one of them Jenkem High-Powers in 4mm Tay.
>>29397955
Not sure if you'll see this, but hell I came back the next day so why wont you?
Anyway, I love the PT111 G2. It's a tack driver on the range, extremely affordable, very comfortable in the hand. I personally enjoy having the external thumb safety because I carry hot. Durable so it does well as a truck gun and everyday carry. 8/10 would recommend.
>>29391268
>as shit as people say?
The PT92 is known as the anomaly in the Taurus world.
If anyone argues with a straight face that they are shit they have been overcome with Taurus hate.
>>29391268
I have one and love it. At least a thousand rounds through it with out a hiccup.
>>29398171
My Star Super B would jam a couple of times a mag. I tore it down and cleaned the shit out of it with no luck. Maybe I just got a lemon.
What really pissed me off was how nice it felt and it was accurate. Ended up trading it and some cash for a S&W model 19.
>>29399911

>Police trade in anything
>Smith auto's
>Secondhand Sig's, HK's,
300$-500$USD Is a good Poorfag budget right?
>>29400286
I'd say 500 is normalfag range. That's right around where a new pistol from Smith, Springfield, or Glock will start.
I'd say poorfag budgeting is more like 250 (Millenium G2, SCCY) to 400 (CZ clones, police trade-ins, Ruger and S&W budget line, Canik, etc).
>>29397781
>$600 is expensive for a pistol
Poorfag pls go and stay go. Guns are for responsible people
>>29391118
Are there Berretta 92 surplus/trade ins? And what's the deal with them?
What can /k/ tell me about the PPX? What makes it a budget gun?
OP here. I'm thinking 500 to 600 is top out of poorfag range.
I was considering the 92FS. It's at the top of my price range though. The way I see it, it's worth it to step a bit out of budget (currently floating around 500, but it can be higher) for a better quality weapon.
>>29400286
I'd say $80 - $200 (maybe $250) is poorfag range.
>>29391118
Astra a-100. Imagine a sig... for 200-300 dollars.
Also it's spanish. And heavy as fuck. And the magazines are stupid expensive.
Shoots great though, and good luck breaking it.
>>29399911
There's also the taurus pt111 g2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH3tJrK2ma4
Universally reviewed as... actually a really good buy and entirely reliable.
The grip on it is fucking amazing.
>>29400643
Op, if you're lookinbg fo a full size, just buy an astra.
You're getting a sig for half the price.
If you want a 92fs, they can easily be found in the 400 dollar range.
Mine was 450 for a model f compact. Less after I traded my Astra in.
Juts look around. Any shop wort its weight in shit will have used Beretta 92s in stock is perfectly good shape.
ESPECIALLY if they're a dealership. God damn do I love the local dealer.
>>29391288
My Hungarian hi power shoots tight groups but literally 8 inches from where the sights are aiming.
>>29398031
Nope. Just be sure to clean it well. The cosmoline they pack that thing is some sticky stuff. Clean the firing pin and extractor well. Have put 500 + rounds through mine and no problems. Also, get rid of them bb gun tier grips
>>29397942
I've seen FEG Hi Powers go for that much, Hungarian made Hi-Powers. They're good shooters but I'm not sure on how commonly they pop up. I would still save the extra money for shipping costs, ammo, and extra magazines. Maybe save the extra $150 and look at a Canik TP9

Why did you post an m9/92fs? They're not cheap at all. Unless you get a beat surplus S model with that euro heel mag release. They're in the higher side of handgun prices.

>>29402072
http://www.southernohiogun.com/handguns/beretta/beretta-model-92s-9mm.html
I personally wouldn't, but if you just want a nice looking, decent shooting 92 and don't mind the mag release or the fact it's used, why not?
>>29400553
>Calls anons poorfags in a poorfags thread
>>29398031
Any 1911 can be made to run. The cheaper ones are less likely to be g2g out of the box, expect spring changes or extractor tuning etc. Never heard of that one, but it looks neat.
>>29400553
The thread is SPECIFICALLY about inexpensive handguns, shitlord. An italian roadster is not the answer to a question about an affordable, reliable daily driver.
>>29402182
Oh holy shit thank you for that link. You just pointed me to my first handgun, anon.
>>29402182
Trade ins from what? Italian police? Military? Will these run like new or like the US military M9s?
>>29402859
I think Italian police. Some cops in Yuroland.
They should run decently. Personally I would spring for a nicer grade. An extra couple of bucks for something 'like new'? fuck it, skip a few lunches.
Anything but the most clapped out 92 series (and I'm talking >100k rounds, to the point where the rails are gone and consistent lockup is impossible) can be revived as a decent shooter with a fresh locking block and recoil spring.
>>29402840
Bear in mind, these will be great looking guns and are a great deal and all but the sights DO suck and can't be changed, so maybe this particular deal isn't ideal for a -first- gun.
>>29393442
Taurus a shit
>>29403029
The sights re fine. Pretty standard for a handgun and plenty usable inside 25 yards..
And you can have the sights changed at any smith,, or send the slide off to have them replaced for ~$40.
>>29403094
Sorry, not that guy but I'm kinda new to guns and I'm confused. Those sights are actually part of the slide, right? How could you replace them?
Don't ever get a Llama 1911.
>>29405254
The rear is pinned to the slide. Many companies will replace the front either by drilling or fixing a new post over the front.
For a cheap 1911 hard too beat Auto Ordnance. Can get around 500-700, cheaper used.
>>29405326
Oh, cool, thanks. Any pointers on which companies I should bookmark on that front?
>>29391118
Are there any non Hi-Point guns that can be had under $100?
>>29405484
Wilson Combat is pretty good. Your local (decent) gunsmith can probably do it.
>>29391118
For Home Defense or a Target gun; look for a used Smith and Wesson 5906.
You can find used Smith and Wesson 5906s for around $350 and they're excellent full size 9mms, they have really good triggers and they're stainless steel DA/SA with a 15 round capacity. The downside is that they're big and heavy; but for a target gun or home defense gun that's not an issue.
For conceal carry look at a Ruger LCR or LCP Custom.
Ruger LCR or LCP Custom are both around $300 and they're both very nice, small and light conceal carry guns. If you get the LCP spend the extra money for the custom because the trigger on the regular one is shit.
Or if you want Mil surp get a Makarov, they're solid Soviet surplus sidearms that are small enough for conceal carry and can be had for sub $300.
>>29403029
No worries man, irons are old shit, RMRs are the new hotness. Don't act like you don't want a 92s, P38 or Borchardt with RMR. Or at least a deltapoint and xc1
>>29405709

>>29405709
Anyone know a good site to get a 5906 from?
>>29401949
Yep, both solid guns. Had 8000 and 8045 compact. The finish on the stoeger wasn't great and dropping a cartridge on it would leave a mark on it so it's cz tier. However the machine and fit on both was good. The compact balanced like ass and it was pretty bad without a grip extension but both good shooters. Trigger and sights we're both good enough. For the 9mm you can modify 92fs mags by cutting a new mag catch. Don't go looking for specific holsters though.
>>29397173
A ruger MKII is a great newfag pistol.
>>29407237
MKIII is the current gen of them and I agree its a great .22lr target pistol.
I'd recommend the 22/45 since it has a more conventional grip and get either the target model with the bull barrel which basically has no recoil and is very accurate or the LITE which is smaller lighter and has a threaded barrel in case you want to put a suppressor on it.
Only word of caution is that they are kind of a pain to strip down when you want to thoroughly clean them, mainly because getting the bolt pin in and out is irritating. That said there is a $50 speed strip kit you can buy that makes breaking it down a breeze (you just unscrew the bolt pin with an allen wrench). I just wish Ruger would just add an allen wrench lug on top of the bolt pin themselves because its such a slight modification and it takes all the pain out of disassembly.
>>29391305

>>29407658
>>29407674
I will backup every point made. Except that I think the speed strip is unnecessary. After reassembling a few times it's mega easy. But you have to know the trick.
>>29407658
>>29409381
I'd say if you buy a Mark III strip it down and see if you think its a problem for you, for me it was; but maybe I just suck.

Stay away from sccy if you're looking for a cheap carry gun. The reviewers are shills. Hi points also suck, no they're not reliable and again the reviewers are shills (they can afford to send free guns to them). Makarovs are ok, but the caliber, capacity, and weight suck.
