Anybody in here want to sell a less-expensive handgun to me? I really, really want to buy my first side-arm.

Gunbroker.com if no one hooks you up on here. Bought several off there with no probs. Setup like Ebay.

+1 for gunbroker.com

Sweet I will check that out. Are they less expensive there?

Offer is still out there if anyone needs someone to sell a less-expensive handgun to!

 

[Burton]

Also, if someone in this thread that knows a lot about guns, specifically handguns and wants to message me - I need help picking a low-cost pistol to buy and could use some guidance.

Send me a message!

i think you would be better off looking for a decent quality used gun rather than a low cost new one.

a used glock or smith and wesson M&P is what id recommend.

 

[Burton]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was hoping someone on here may have a decent used gun they don't use anymore and would be willing to part ways with it.

A used gun at a gun show is your best bet. In all honesty don't by anything new or used for less than $300. I've bought four used pistols at gunshows- glock 17 for $330 looked brand new, a Springfield xdm for $430, a kimber pro carry 2 for $500, and can't remember the price of the 4th.
The manufactures I listed can handle more rounds thru them than most owners will ever shoot.
There are other great manufacturers out there but you get what you pay for so don't be too cheap.
I work for a gunshop and we go to the local gunshows and I usually end up leaving owing my shop money b/c I always see a price I can't refuse.

just added an AR to the collection

What are you looking to spend Burton? Have your eye on any?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was hoping someone on here may have a decent used gun they don't use anymore and would be willing to part ways with it.

 

[Burton]

ehh, 300. Which I realize isn't really enough. With Christmas season here as well, I am even shorter on cash. I always spend too much on family and friends..

Bersa Thunder 9.... Not really heard of but good luck finding someone that owns one that doesn't like it... When I have the money I will be ordering one. They say they shoot just as well as S&W or the other top brands. Look them up, check out the reviews, I think it is exactly what your looking for. $380.

Kona you bastard! I am going to have to swing by your place when your at work and snag me a gun or two, maybe even try to haul that big ass box of ammo out too,

Simple, get a used Glock. I purchased my FIRST used Glock in 89. It was produced around 86. Don't know how many rounds through it before I bought it, but I have personally put more than 50,000 rounds through it. No problems, no parts, hell.... I still have never cleaned it. I put a little oil on it once in awhile, but haven't cleaned it yet. You should be able to get a police trade in for around $300

 

[konarider94]

that would suck, you wont get my handgun at least. ill let you shoot them though, i belong to the south kent sportsman club in dorr now. its about halfway to your place.

 

[dave_xb12r]

I still have never cleaned it

That hurts to read [sad]

 

[xtremelow]

Maybe in the winter when we go snowboarding we can just stop by my families property and shoot them there. I bring my pistol up to shoot it once in a while and shoot my dad's rifles too.

 

[SnyderJ21]

In my opinion glocks are too sloppy. They are reliable, sure.But inaccuracy is a scary thing for home defense. More of a plinking gun than anything else. Just my opinion though

 

[konarider94]

ive shot a glock in idpa before and felt it was quite accurate, i can not agree that they are a sloppy gun. i don't really like the angle of the grip on glocks, my natural point of aim is off with them. also not a huge fan of the trigger but that's an easy change.
