i want a used handgun for about $300. anyone got any suggestions?

**Tren Bull** · 04-01-2006, 11:48 PM

a few months ago, i thought that i needed to save every dollar i earned for buying gear, but ive found a very affordable place to get gear, and now ive got some extra money, so im thinkin il get another handgun. anyone know of any reliable and preferably accurate handguns that are affordable?

**~fuelforfire~** · 04-01-2006, 11:50 PM

my smith and wesson 9mm was cheap, but i guess it depends on where you live.

**Myka** · 04-01-2006, 11:53 PM

are you a collecter/user/both?

**Tren Bull** · 04-01-2006, 11:54 PM

my brothers, i found something that looks pretty apealing. its a replica of a colt 1911, but its made by norinco. looks just like the colt model. its going for $355 right now. anyone know anything about this model?

I know you should not be in posession of a handgun while on Tren

**Tren Bull** · 04-01-2006, 11:57 PM

damn, check this out, its a street sweeper chambered in 410. thats a small caliber though, id rather get it in 12 gauge

oh its ok, ive had my glock and a few other guns for years and ive never done anything bad with them

**Tren Bull** · 04-01-2006, 11:59 PM

heres something id really like to get, but i cant cause its illegal in cali. too bad, cause its pretty cheap, and sexy as hell

**~fuelforfire~** · 04-02-2006, 12:04 AM

tren i got one of those!

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:06 AM

ok, i found 2 pistols sold together for pretty cheap. heres what the owner has to say about the guns

These are two Hi-Point semi-autos. One is chambered in 9mm and the other in 380. Each has a 3 and one half inch barrel, polymer frame, last round hold open, chamber observation port, 1911 style magazine release, 8 shot standard magazine, adjustable 3 dot low profile red dot sights (the 9mm and 380 now feature a HI-VIS Yellow front sight), grip extension on magazine, magazine lock-out safety, extra ghost ring sights, trigger lock and a LIFETIME WARRANTY to make this THE BEST 9mm/380 handgun buy on the market!!! Both guns shipped NEW IN A FACTORY HARD CASE. The bid price is for BOTH GUNS!! Please check my other auctions!!

this is pretty tempting. too bad i have to wait for a little while before i do this

you got a tec nine? damn, im jealous. i really want one, and a mac 11 also. that would be cool

**~fuelforfire~** · 04-02-2006, 12:10 AM

yeah man, never used yet though

**Myka** · 04-02-2006, 12:10 AM

Trenbull I know its nice when you find out you have extra money but be sure and shop around plenty

dont buy anything too fast

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:10 AM

but then again, i dont know about this double bundle. these guns might be cheaply made. maybe i should wait till i find a nice stainless .357 or .44 mag revolver, and bid on it like 30 seconds before the auction ends. haha, that would be cool. id get a good deal that way

yea exactly. i need to find out exactly what it is that im buying before i send my money to anyone. i want something that is reliable and will not jam or blow up on me.

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:14 AM

jesus, check this out. its a .45/410 gauge shotgun pistol. running .410 shotgun shells in this would be bad ass. i doubt i could get this legally in california though

**~fuelforfire~** · 04-02-2006, 12:15 AM

wow thats pretty cool

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:17 AM

oh my god, check out this combo. its a glock .40 cal, and a springfield 1911 for 800 bucks. damn, thats unbelieveable. unfortunately i dont think i can afford 800 bucks though.

**BOUNCER** · 04-02-2006, 12:20 AM

Tren I seen this, and thought of you....

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:23 AM

i could get a beretta 92F for about 400. thats not bad. i know for a fact those are good reliable guns too

**~fuelforfire~** · 04-02-2006, 12:23 AM

took me a second to get that one bouncer lol

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:23 AM

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:28 AM

well my brothers, im leaning towards the 9mm beretta 92 f. itl probably be that or a stainless revolver if i can find one.

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:36 AM

damn it, glocks are pretty expensive, even on gunbroker. it looks like il have to wait before i buy another one of those. oh well, i suppose id rather get something else anyway

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:39 AM

oh sh_t, check this out, its a used s&w .44 mag for 500 bucks. usually those things retail for around 1000 bucks

**firmechicano831** · 04-02-2006, 12:49 AM

nice gun, I'd like to get one too. Maybe a really nice 45mm.

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 12:51 AM

hell yea, the .45 auto is a fun caliber to shoot. i already have a glock 30 (which is the compact .45) im thinkin il either get a revolver (preferably an s&w) or a beretta 92F. id be happy with either guns.

yea i love collecting and shooting guns

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 01:00 AM

man, what the hell is this? i checked out beretta's homepage, and it said that the 92F doesn't sell for less than $850. thats bullsh_t, i can get brand new 92Fs on gunbroker for $400.

**Tren Bull** · 04-02-2006, 01:01 AM

im thinkin a 9mm might be better than a .44 mag cause then i can take girls out shooting, and i wont have to worry about them hurting themselves with the 9 mm. i dont think id hand a .44 mag to a pretty girl unless i knew she for sure knew what she was doing.

355? that's an AWESOME price dude

**MAXIMA5** · 04-02-2006, 08:47 AM

I love my HK USP Compact .40

with interchangable .357 SIG barrel
"Hostile Environment" Machined steel Slide
Ext. magazine grip

$600-$700 range.

Had to invest in this because my piece of $hit llama .45 misfires

**GQ-Bouncer** · 04-02-2006, 09:09 AM

There was another good thread about this, but then got whored up into a .45 vs 9mm debate

honestly, if i lived in America, the only reason i'd want a cheap handgun is to plant it on someone who came into my house & I shot

**MAXIMA5** · 04-02-2006, 09:12 AM

Good idea bouncer... My llama's not registered. hmmmm

**spound** · 04-02-2006, 10:20 AM

You can get a NEW Taurus Millenium Pro for around 300$

**diezell** · 04-02-2006, 02:01 PM

id say go with a taurus, they can be found pretty cheap and there not all that bad

**stunt954** · 04-02-2006, 02:34 PM

Gear and Guns would never mix with me... I cant even drive in traffic without wanting to pop one in every head that got in my way... I envy the self-control people ...

**~fuelforfire~** · 04-02-2006, 03:02 PM

haha nice there stunt, and tren get the .44 magnum by smith and wesson, nice guns i tell ya

**Teabagger** · 04-02-2006, 04:35 PM

hey tren ...I'd stay away from hi-point..not very well make weapons. Stay with beretta, tauraus, colt, smith, glock, hk, but, the norinco .45 is exactly like the colt. the chinese make them...its as good out of the box as a colt. many guys buy the norinco then jazz em up with sights, a trigger job, larger beavertail, etc...stuff they will do with a 600.00 Kimber.... have fun shopping and good luck.
