hey guys, i'm looking to buy a hand gun, and i don't know alot about guns.

I'd like it to not cost alot. Before i get the "just train you don't need a gun" i do train, but i still want a gun, just in case.

is that a good gun? ideal i would eventually like to spend alot more on one, so right now, 300-500 is prob the range
 
At 300 to 500 dollars why buy a cheap handgun when you can get a decent one at that price. Cheap handguns tend to jam more and not last as long. Then you are out of $500.

i didn't know what a "cheap" range would be. i'd rather only spend a few hundo, but if i can get a good one for 500, i'll prob do that.... are there really cheap ones like only a couple of hundo???
 
Go to a gun show they usually have good deals, plus no two week waiting period.

well just to give you a general overview..

HK
CZ
SIG
Glock
XD
Kimber
Les Baer

are the highest rated weapons on that site, with most of the user reviews coming in at 4/5 and 5/5 stars.

HK
SIG
Kimber
LEs Baer
usually run above 700

Glock
XD
400-600

CZ
300-400

I have personally used each weapon
CZ 75
XD.40
Glock m22
Sig 229/228/220/equinox/1911

Kimber Sub/Com 1911

Les Baer 1911

HK USP.40/.45
HK P7
HK MK 23

and they are all fantastic.

CZ and XD are incredible guns, and a steal for the money.

I personally like the HK line, but they get pricey. So if you are looking for an inexpensive weapon that isn't "cheap"...go with one of the two suggested.

I'm in california, but that "CZ" seems like a good deal, do you have any tips on buying one?

If you want a cheap handgun that will never break, easy to clean, and will fire every time and never jam, with enough power to shoot through an engine block, then put your money on a Smith and Wesson .357 revolver.

Seriously. Revolvers don't jam, they have less moving parts so you'll have to run it over to break it, you can fire .38's (a weaker round with less kick) to practice and .357's for business carry, and they're really cheap.

You can get them with small barrels (bigger kick but easier concealability)

or bigger, dirty harry style.

You'll thank me later if you buy one.
