Best <$200 pistol you've ever purchased

Featured Replies

I have a pistol permit to burn in the next few months but I'll be on a decently tight budget the next few months with the holidays and upcoming trainings.    Just want to see what people have picked up on the cheap.

Yugoslav Tokavev

No personal experience but I've been eyeing up the 9mm tokarevs that are in that price range. Reading online they seem to be sold

Best <$200 pistol you've ever purchased?

Let's see ...

How about my new in box S&W 17-3  6"bbl 6shot for $159?

You should call Mr. Peabody about using his WABAC Machine to take you back to 1976 :onthequiet:

 

Seriously, my HiPoint .45acp pistol (which also doubles as a bludgeon when necessary) comes in under your budget and goes bang with bigboy bullets everytime you squeeze the trigger.

I know I specified pistols but is there any common chambered revolvers in this range? Even used?

I bought 2 S&W Model 10s, mechanically excellent cosmetically very good, for $125 each last year. Also bought a 1944 Walther PP in 32, nickle plated and had the Nazi markings buffed out so no collector value for $150. It has some pitting and is a bit ugly up close but looks good 5' away. These were private sales and that's where you find the best bargains.

 

I also got a post war commercial 1934 Beretta from Cheyenne Mountain a few months ago for $200.

CZ-52

 

Of course I've replaced the firing pin and the slide stop but it would shoot with the originals.

Bought a Beretta Bobcat 22lr 20+ years ago at Rays Sports Shop for $187.   It was one of the very first compact handguns for concealed carry.   Very picky about what ammo it likes but it was an unusual gun at the time for it's size.  Everybody makes a sub compact now.

I am partial to my CZ-82 which I got from AIM Surplus for $190. I put an additional $159 in hard chrome from Mahovsky, and $90 in Marschal grips. It is a great shooter and very accurate.

I'll have to go with my Kel Tec PF9.  That gun went from being the redheaded stepshild among my Berettas to the gun the gun I choose for nightstand duty over a 15-shot 92FS and the gun I choose for carry over a softer-shooting NANO.

Old Ruger P85..big and built like brick house but fun to shoot..

When I lived in Ohio (during college) I bought a 9mm Astra A-70. Loved that little thing!

 

Bought it at a gun show on my 21st birthday with a bunch of other stuff for $200. (Astra A-70, 2 spare mags, range bag, 4 boxes of ammo, cleaning kit, big bottle of Clenzoil, eye/ear protection and maybe even some other stuff.) Bought, paid for, and shooting in less than an hour. Best birthday ever! 

 

Then I graduated and I sold it to my roommate before I moved back to NJ.

I bought a Chiappa .22lr six shooter a couple of months ago for $159. Man that thing is fun to shoot!!!

Polish p64.

 

 

That s.o.b. goes bang every time. Damn accurate too.

just picked one of these up

Do yourself a favor and get on wolff's website and buy the strongest recoil spring they make and the weakest mainspring.

thanks for the info

I just bought a PX4 9MM Sub Compact, 200 rounds down the pipe for $75. muwahahahahahaaaaaa!

 

Here's the deal:

PX4 Sub Compact

800 rounds of ammo

3 holsters

$425

 

So figure $250 for the ammo and $100 for the holsters, leaves $75.

 

Correction:

I just looked up the holsters that are included:

Crossbreed mini-tuck $100

Fobus Paddle $30

Tauga belt holster $30

 

So, $160 worth of holsters brings the price of the PX4 to.....................$15

That's thievery

I would agree, but that was his asking price.  He probably would have taken $400, but I would have felt dirty, and not in a good way.
