Get a Mak, they are on slickguns.com, from several dealers today and yesterday for mid 2's. They are much better choices than most other guns mentioned. The Lcp is nice but no ware as accurate or powerful with less rounds than the Mak, It is about 25-26 oz. , so it's twice as heavy as the LCP, but it's a lot more gun.
Taurus is acceptable if you get a good one, and I never had a bad one, but again the 9mm 9x18, mak is a better gun, more accurate and more rounds with 9 total.
If not that then a Taurus 705, in 357 going for $288, samd place or a 6 shot Rossi, around the same price in most local gun shops. The Tactical store in Ft Pierce has them, "didn't ask price", but you should be under $300.00. Good luck
