So cheap you can afford to stash one or a few in 30cal ammo cans with a box, or partial box of ammo to use as a 9mm or 380acp "liberator".
If you were so inclined you could thread the muzzle and turn it into a trailer park welrod.

Ruger's .22s - the 10/22 for riflemen and the "Standard" for the handgunner.

I had a Taurus85 .38spl Snubbie, I liked it. Was a good gun. I have considered buying another when they pop up from time to time but the Airweights aren't too much more expensive so unless I find a smoking deal I'd just hold out for the Airweight.
Although I tend not to think much of .38spl these days.....
My favorite budget guns are of the AR15 and Ruger American variety. Good tools for cheap. For carry guns I'm not so budget minded. If Glocks shot up to $1000+ I'd still have to have one....

I have alot of different carry senerios, from Shorts to Full on Seattle Winter. Lots of options, but, if I can proof a small stubby, I would carry it.

I have the 870 Express and that thing is GOOD! I would even consider it a SHTF gun

Just picked up a 590 (not an A1) new for $250 some months back.... that qualifies. That was a smoking deal, especially these days. I'm sure most considered the 500/590 to be a budget gun....

The 870 express is a good value. I have one in .410.
The original LCP. A great, dependable little. 380
Uberti and Pietta revolvers
GSG 1911 22lr. Full size 1911, but in 22lr
...and some h&r/nef handi-rifle and single barrel shotguns
Totally humble guns...no pride whatsoever, lol. (They just work)

I own both and I feel each are amazing quality tools, what puts mossberg over the top for me is a safety on top which can accessed quickly regardless of if one fumbles it up or not lol

I really hate to say it, but my NAA mini will probably win that, back when I bought it they were under $200, even after taxes. I’ve been told they’ve gone up a good bit but I really don’t pay attention to their prices now.
For some reason it’s a fun little gun, I don’t shoot it much but I don’t have many “budget” guns.

Oof, Security-series Rugers aren't "economy" guns any more. Even beat-up French police returns are going for $500 and high-condition guns are pushing $800.
Bersas are still a good deal for a new pistol, as are LCPs. The Beretta Pico is a steal at MSRP if you can actually find one.
The Heritage RR isnt bad, but for a couple bucks more the Ruger Wrangler seems a bit of a better value.

I would say my Ruger Mk.II is one of my favorite affordable handguns that I have. Extremely reliable and very accurate it's one sweet gun to shoot.
In a rifle it's another Ruger, this time my 10/22. Like my Mk.II, nary a problem with just about any ammo, it's so accurate I knew after the first time I had it out, I had to get a scope for it.
As far as shotguns go my Maverick 88 has the best bang for my buck as it's been durable, reliable, and very versatile with a spare barrel for it for hunting.
