Can a pistol Under $600 be worth trusting your life on?

yes

$600 doesn't make this a good question, as mentioned early is this thread. Things would start getting interesting if they had said under $200 or something like that.

Ask this question to anyone who has an $800.00 Kimber Solo.

A SIG P250 Is a perfect gun to depend on and it is under $400.00, with the ability to convert to 4 calibers, 3 slide lengths, and 3 grip sizes. You can't do better than a SIG.

SIG makes great stuff, but the P250 has mostly been a flop. The SIG PRO 2022 is a much better option that barely costs anything more. A few years back (think its been a few years now) a lot of police surplus SIG P6's hit the used market in EXCELLENT condition for between $250 and $300 (think I paid $279 for mine). If you got in on that that was one of the best deals I've seen in a LONG time.

$115 Norinco 9mm I wouldn't trust my life AGAINST it.

I trust my life to a CZ 75 P-07 Duty that set me back less than $350 with a non discount price tag of $399. At my store Glocks are below $550, Beretta PX4s come in at around $499, Sig 2022s are $399. All of these are guns i would trust life to in any situation.

Ruger LCP, Ruger SR9, Taurus 740 Slim , Taurus 24/7 PRO DS .45, all under four hundred dollars all have been flawless in function. Yes, even the two dreaded 'Taurus' pistols have fired hundreds of rounds and go bang every time and hit what they're aimed at. I'd trust any one of these guns. The price of a pistol or revolver doesn't have a fixed relationship to it's reliability. Period. Kimber doesn't make a pistol under $600 and there have been problems with Kimbers. I suppose if concealability wasn't a major concern I'd trust my .45 best followed in descending order the lesser calibers. I'd prefer to trust my life to my Mossberg 12ga. than any pistol or revolver and it only cost around $200.

I would never own a gun that cost less than $600. I would never drive a car that cost less than $80,000. I would never fly business class, much less coach. I would never eat a meal that cost less than $50.

Where do you work? Your co-workers have more money than sense. I drive a Ford truck, fly coach regularly, seldom eat a meal that costs more than $50, and have 7 pistols that cost less than $600 each (3 of them didn't total $600). I need to get a job with you and your co-workers.

Any Hi Point will kill you just as fast as any Kimber or Les Brown.

I only have one handgun that costed over this mistical $600 threshold. A Kimber. And my Springfields and Ruger are every bit, and more, reliable.
