9mmBut Pistol Question

LEO trade in's usually go for about that much. I see lots of glocks and S&W in our LGS.

Between $300 and $500 you've got a ton of options.

For new guns, the vast majority of polymer 9mm's on the market will come in at under $500. Glock just barely breaks that (though used they're well inside that range - I paid $265 for my Glock 17 used), and Walther might be a bit higher, but you can get new guns from S&W, Ruger, Kahr, Keltec, FN, CZ, Caracal, Springfield, and several other manufacturers for under $500.

Just personally, I think a good "Dual purpose" gun for around the house, concealment, and some range use is the Ruger SR9c. Runs right around $400 and not only has a compact grip 10-round mag for concealment, but they also include a full-sized 17-round mag with a grip sleeve that you can use for range use, home defense, etc, that gives the gun a full-sized grip. Of course if you want you can get the same thing with a Glock 26 and a separately purchased G17 magazine + sleeve as well if your preference runs that way.

I am wishing to purchase a new 9mm S/A for general protection and concealment. In the $300.00-500.00 range. Is there anyfeedbacks on a Pistol of such. I would like it to be a excellent gun. But I may be a little underpriced on
what I would like to spend. Or would I be better off maybe finding a used one at some Gunshop

By any chance are you from lakewood ohio?

Gen 3 Glocks from reputable retailers like Glockmeister run at $499. I am sure you can find them even cheaper if you wait. It's just the matter of picking the frame size that fits your needs .

For the first gun I would buy new.

S&W 5906s can be found from CDNN for $300 plus shipping and fees. My brother bought one and it shoots like a dream. I'd like to get myself one soon.

Has to be single action?
