Can someone lists some guns for around 200 to 250 dollars

I would go with the hi point. Mine is the 45 model. I have had mine for about a year now and have put a good 1,000 rounds through it, mostly hollowpoints which feed wonderful. No ftf, no fte's, natta. Just lots of fun. It comes with a peep sight styled rear sight that does great for accurate shooting. I qualify AAA with 3/8 sized targets in pistol slihouette inside of 100 yards. Weird thing though is that brass ejects and throws sharply over your right shoulder and wings kinda close to your face. I would also have to admit it weighs a good 1.5 times a typical 1911 styled pistol and is sorta blocky but bad guys breaking into your house cant see well enough at night to comment on your ugly gun and I am confident it would not fail you in such a circumstance. 1911 clips can also be jimmy rigged to fit though I prefer to just buy extra factory clips. I know I can trust those to work instead of a garage monster.

I think im am going to go with a ruger p95

The P-95 is a decent choice. Ammo is common and inexpensive for a centerfire, it's totally up to the task of HD, and you can carry it should you feel the need to.

Don't forget to handle it before you buy it. They all fit your hand differently. The fit can mean the difference between it being shot regularly or collecting dust.

If you're tight on money for the gun purchase, then you're going to have to be thrifty when buying ammo to practice. You WILL be practicing with the new gun, right?
So, without knowing what you really seek, I'd strongly recommend a LEO trade-in in 9mm (9x19). Preferably a semi-auto which is a better HD design, and likely a 'gateway gun' to others you might buy in the future. More gun for the money than buying new, and much cheaper to run than anything with a larger handgun cartridge, or even most long guns unless they are near-antiques that eat old/cheap ammo that's often reasonably priced. But I don't consider a MN or some such a generally practical weapon.
Check gunbroker.com and CDNN (sp?) for such deals. Regardless, buying a new gun in this price range is a non-starter. Just nothing worth owning/keeping. But that doesn't mean there aren't many lightly used (if heavily carried) guns out there at your price. Find one, buy buckets of low cost ball ammo and head to the range. Finally, test it out with 200 rounds of one particular SD JHP and you're good to go.
Even if you had more money, I'd choose the same route but imagine that you could spend a bit more on that first 9mm semi. If you could swing it, find a used Gen2 or Gen3 Glock 19 (9mm). For the money, it's approximately perfect for learning. general use and it's hyper-dependable. Then follow the same process. Besides if you wanted to ever sell it, you would likely recoup all of your cash from the purchase.
Good luck.
