S&W 3rd gen guns are a good buy still. Models 5904, 5906 in 9mm and many others in 40, and 45 are excellent choices. Check out gunbroker.
Makarovs are some of the most reliable, best built guns for the money on the planet. Please don't lump them in with Taurus.Forget Taurus or Makarov. Buy once, cry once. Otherwise, you will learn the hard way. I have seen too many people try to save a few dollars only to lose it testing the gun for reliability.

The S&W S.D.9 or S.D.40 are great buys in my opinion. Alot of people gripe about the trigger. But S&W will fix it free if you tell them it is rough & or gritty. These are accurate & reliable guns. And Hold a good amount of rounds, & will still conceal easily! They also feel great in your hand & are very comfortable to shoot! Also you can get them new at that price range. And it's a S&W made in the U.S.A.! Check them out! Just an old shooters thoughts! Good luck with whatever you pick!
Kahr CW9, and don't look back...
Why gamble your life just to save $100?
I would take serious look at Walther PPS in 9x19. I could not buy one because it was too large for my specific needs, but for inside pant waist carry that is the gun I would pick. It will cost <$350 but that is the only antipersonnel defensive handgun one would ever need.I have considered a Taurus pt145 but read lots of bad things
I have considered a Century Bulgarian Mak but worry about ammo availability
Looking for suggestions- thank you
And your point is...what?But, even though some of the L.E. trade-ins are fine guns, they are still used!
That is just your opinion, which you are entitled to. As I am mine. Yes there are alot of fine used handguns on the market . But they are still a used handgun not new! That was the very obvious point I was making. If you want a used handgun over a new one, that's your choice. I think that some of the other handguns mentioned in the $350 range new are also good buys. Just not MADE IN THE U.S.A.! I am sticking to my original suggestion of a NEW S& W., S.D. in 9mm or 40S&W . Just one old man's opinion! Good night.
