Revolvers: You can locate .38 Specials for a little less money, but the .357 is so versatile . . . And you can still shoot the .38s in one.
- -S&W K or L frame, blue OR stainless.
- - Ruger GP100, Security-Six or Service-Six
Autos:
- - Ruger 9mm - - A little clunky for my tastes, but very durable and reliable.
Glock 19 or 23 - -You may have to shop, but there are some for around $400.
- - Argentine FM High Power OR,
- - the Sistema 1927 .45 auto. This last may be a little finicky about which JHP ammo you use in it, so it bears testing.
Looks as if you want an all-around handgun. There are some smaller pieces, but there are pretty specialized toward concealed carry. Any of the above can be successfully concealed, but perhaps not as comfortably as the "belly guns."
You'll not go wrong with any of the above.
Best of luck - -
