A S&W 4" 626 that was used by the Tacoma PD for $218. Not a screaming deal like some of the others here. But it came with Hogue grips and is in great condition.

S&W .357 626 revolver for $318. While this wasn't a screaming deal like some of the others here it was a good value as it included Hogue grips and a flawless pistol.

$15 for a Davis 22lr derringer.
A Davis Derringer in 22 lr that a guy sold to me for $15.00. It's not a very good gun, but it shoots and I thought it was a OK deal at the time. I still have it some where in my safe. It's almost as small as a NAA 22 lr revolver, but no where near as nice.

$325 for a used Ruger P-90. Which I got to shoot a grand total of 2 times before the wife appropriated it for her own use.

H&R Breaktop 9 shot .22 revolver, for $20 in 1974, perfect for wax wars (pulling the projectile from a .22 cartrege, replacing it with a lenght of birthday candle, and running around the ranch shooting each other)

The Smith&Wesson Model 64 I bought at a gun show three years ago for $200. It was a typical police trade in, carried a lot but shot very little. Talk about a keeper!

About 1962 by being an NRA member you could buy guns from the government delivered to the door.
I think one of each a year.
New GI 1911A1's for $17
New Springfield 03A3's and A4's for $14.50
(Redfield scope mount installed)
Used GI M1 Carbines for $20
The M1 Garands cost just a little more. I couldn't afford one.
I've still got those guns

The cheapest handgun I ever bought

The cheapest gun I ever bought
was a defender 22short revolver
for $ 5.00 and it works, in 2005.
I was at flea market and a guy picked
it up out of a junk bin and asked
the price, he said $ 5.00 and the
guy put it down, so I bought it.

The cheapest I ever sold a handgun go was a brand new CZ-52 for 1200 Marlboro miles.
Here's the deal: My sister in law's husband was always picking up Marlboro miles as they were on their daily walks. She always berated him for doing that and never sending them in for the Marlboro gear, but yet when he got ready to do so, she complained that the shipping was WAY too much money for it, blah, blah, blah.
So they were over at our house, and she started in about them, so I said, "Bring your bag of Marlboro miles over next time, and I'll trade you a pistol for them." I knew he had always wanted a handgun, but he could never bring himself to buy one, especially with his wife thinking that anything like that would be spending the kids' inheritance.
Anyhow, he did, I did, and she had to shut up and listen to him tell everybody how he got his handgun by ignoring her.
Cheapest was a Bicentennial marked Ruger .30 Carbine for $125 from a guy who had been working on the Alaskan pipeline, and could afford anything that struck his fancy, but when he got back down here, he had trouble adjusting his spending habits for the first few paychecks.

I got a no-name .22 revolver (blue, 4") once at a gun show.... it had trouble igniting the primer in both DA and SA, plus the empties (and even unfired rounds to an extent) were much tougher than they ought to be to extract due to 2 of the 6 chambers evidently being a bit too small. Very irritating. Paid $90 for it.
Tried to get a 'smith to fix things up; no luck.
Technically, it "worked".... but it was totally counter to the enjoyable shooting and understudy-to-centerfire-revo role that I bought it for. Eventually got a loan on it from a pawn shop for about half of what I paid and just kinda never went back for it. I guess I just don't have the lack of conscience to personally and willfully push a gun like that off on somebody in a private sale.
To this day I couldn't tell you which irked me more, the gun's performance or the wasted permit. The permits are even more of a pain to get now, and the quality offerings are fewer (& more expensive) than ever.

A POS RG .22 revolver for about 20 bucks brand new. What a worthless waste of a 20.

For $99 NIB, good little gun for the money, still works.

Glock 22. I paid around $550 or so with night sights.
The first gun I ever bought was a Glock 17 that I overpaid for. I was a noob and got it on sale for $640. Never again have I ever overpaid so much for a gun. And I never will.

The three free ones that I was given. Besides those the next one would be my Ruger MKIII .22LR , only about $340.

The things are accurate, amazingly accurate. I still have not figured out how a gun who's barrel floats around like the clapper in a bell when fitted can be so stinkin' accurate. That's the main reason I've kept this thing. It's a very useful pocket plinker and the 5" barrel knocks another inch off the 3" barrel's 3" groups at 25 yards.
