[QUOTE="RKM, post: 1833041, member: 552"] Geez........what a bunch of gun snobs! The OP wanted opinions on guns around $200 and all we can do is tell him to pony up more cash, get a shotgun, get an extra job, or blast any gun they consider "cheap". A budget is a budget....if all the guy can afford is 2 bills then that is what he is going to get. period. My first gun back in the late 70's was a Raven 25 auto because at the time that was the only gun I could afford. $39.95 brand new. I didn't shoot it much but it went bang everytime and I did feel safer with it on my night stand. Of course as time went on, I purchased higher end weapons, but only when I could afford it. Some of you have provided very good links to some good handguns for around $200, but they were shot down by others. Let's just try to help the guy out instead of blasting his budget. As for Hi Point failure, I've seen $900 Kimbers that couldn't get a full magazine through them. :soapbox: [/QUOTE]
