Radom p-64 9x18

 

[Tula47]

Rohm 22 short

Llama 9mm 1911 sort of gun ... cheapest and worst gun I have ever owned. Safety spring plunger was made out of plastic and it split (had to be replaced with a metal one), thing was a jamomatic, and it would cut you open during a field strip. Sold it off to a pawn shop and never looked back.

My first handgun was a SCCY when they first came out. To this day its the least I've ever spent on a handgun. I bought it from a local deputy for $190. I think that's still around
$10 less than the price of a new one today.

I've never owned what I would consider a "cheap" handgun. I do own a few I would call "inexpensive," including a Bersa Thunder 9mm and a Ruger LCP.

In the early 80’s Ruger Security Sixes $150. I really miss the good old days.

I once owned a Davis .380. It was $90 brand new. I also owned a KelTec PF-9.

Guns that I have purchased for under $200? Ruger LCP, An old lend/lease revolver in .38S&W, FEG HiPower, Model 85 Taurus. The only one I still own is the LCP but now it wears a Crimson Trace and Hogue grips.

I've owned three Davis derringers, I sold them once I could afford a Bond Arms. I also bought a Davis .380 from a neighbor once for $50, I later sold it for $80. I never fired it. Now the least expensive gun I own would be my Ruger LCP 2, which is a much higher quality gun.

 

[chezuki]

Charter Arms “Undercover” .38 special snubby. It was my mother’s carry gun long before I was born.

 

[churchmouse]

Davis derringer in 38 special. Pocket gun. 40 lb trigger pull and sometimes both would touch off. Yowza that was a treat.

Davis derringer in 38 special. Pocket gun. 40 lb trigger pull and sometimes both would touch off. Yowza that was a treat.

This was also my cheapest gun ever. Even though it didn't have a safety, it could probably have been carried cocked since the trigger pull was so heavy. If my memory serves correctly, mine measured at 22 lbs.

 

[halfmileharry]

Davis Derringers, FIE Titan, RG .22 revolver, and Marlin 60s back when they were $45 at K-Mart. I know the Marlin 60 Glenfields aren't handguns but thought I'd tell my age a bit on cheap guns.
One of my first handguns was a Colt Detective Special. $60 bucks used at a local gun shop

I was just kidding as to the 40#s but man it felt like 40

 

[Brad69]

Ruger LCP’s are “cheap” guns!

 

[Usmccookie]

taurus 24/7 oss tactical. Not a bad buy at 200 otd.

 

[jndturner]

Tangfolio Giuseppe .32 ACP. Was my first handgun bought it at a show in Kansas for about $125. I think it was a GT 32

 

[doddg]

In old, so this input is probably invalid in this context, but I bought a US Army 22LR semi-automatic for $20 at a shop in Searcy, Arkansas in college in 1973 or '74. (must have been a "trainer." Don't remember the manufacturer, just that it had U.S. Army engraved on it.
I was just married and lived off campus.
I loved that gun (so accurate) and wish I'd have had the sense to keep it.
My wife could hit tin cans with it and I always was so proud!
Alabama girls could do that sort of thing!
I regularly bought 22LR revolvers for $20-$25 dollars at that time.

Jennings .380
Shot very little before it **** the bed.
Chopped it up and trashed it.
