My "best value" pistol is a S&W 659. High quality, all stainless, basically unbreakable, reasonably accurate 15 round 9mm. I think I paid $400 for it new - this was decades ago. It still looks 98% and has been well used over the years. Never breaks and I can't recall it ever jamming.
Several years ago, I used to see these for about 350-450. I just saw one on Gunbroker for $600.
