Star FIRESTAR .45, you could get them for about $200 for awhile there and these guns are still around.
They are by no means as perfect handgun - but they function well, concealable and are accurate enough for CQB work.

Star and Astra merged into one company some time ago and I think are out of business now.
Parts for the Firestars are still around - but you have to find the sources.

If some are to be believed, they suggest the Hi Point... but I'ld rather sing the entire score of H.M.S. PINAFORE butt-nekked in a public park before I'ld depend on a Hi Point for defense.

If you want a good pistol thats on par with the best of the best - you can find used HK USP .45s for sale for around 400. I saw one for 395. Thats BEST VALUE in my opinion.
Even if the USP is beat up - it is still a fantastic fighting handgun.
