When threads like this come up, the recommendations tend to be the guns the posters chose and own or have owned. They chose them because they felt they were the best choice but have little or no knowledge of other brands. If their brand of choice costs more than the thread's limit, they always suggest to buy the gun they chose used. Since the great majority of guns made are very reliable, the choices mentioned will do a good job and everyone is happy (other than people who don't know how to handle, clean and operate a gun-it's amazing how the younger folks can do anything with a smartphone or computer and can't clean or load a handgun).

I like it when people respond by mentioning guns they have actually owned, and when it is also within the price parameters given by the OP. There's nothing quite like writing from one's actual experience, right?

About a year ago at gun auction near me, they had 50+ Police trade in Beretta 92FS pistols. All holster worn, some badly, but they auctioned off at $190 to $290. I know the auctioneer, so he let me field strip 10 or 12 of them and they all looked nice inside. That's what I would get if I needed a 9mm "truck gun".

Get yourself a used quality gun like a G19 or Beretta 92fs. Plenty of parts, accesories and mags available everywhere. I'd stay away from crappy cheap guns.

Ruger SR9C, no contest. But not a truck gun. A great firearm. One of the best deals out there in the gun world today.

Or the Ruger SR9 full size 17+1 for $311 at Grabagun & Buds. Nicer than the Security 9.

I picked up a used P226 in cosmetically rough, but mechanically sound condition, for $15 more.
Can not say it enough, used guns are fantastic deals. With patience and a little searching, $300 will get you a CZ 75, Beretta 92, a S&W 3rd Gen, or yes, even a Sig P series. And that's not scratching what you can find for a little less- like a Daewoo DP51 for example. I got mine for about $250. |

There have been a ton of good used police guns hitting the market lately and I would likely get one of those. I have seen the M&P, Sig & Glock lately. If new then the Taurus G2, Canik & S&W SD9, Remington R1 or Ruger.

I bought a Beretta APX for $369 a month ago. And, there was a $100 factor rebate. Even with the local FFL fee, it was less than $300 NEW!

I cannot speak for personal experience, other than shooting a few and knowing folks that have one, but one gun I would consider for myself as a "Truck Gun", is the High Point. A Truck gun IMO is one that will be in all kinds of environments, get beat up along the way and still function. And they have a lifetime warranty. My brother is a big CZ fan. But he will always tell me how the High Point just keeps putting the rounds down range. He is a avid outdoorsmens so the gun gets used a lot during camp and hunting trips. He tells me it will function very well when filthy.
I find the gun rather intriguing. Might just get one myself. Again Under $150.00, inexpensive mags +P rated etc. Just a suggestion. At under $150.00 it is a gun that I would personally look into given what you have said. There are some very nice guns available now in the $300 range. Many of these, I would prefer to keep in good shape and not use solely as a "Truck Gun". |

I'm in Canada so I'd get a Norinco NP-22 which is a Sig P226 copy.
