Taurus PT-111 Generation 2, 9mm medium frame, striker-fired pistol with 12 round magazine. Universally available under $300, occasionally under $200.
Long, clunky trigger pull, but otherwise serviceable. Owners on their user group (Taurusarmed.net) are generally pleased with reliability and performance. Additional factory magazines available for reasonable price. Can also use certain SIG magazines. After market recoil spring assembly is available for about $35 to smooth out operations even further. |

IMO, the reason these guns are popular in the hood is the same reason FMJ is popular in the hood: it's the cheapest thing that goes bang! As for Tokarevs not being "Carry Guns" ..... I'd much rather have a Toke that reliably feeds HP ammo than something that costs the same or less that does not, and is more concealable and accurate, to boot! If it's gotta be under $300, it's going to be a Tokarev copy, for me. YMMV. |

The first pistol I ever fired was a Norinco 213 9mm Tokarev. I loved that gun. I love the thinness of the Tok as well. I personally wouldn't carry one because I have more suitable guns for that. I would probably stash it in a drawer and shoot it at the range. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk |

Picked up a new "updated" Beretta Pico for $160 last year. Absolutely reliable with HPs and accurate with the factory sights. Liked it so much I bought another and retired my LCPs.

Cabelas has been running these on and off for 199usd, I've seem them also for 179usd in the past. The shield is a better out of box pistol but I doubt you'll find those for 205usd again, but they do sometimes come up for just under 300usd. |

Jennings J22..... First shot reliable with mine. After that it's anyone's guess re further shots or a jam. Nice ones can be had for $80 +/-. .... J22 the classic "Saturday Night Special."

Spend a little time shopping CDNN's website, or J&G Sales website and it very rapidly becomes apparent that it is possible to get a quality firearm--even a new one--for under $300. You can even get under $200 if you're willing to be flexible.

Gun.deals is also a good enabler.

I know you are looking at bargain basement new guns. Before I would purchase a sub $300 new pistol, I would check out Police Trade in Glocks and Sigs. You will get a lot more gun for your $$$. They are normally maintained reasonably well, repaired when required, and not shot much at all.
