As gun buffs many of us are use to spending several hundreds of dollars for a nice handgun and much more than that for a collection of guns. The price of some handguns easily reach and exceed $1,000.00.
However for many folks the price of handguns can put them out of reach especially when raising a family with the car needing new tires, one of the kids needing braces and the house needing repairs.
I recently realized that 6 of my last handgun purchases all cost less than $300.00 each. So what kind of handguns and how high of quality are they?
Pietta 1873 .357 Magnum, S&W Model 10 LEO trade-in
CZ-82, Bulgarian Makarov, Polish P-64 all 9x18
The revolvers are ideal for home defense and range use. The Pietta in .357 magnum also makes it a handy companion hunting gun.
The Makarov and P-64 appear to be new unfired condition with slight wear on the finish from laying in the box for several decades. The CZ-82 is typical import with the paint type finish peeled off on the slide. The Makarov and P-64 are well suited for concealed carry and the high capacity CZ-82 is suited for home defense and range use. It is about the size of baby Glocks so it can also be used for conceal carry.
All five of the guns are time tested proven designs and are in excellent mechanical condition. Most importantly I brought all of them for less than $300.00 each.
