$250 for a handgun
$200 for any rifle or shotgun
What are you willing to trust your life to with?

Polish Makarov
Maverick 88
This is fucking better than your dumb meme posts you fucking faggots.
>>34166625
If this is your budget maybe the shooting sports are not for you.
>>34166665
>shooting sports
>sport
Owning a weapon is not a fucking pass time.
>>34166679
Yeah it is
Fuck off with your no fun allowed bullshit
>>34166700
Any fat faggot son of a bitch can pull a trigger. Call of Duty isn't a sport, neither is firing a weapon.
>>34166707
You are a massive faggot.
So, you're telling me that the only time you shoot your gun is at a person in a defensive situation? Like, you've never shot paper and said "wow that was fun"? Do you hate trap, skeet, ipsc, 2ga and 3ga?
You're a stupid retard
>>34166732
I fire weapons for fun. I also use my knives for fun shit. I'm sure Roman soldiers back in the day had good fun with their spears, bows and swords.
It wasn't a sport. It's just owning something and using it. There's nothing special about it. When I play with my fucking dick I don't call it a sport and organize a fucking league.

>Makarov
>under $250
Where
>>34166752
Do you consider 3 gun "dynamic tactical readiness preparedness training"?
kys you pedantic faggot
>>34166791
Have you and your shooting teammates at the "shooting range" Stadium ever tried turning your "sports equipment" on yourselves and pulling the goddamn trigger?
You'd get first place in my books.
>>34166665
I doubt OP is trying to get into competition shooting for under $450. The title is literally "Defense on a budget"
>>34166625
>Handgun
Taurus TCP
>shotgun
Used pump. Mossberg 500's go for $125-$200 regularly used.
>rifle
Savage 64? I can't think of any sub $200 rifle
>>34166752
Organized shooting sports have existed since gunpowder. You declaring that shooting sports don't exist because somehow it doesn't meet your definition despite being ten times more skill based than grown men playing with a fucking ball doesn't make it so. If shooting cannot be a sport then the only thing that can be is motor racing.
>>34166625
Pic related.
I own one and it's the best piece of shit gun that I've ever purchased. I kind of got it as a goof, but unlike a Hi Point, it's concealable and doesn't look like a dog turd. Also it's reliable, go figure.
go find a mossberg 500 /thread
>>34166823
Do you trust Taurus after this? Skip to 1:15

>All guns are for defensive purposes only rrrreeee
Pic related is sports equipment. You use it to shoot targets better than other shooters. It's not a weapon until you choose to use it as such, like a baseball bat.

Guns are like cars, there is nothing special about owning a car, you own it for a normal everyday practical purpose, you can also have fun driving and do sports with them if you like because some people like that.
Now both of you go shoot off your balls
>>34166857
Is that the TCP? No?
>>34166844
RRRREEEEE CARS SHOULD BE USED JUST FOR GOING FROM DESTINATION TO DESTINATION AND AT NO POINT SHOULD YOU HAVE FUN RRRREEEEE CAR RACING ISNT A SPORT RRRRREEEEEEE
>>34166844
It's not about skill. Shooting doesn't have to be a sport, but athletes play sports.
That arguably makes it better. A 7 year old can compete with a 25 year old who can compete with a 75 year old.
It's not a sport, it's arguably better because of it.
>>34166625
Armscor M200, it does what it needs to in single-action, and at point blank you can double-action it well enough to matter (the DA pull is pretty heavy).
It's ugly, rough, and heavy, it's not even rated for regular +P .38 Special, but it works and holds up well enough, and since it's heavy (by being all steel), you could smack someone with the fucking thing if a situation really calls for it.

La di dah!
>>34166679
>>34166700
It can be either or both, you fucking mongonauts.
>>34166700
OP literally said "what do you trust your life with". He clearly is looking for a defensive weapon. Go infect something else with your autism.
>>34166881
I understand that cheap companies will failure to fire, but accidental discharge? I don't know of I'm ready to trust Taurus again so soon.

Grab a used LCP or something and a budget Turkish shotgun.
Save up an extra $50 for a Ruger American pistol, used police trade guns or canik or wtf they're called
Used pump or single shot 12g

>neither is firing a weapon
I know I'm being trolled, but a weapon is only as deadly as the person using it. If you don't want to take the time to become proficient you shouldn't even bother. Also if you're that poor the easiest way to deal with potential threats is to get a job so you're away from the trailer park most of the time.

Pic related, but obrez'd

>pass time
*pastime sweetie.
It is if you dont live in some nigger infested ghetto.
>>34166782
If you look up 'surplus' on Gunbroker, you get a large number of Polish Makarovs and Israeli surplus that were recently imported. They're going for fairly cheap.

anuone here have PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with the Remington rp9?
CDNN flyer has them for 250 new, but MAC shit all over them in their review and i just don't know
>>34167472
MAC aside, do you really want to trust a pistol from a company that just made another pistol that was widely reported to fail at doing this and that, on top of distressingly common out of battery detonations?
On top of all their other bullshit and shady faggotry.
