I've always felt like this was the most critical element personally.
Cost has never made me outright cancel a trip to the range, necessarily. I've been broke from time to time, but never that broke. But sometimes finances have been an occasional nagging voice in the back of my head.
It's nice to nip that problem before it even starts, and pick a common caliber to practice with and buy a shitton of it in bulk (before the next manufactured panic spikes ammo prices).
I'm sure it's far, far more valuable to be more practiced with a less effective round than to have a slightly more technically capable round and be a bumbling fuckup when shooting it.
I've been wanting to buy a 357 revolver for months now. I keep going to Nation's Gun Show outside of DC, wistfully eyeing the revolvers, and going home empty handed.
I think I'm going to nut up and buy something next time.

i wanted a revolver when i bought my first gun and i looked around for quite a while unable to find anything less than fuck-you collector pricing or desperate boomer scalping, but then after like a year of looking around suddenly every store was flooded with cheap tauruses and i bought a new one for like $400. dont just nut up because a good chunk of the gp100's and smiths i've seen for sale are 6/10 condition and not worth a $600 price tag let alone a $1000 price tag- but i am in the land of hillbillies
there was a thread on 4chan where some guy was complaining about the cylinder lugs on his brand new performance center s&w and a bunch of other people posted their revolvers and the smith and wesson ones were by far the worst. i think there was some kind of heinous quality drop off at smith and wesson that happened at some point and a lot of taurus hate is motivated by that or something because if anything the raging hunter series are probably the best revolvers on the market without going into meme bespoke shit

Taurus has put out a lot of crap, so they earned that reputation. S&W revolver quality has gone to shit as well. Some of the more minor issues that they have existed pre-Hillary hole, but they insist upon not improving anything, only slowly making everything worse, not the least of which is retaining the stupid internal lock.

I will say, the retail prices on their 8 shot revolvers are nuts. Those models are on the cheaper end and are still around 1200 retail. @_squall just go with the 1911, stick a 8 or 10 round Wilson Combat mag in, call it good. RIA makes cheap but decent ones, and they have ones in the WW2 GI setup if you're into that:
Now for a conceal carry gun, maybe consider a J frame revolver. Lightweight and foolproof, not to mention cheap on the used market. Easy to stuff in a pocket too.
Also I actually agree on the 45 ACP point. If you're stuck with 10 rounds, go big or go home. Stick in some Speer Gold Dot G2 +p hollow points, and whatever you hit is going to die.

It's more original than just telling him to pick a Glock. Also no, I don't think I will.

Your shopping list is filled with bottom-of-the-barrel trash and you can't even decide on that, I don't think you should be making decisions for other people.

I'm free to give a opinion pal. What he does with it is his choice. If he can afford that 8 shot revolver that was recommended, go for it. I gave some budget options. Mald man.

I thought those skiny glocs were single stack with like 10 or less rounds in the mag? Id trust my life with one of those over a 1911 or revolver any day lol.

Who said that?
Sure, everyone is, but not everyone's opinion should weigh the same. Now feel free to rate me autistic again (ironic IMO) for pointing out your low quality opinions.
That is another good option if he wants to min-max around the the round limit and slim size for concealed carry. Walther has the F series PDP as well.

You care about anime and have posted on this website over 20k times in the last two years. Maybe check your fire?
A gun with an MSRP above $499.99? No way you would ever own one of those.

their semi autos are not good, at least the pt-22 is hot garbage and the disposable 9mms are just a tier above saturday night specials. plus the finish on their revolvers is just flat out cheap, your choices are phosphate black or bead blasted steel and that's a big deal to people. The one thing i have to say that illustrates that taurus isn't retarded is that when they added a hillary hole they put it on the hammer so nobody got upset about it.
i will say every time i google stuff about tauruses i run into someone who is trying to fix some $200 gun, taurus wants them to ship their gun back and they refuse and do it, they try and repair it themselves, break the gun because they did something stupid, and get mad at taurus now refusing to help. i dont know how much of that is inflated expectations from boomers or actually poor service from taurus

a cheap PT92 isn't a terrible option, and RIA makes a 9mm 1911 pistol that accepts pretty much any aftermarket magazine. you can also find S&W semi-autos for reasonably cheap all things considered a used SD9 or 4567 (or be a man and get a 1006) is a pretty good deal, the 4567 might have a slightly higher ammunition cost, but they "min max" the magazine constraint, have a large knowledge base to draw on, spare parts are available and somewhat interchangeable, and have a very good track record and build quality. yes that includes the PT92.
the Steyr S40 might also be an option, similar feel to the S&W Sigma, modern design, although a bit expensive.
it's very difficult to beat a used LEO-trade-in Glock 22 or 23, and limited capacity mags and aftermarket is widely available and inexpensive.

1006's are like $2k collectors items now. Good luck if you need mags.
Plenty of obtainable 3rd gen 9mm Smiths still around tho.

Ruger and Magpul are making a gen 3 glock clone, might have FCU functionality. Being a Ruger and Magpul project it might be competitive with the PSA Dagger
I'm actually pretty sure it has FCU functionality because Magpul has an empty page on their site for "RXM grips"
Yet another gen 3 glock clone that hoodrats can illegally convert to full auto and kill each other with (although maybe not as the FCU might interfere with that, can you use a switch with an OZ9?)
Some kind of weird French HK416 modification, forward charging obviously and those slots are non Mlok oh and the French might be doing rifle grenades again
Shortened AK-12 Obr. 2020
Terrorists with Bullpup AKM in a Government building in Damascus (ignore the flag, moderate rebels)
Bullpup MAC Chassis
Daedalus Bullpup Glock
Rework of the Borzoi bullpup conversion to have a physical printed linkage to solve duarbility issues with the previous wire linkage
Black storm bullpup conversion
P90BLK 3D Printed .300 Blackout bullpup. Uses a BRN-180 bolt and is left eject only as the guy behind it couldn't figure out how to make a properly ejecting model. Feeds from P90 style mags
-23% more bolt travel allowing for constant recoil
-FRT/Super Safety compatible
-Uses standard AR barrels and handguards
-Top cover latch is an AR mag release button
-.308 Version is planned
-Initial version will have non Quick change barrel but a version that does have QC is planned, possible to swap some parts on a non QC upper to make it QC
-No dual feed
-right side, reciprocating charging handle
-Proprietary bolt carrier
-Significantly less expensive than an MCR or even Fightlite's "cheap" RAPTR belt fed.
