 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at 10 budget handguns that actually work. These are fine handguns, right around $350 on average. None of them exceed $400, and these are handguns that I actually own, so let's get to it. When Stoker came out with the STR-9, a lot of people took notice and they really liked the price. This is the STR-9C with an MSRP of $329. This has a 3.8 inch barrel, a little shorter than the original, and 13 round magazines. Deep cut slide serrations, nice trigger, breaks right around 6 pounds with a very short reset, but it has performed great. They now make them optic ready, and with that price I would say that it's worth it because my experience has proven that the STR-9 series is a fine series of handguns and I like this STR-9C. Many shooters wanted CZ to come out with a double stack subcompact 9 millimeter and they didn't do that, but they did come out with the CZ-P10M and upon its launch it was sold for right around $400, but they dropped that $100. Now the MSRP is $299. It's a staggered 7-stack magazine. It has a little bit of a heavier trigger compared to the other P10 models looking at about 7 pounds, but the reset is very short. A lot of people still love single stacks. They pocket carry them and people feel confident with CZ handguns and I will say this is a pretty nice shooting handgun at a budget price. Now nobody saw that coming, but the CZ-P10M it was a let down for many people, but others really enjoy it. With an MSRP of $199 the Caltech P17 has proven to be reliable for me. I have put several rounds through this handgun and 22 long rifle comes with 16 round magazines 3.8 inch threaded barrel. You can see it has a thread cap on there and then you could attach a can to it, but it has been very reliable and a lot of fun to shoot. I really enjoy this. It's the only Caltech I own. It's a hammer fired gun that is pretty nice with that very light trigger pull. 16 round mags $199. I think it's a steal for a 22 long rifle. That's a ton of fun. Not much you could say with the PSA dagger that hasn't already been said, but I will mention upon its launch this was selling for $300 and then they expanded the line and this one is currently selling for $250 and it takes Glock mags. This is a P mag 15 rounder has that hinged trigger there. They call that carry cuts or beveling in the slide. Not a bad trigger. I kind of prefer a little bit lighter. It goes right around six and a half, seven pounds, but overall people love the dagger and they really enjoy what they have done with it. It kind of took it out of the budget price, but the original is right there in the budget price. $250 is what PSA is selling this for now and I think it's a fine deal. When Ruger released the security nine, a lot of people loved the handgun and they especially loved the price, but I have never seen a 380 ACP handgun take off like the security 380. It instantly became a hit. It has an MSRP of only $389. You could pick it up a little less than that, but it's a hammer fired gun that is consistent with the nine millimeter, but they have those slide cuts on there, fiber optic front sight, serrated black rear sights, a very light rack with the integral barrel bushing right there that locks up nice and tight. Nice trigger pull. It's a hammer fired gun with a reset right there, so those who are looking for a soft shooting round with a light rack, not a super subcompact gun, you know, with a little bit on the smaller side, but it's easy to shoot, easy to rack, and it's priced right. Not a day goes by where somebody doesn't tell me how much they love their Taurus G3C and this is the original. They expanded the line with the G3X, the carry model with the longer barrel, you name it, but many people that I have found have stuck with the G3C. They like everything about it. They carry it, 12 round magazine, 3.2 inch barrel has a nice trigger, easy to disassemble. Now the current MSRP on this is $340. However, you and I know that you can pick it up for less than that. Some people have been picking it up for two and a quarter. A lot of people loved the G2C. The G3C offered a little nicer trigger and overall a reliable handgun that people feel confident carrying and it remains extremely popular. Just ask any gun store owner. They will tell you they sell a ton of these. When Car Arms first launched, people said their handguns were too expensive, but then they came out with the value series and the CW9 is one of its most popular models with the 3.5 inch barrel. It has seven round magazines. This one has a carbon fiber rubbery feel to it, but I've had it for years. I've kept it. I think that it's a phenomenal shooting handgun. Double action trigger pull extremely smooth, made very rugged and that's one of the things I like about Car Arms is they are made very strong, very well built, accurate shooter, three dot all steel sights. I like the way this feels. I like the way it shoots and with a going price right around 330 bucks, I think it's a fine deal. One of the best deals I think going is the A-Rex Delta Gen 2. This is the M model with the 4 inch barrel, but I have the X frame on here, which is a bit larger. It has 18 round magazines, but for 369, I think it's a fine deal. It has a very nice trigger with a short reset. Clearly optic ready and the flexibility that it has with the interchangeability with the frames, there's a lot you can do with it being that it's optic ready, nice trigger, good overall price and it's been reliable and it's a straight shooter. So I like what A-Rex did with this model. I had the Gen 1, now I have the Gen 2 and I'm very pleased with it. The T-SIS PX9 Gen 3 models are great. Now this is the higher end model called the Night Stalker, offers a ton, but the original PX9 Gen 3 looks like this and it shares many of the same features, more of a full-size handgun excellent trigger, nice magazine capacity. Love the trigger actually, a lot of people do, that's the feedback I've gotten and then they're optic ready and offers a lot for the money. You're looking at $340 for a T-SIS PX9 Gen 3 and the feedback I've gotten is that it's amazing. I love it. I dig this Night Stalker. I think this one is fine, but this one goes a little bit more. If you have a few extra bucks laying around, go with the Night Stalker, you won't be disappointed. The current MSRP with the Ruger Max 9 is $439. However, if you shop around for it, you can pick this up for right around $300. It has dropped significantly since its original launch. Twelve round magazines, they all come optic ready, a Tritium Fiber Optic Front Sight, Serrated Black Rear Sight, nice trigger pull and it just performed great for me. I've enjoyed the Max 9. A lot of people will pocket carry it. You know, I've got an optic on there. Some people prefer not to have an optic. You don't have to use it, but for $300, if you can get it for that, it's out there. I think it's a great deal and this handgun offers a lot for the money, especially at that price.
