if you weren't in need of self-defense tools on a budget you cannot go wrong with anything made by Taurus. Any Taurus semi-auto or revolver will do exactly what you needed to do. They're also great guns to learn on if you're a first-time gun owner.
Taurus USA - Award Winning Pistols & Revolvers
Very value-added options available. Very much worth your consideration. I myself own a Canik. They are stupendously accurate. The triggers are phenomenal. And they're surprisingly sturdy. You get a lot for your investment. Would highly recommend.
Canik USA
Very unique and cost friendly options. If anyone needs a user friendly shotgun in the home I would recommend Kel-Tec.
KelTec
Another good option for those just starting out with firearms for home defense or concealed carry. Palmetto State armory is on the forefront of cutting edge firearms technology that happens to be reasonably priced.
Palmetto State Armory
Another great option if you're on a budget
Stoeger Industries
Good pistols from the oldest firearms company in the world. Proven reliability at a great price
Discover Beretta APX Pistols Cutting-Edge Design Versatile Handguns
SAR arms is a Turkish firearms company. Much like Canik they are known for being well made but cheaply manufactured. Which makes them a great budget-friendly option for anyone.
SAR USA
Decent options for a budget.
Kahr Arms
Reliable and reasonably priced. I have to mention the fact that it is so very comfortable to carry and shoot. Smith & Wesson is constantly making refinements to this design. Plus you can find it for roughly $400. It's a great gun.
SHIELD
This is a great starter pistol for anyone looking for a good home defense weapon. Easy to manipulate. Easy to use and easy to keep clean. It's reasonably priced at around $400. Would highly recommend.
Taurus 605 Poly Protector
This is a unique pistol. It has the ability to flex into multiple categories. It is a good gun for concealed carry purposes as well as home defense. If needs be it's a good gun to have in the backwoods. It's reasonably priced at $400. A cleaning kit ...
TP9 Elite SC - Canik USA
This is a fantastic pistol for under $300. I have owned several of them. Never had a malfunction or mechanical issue. It is a great pistol for the money. Plus it comes with three magazines. More shooting fun.
Taurus G3c
If you're shopping for your first home defense weapon or everyday carry weapon I would recommend purchasing it at Scheels. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Plus it's a great place to shop in general. Whether online or in person.
Billings SCHEELS
This is a full size pistol just below $300 in price. Yet it punches above its weight class. In all reality this pistol makes Glock look stupid for being as expensive as it is. I will personally guarantee that a G3 will run and keep on running. It's a...
Taurus G3 Models | Full Size, Compact & T.O.R.O Optic Ready
This is the type of pistol you buy when you want the most value for your money regarding a home defense weapon. It doubles as a shotgun and a Colt pistol. So it's plenty of power. Not to mention the fact that it's a reasonable price. Good all-around ...
Taurus Judge - 5 & 6-Shot 45 Colt / 410 & 454 Casull
Solid pistol choice in about the $300 range. CZ is known for making top-notch pistols. the reviews for this one in particular are amazing. I highly encourage anyone interested to consider the cz P-10 c for their concealed carry and or bedside gun. I...
