Default How much is a real pistol?

I know nothing about guns. How much would a pistol, say a glock be?

It ranges bro, it depends on the condition if it's used or new. If it's new it could be anywhere between 200-500 bucks. But any other guns it also varies by brand.

I want to buy a Desert Eagle those are bad ass. Those are expensive though.

The words "I know nothing about guns" and "I want one" is a very scary combination of words in a conversation

Take a handgun safety course...PLEASE!

yes please and take a couple trips to the range

and try out several different ones, dont get a .357 or larger glock if you cant control it, its a really powerful handgun, maybe a smaller one

but dont count on us, talk with other gun owners and trusted dealers

I'd say a handgun from the 9X19 series is best, maybe a Glock 34 or 26

your lookin at about at least 500 for used Glocks

yeah seriously if he's gonna be a dumb ass and not take some courses you can really hurt someone and obviously kill someone. I've taken some courses it's fun. I used the ..357 magnum and it's a strong gun that's for sure. My favorite still is the desert eagle though.

I believe legally in most states you have to take one before they will allow you to purchase one but I may be wrong:dunno:

My friend just bought a Glock 9mm today. All told, he spent around $550 for the gun, hoster and 200 rounds of ammo. His family owns a few different guns so he knows something about them. It seems like most high quality pistols were around $400-$500. Seeya.

My Ruger KP97 was free. (thanks to a soon to be father in law who likes his daughter to be safe)

Otherwise it would cost around $450. It'll put a hole in ya if you aren't careful. Luckily my step dad is on the board for a gun club back home so I get plenty of range time.
