I just stumbled onto my my mosin nagant m44 at the local gun store. got it for around $100. ever since then i've been sure that there is a handgun out there that comes with a similar deal. i've seen some in the past but there doesn't seem to be the same abundance as with the nagants.

know of any cheap handguns?

Dong's is where i got my nagant. that's the only cheap thing i've ever seen there. they don't like to do that, or be friendly to people for the most part.
Yup. They are pricey on alot of stuff....but they offtimes have things i cant find at other places.
Rude... heck yes!

Yet a still shop there from time to time.... lol

Medlocks had some kind of new cheap pistol that came in 9,40, and 45 a while back. I cannot remember the brand name but they were in the lower $300 range new.

Don't know that site, but in general Tokarevs look like a really nice handgun for the $$$, and I like my little FEG .32 for a plinker, though I have great trepidations as far as trusting it with my life against a determined attacker.
Makarovs seem pretty good as a bang for the buck cheap pistol too.

You should check out the Tokarev TT-33. Fires the potent 7.62 x 25 Tokarev round. Many Eastern Block countries produced these pistols. Romanian or Polish versions can be had for about $220. Mil Surp (corrosive) ammo is ~ 10 cents per round.

It is as rock solid at your Mosin and throughs a round on par with 357 sig IMHO.

Probably the Hi-Point. I've had the 9 for a few years now. It's an alright pistol, but I need some variety in my life.

had a .357 taurus for a while, sadly had to get rid of it cause i needed the $$$

There are a good many Tokarevs, Makarovs, Nagant Pistols and CZ-52s out there for pretty reasonable prices. And as DTulsa mentioned, the Hi Points. I've had a C9 for some time now and it's a pretty good weapon. It shoots every time you pull the trigger. After all that's what you really want. Some people say the Hi Points are cheap. I say they are not cheap but inexpensive.

Oh yea. Nothing is as awsome as an M-44 exept maybe a K-98. I love my M-44. Had it for years now.

the tokarev m57 gets my vote. excellent gun for the money. controls including safety located the same as a 1911. slightly longer grip and holds one more round than a standard tokarev. and check out the ballistics of the 7.62x25 :eek:
That's why the CZ52 is known as the flame belching hand cannon. The 7.62 Tok is one BA round.

I had a 52. Stupidly I sold it. Very accurate. Loud as hell. In the indoor range it was like a white elephant. After you pulled that trigger it was quiet b/c everyone else what looking around thinking "what the hell was that!"

Yea...awsome ballistics for the 7.62X25.

Get a Russian Nagant. I think they can still be had for around $79.00
They are absolutely awsome!
Especially their double action trigger pull.:eek:
Ya, I had one but hard to hold. It was designed to be used with thick gloves, being a Russian Army sidearm.
