You really want "cheap" for something you want to defend your life with? GTFOH.

I guess you can be a normy and buy a Glock.

Don’t go too cheap

But reasonably priced and easy to carry as well, look into an M&P Shield

just buy a glock

or if you want to actually be prepared to defend you home, an ar15-pistol

all of the power of an ar15, shorter barrel and shorter stock make it ideal for close quarter scenarios

This is an option, if you have time and presence of mind to put in ear protection so you don't blow your eardrums shooting a short barrel 5.56 inside a house. short barrel 5.56 guns are stupid loud and create one hell of a muzzle flash from all of the powder that wasn't burned in time from a tiny barrel.

When you realistically think about it, any gun that is reliable will work.

If you are inside your house and have to not only draw down on some guy but actually shoot him, whats going to happen? You shoot him and the bullet just bounces off and he just gets mad and keeps coming at you?

Thats like zombie level tv stuff. If you get shot inside a house, its going to hurt and hurt a lot.

Sure, the guy might be drugged up but if thats the case you have more troubles anyway.

i am and for years have been a huge fan of the S&W M&P either 9mm or .40. some people will tell you to blindly buy a glock or some other brand but go to the range and try a few out. M&P fits my hands way better than any glock or other handgun ive tried. got a friend who likes glocks while i like M&Ps.

i CC an LCP2 but thats like a 7-8 shot and shot, not good for home defense.

Definitely doable, but even then, not something I'd personally do. Suppressed 5.56 guns are still above 140dB, it will still rock your ear drums in a house. Cans for 5.56 are great for signature reduction when you're outside.

I built a subsonic suppressed 300BO for my home defense. Expensive, but I don't have to worry about mine or my family's hearing from shooting.

Glocks 17 or 19 aren't too expensive. Around $500
PSA Daggers (Glock clone) Around $300

AR-15: A lot more for a quality AR plus decent optic. Ideal, but not a "best cheap option".

I like Model 10s for revolvers.

Glocks are the gold standard, but there are chit tons of Glockalike clones in the $300 range that will run fine. The basic Glock striker design is very reliable.

if you are going to blindly buy you first gun for home defense and aren't getting into guns as a hobby, Glock is the way to go. You can change the backstrap to fit any normal sized hand. and the odd grip angle is nbd because you are not conditioned to any particular grip angle in the first place.

Suppressed 5.56 are really 140db? Are we talking super small barrelled SBR 5.56 because that seems extremely loud with a can. That's what I would expect an unsuppressed rifle to make.

I have a friend who just ordered a suppressor and he said he will still probably still use hearing protection, but he said it was borderline whether he needed to or not.

Ermox Xfire looks interesting, but I wouldn't buy one. Not proven and questionable ergonomics. Feel makes a big difference to me.

I wouldn't go cheap on this kind of thing. Glock and M&P are both known for their reliability

Shotguns are the way to go for home defense. You don't have to be as accurate to do damage. And their scarier than ******* handguns.

If willing to put in the time, find something you like.

If you want to just buy something and keep it locked up and hopefully never use, get something like the Taurus Judge, which shoots 45 or 410 shotshell. Load it up with the 410 and its a mini shotgun, just aim in general direction and you'll be fine.

a 410?get real grampa.home invaders will kill you before you can load that single shot shotgun.thos are made for skuirrels not people!lol

I’m curious to know if there are actually cheap gun brands now. Like are there known brands on par with great value and stuff like that?

Because I know $3-500 will get you a quality Glock or SW piece, which seems cheap to me for a gun. Are there really guns you can buy for under $200 or so?

One of my friends has a Taurus G2C he got for $200-$250. I actually asked him about the price and stuff but he says it's never jammed or given him problems. Personally I'd get a glock 19 or 43x but he's former military and seems to know what he's talking about.

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.
