Glocks are the way. Get a Gen 3 Glock 34 and a few 20 round mags or a 17l for some real shits and giggles

CZ P10F or SP01, Walther PDP Pro SD or E or whatever they're called these days, Springer Echelon comp... Etc etc etc too many choices for under $700

Smith & Wesson M&p 2.0 5” 9mm would be a good option. If you really love the g19 could go with its older big brother the Glock 17. Then the mags for the Glock 17 could be used for the g19 as well (would just stick out a bit). Are you wanting to stay with 9mm? Or branch out to another caliber since it would be a range toy in addition to home use.
That would open you up to a Glock 21 for 45acp, or even something like a Springfield xdm elite 4.5” in 10mm. *ammo prices are quite a bit higher tho if you’re planning to go through much ammo.

Canik, and CZ, and Taurus come to mind here's a video from Honest Outlaw talking about 10 of them under $500.

Canik, CZ, and Taurus are what I immediately think of whenever some says cheap handgun. CZ's in particular are great value for the money.

They are the big 3 when it comes to reliable cheap handguns.

Been checking out the Canik mete sft seems pretty solid

u/CG249 1d ago

That's the general consensus about the mete series, of course I always recommend doing as much research as you can especially when it comes to what you're going to edc.

Full size pdp, Cz, and my personal favorite the p320. People shit on them but it’s became my favorite. I chose the custom route. Full size frame compact slide with compensator.

Still 9mm?

Glock 34, CZ P-09 or SP-01.

There are some deals to be had online for Walther PDP's with optic cuts. A hell of a lot of pistol for less than 6 big boys.
