WTB Pistol or Revolver for $150 or less

[TXC1500]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a lower end pistol or revolver (Hi Points are okay). I will be taking my CHL class this summer and unfortunately I had to sell my Glock last semester to pay for college expenses. If you happen to have something for sale please feel free to send me a PM. Thanks in advance.

Area: Houston
Price: $150 and under
Contact: PM

Are you settling for a Saturday night special just so you have something to shoot in the CHL class? Why not borrow a gun (the instructor may even rent guns), then buy what you really want once you get your CHL? These days it's taking about 2.5-3 months to receive the actual license in the mail.

You know you can only carry a revolver if you qualify with a revolver, don't you? If you qualify with a semi-auto, you can carry semi-auto or revolver. I would follow Alex's advice and rent a semi-auto to qualify for the CHL and then look at buying something later when you have the funds.

Borrow or rent.

Good chance a $150 gun won't function enough to get through the short qualification strings.

My instructor at Sportsman Outlet in Humble handed everybody that had a revolver a Glock to take the qualification with. He had about 4 or 5 pistols in his bag. Like alexrex20 said, rent one from the range or borrow one from a friend.

Wait, can he still use a gun if it's not registered in his name?

Only if he has a BOS......

I took my test with a gun that wasn't registered.

Then you falsified govt documents and your CHL is null and void.

(you really need to recognize sarcasm when presented )

You know. There are more and more people around Texas that came from states where gun owners and child molesters need to be registered. They honestly may not understand that a 4473 is not a registration, yet. We need to be nice, and introduce them to gun trader sites where they can buy a nice used gun in the supermarket parking lot by having a Dl and promising they are not criminals. Often even less. I love Texas.

Seriously, I wonder why someone would pay to get a CHL if they can't afford to own a handgun...

Doesn't Texas issue you one of those cool little badges?

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!!!!!

Let this be a lesson. Stay active and get to know folks here. Then borrowing a gun would be no problem. Specially while there are so many of us in your area

Here's a Rock Island Armory 38 spl for $160. If you're on a budget then borrow a semi for the test and get something cheap but reliable like this to carry.

Armscor Precision ROCK ISLAND ARMORY M206 38 Sp. For Sale at GunAuction.com

Here it is again. $220, full price, brand new. I'm sure you could find a used one in your range.

Saw one at the gun show yesterday, they always make me chuckle!

This.


TXC1500, I'm assuming you drive a Chevy 1/2ton. While I agree with your purchase in a Chevy, I can't say I agree with your decision in the 2WD instead of a 4x4. With that said, come out to our Houston area get-togethers and get to know us. I'd gladly let you borrow one of my guns to qualify for your CHL.

I inherited the Chevy from grandparents (I don't plan on ever getting rid of it) so I didn't have much of a choice in picking the drivetrain (K1500 would of been nice lol). I'll try and make it out to some stuff this summer, however I spend a majority of my year in New Orleans since that is where I attend school.

Thanks for the help and suggestions.

I wouldn't expect you to make a 300 Mike trip for simple range meets. Look at your join date and then your post count. Stay engaged

You could probably pick up a hi-point 380 semi auto for around $150 brand new. My LGS had them all day long at that price. Now I'm not going to recommend it as an ever day carry weapon, but it would get you qualified.
