Save up another $75 to $90 clams. You can do that. Go to gunbroker tonight and search for smith 5904 5903 5946 or a used sigma (make sure the sigma is no more than 7 or 8 yrs old) Also try Ruger p95. I've seen all these go for under $250.00. Yes even recently. You may have to get one that has alot of holster wear or maybe the finish is a little rough But functions perfectly. This gives you a first rate pistol on the Cheap. Let us know what you find. Good luck
