Almost forgot, I once bought a box of stuff at a storage auction for $10.twenty five years ago. Wanted the tri-pod and a cheap power supply out of it. I saw. After getting home and digging through the stuff I found a black powder flint lock pistol. Still have it, but never shot yet. However I'll be getting supplies to test soon

No pic, it was before digital cams & cell phones (late 70's). A shiney chrome plated mil-surplus GI 1911 w/fake ivory grips. $75. Original sights but shot great - hand sized group at 25 yards. Bought it while still in college, sold it a couple of years later to a deputy sheriff for $125 when I needed tuition money. Wish I still had it ...

My trusty LCP was free.

 

[natman]

Vintage S&W 34 in 22LR in mint condition. Misidentified (and misvalued) as a more common 17. I almost did myself an injury whipping out my wallet on this one.

NATMAN - We need to go to Vegas if you got that kinda luck!!!! My cheapest is HI-Point 9mm I got used for 75 bucks with 2 boxes of ammo before the scare.

 

[Old Grump]

First handgun I ever bought and the only one that is registered because I bought it in California in 1969/70 right after I got married, poor sailors couldn't afford expensive guns or good neighborhoods so this H&R 922 had to do double duty as wife's house gun and rabbit getter for the pot.

 

[Mr. James]

A Ruger Blackhawk in .357. I got it as a gift; my friend bought it used in Baton Rouge for $85, if memory serves. The pistol was in fine shape, and is startlingly accurate, so the price kind of stunned me.

 

[22-rimfire]

Cheapest handgun I own is a Colt reproduction of the No. 4 derringer in 22 Short. I have gotten rid of the "junk".

 

[Bulldawg55]

H&R 949 22lr $150.00

Quite an accurate gun!

F.I.E. Titan

These guns are quite accurate up to 7 yds.

 

[EdInk]

I am surprised by the number of Titans and lack of Rohms on this thread.

 

[LynnTX]

I still have an old Rohm 22 revolver "Sat-night-special" I got for a few bucks on a whim once to help a guy out.

i didn't really want the gun, but he would not accept a "hand-out". I never decided how to get rid of it, so it's still in an old gun cabinet. It didn't look bad at all, but it was about the cheapest gun a person could buy in those days.

Saw this refinished Victory Model in 38 Special in a pawnshop 9 years ago. I told the clerk they would likely never get the $100 asking price due to the badly bulged barrel. He asked me if I thought I could fix it and I allowed as I probably could. He said make an offer. I said $60 and he accepted without hesitation. Should have said $40.

Used the vise on my workbench to remove the bulged 4" barrel and installed a 5" tube I got off Ebay for $5. Serial was within a year of the frame. Had no problems with swap and gun shoots just fine. Total investment was $65.

Honorable mention (tie)...

Got this 1970 M14-3 off Gunbroker for the $100 starting price. Has some finish issues but tell me YOU wouldn't buy it at that price.

At a local show this was on a table for $100 because the action was frozen. As I figured, congealed grease had it locked up and after flushing with solvent it worked fine.

Bought these two Rugers for $225. The NM Blackhawk is a .357 from 1976 and the Single Six is from 1975.

 

[larryf1952]

I bought my Jennings J-22 for $56 in 1985. It had an extraction problem, but after I removed the extractor and sharpened the hook to get a better grip on the rim, it ran a lot better.

It's an early model (note the horizontal sliding safety), so I'm sure that collector interest has pushed up its value to at least $56.50 by now.

 

[outlaw2]

My Cheapest handgun would be my Heritage RR 22/22mag I paid $179 for it
There were a couple of small scratches on it

 

[SunDog3478]

The one on the left was cheaper.



That's all I got.

 

[BrassAndLead]

Smith and Wesson Sigma VE40. I paid around $349 for it I think before tax.

 

[C5rider]

paid $160 for a Ruger three-screw Single-Six with both cylinders last year.
