Max 9 for sale @ $329 at Sportsmans Warehouse. I'd spend the extra $30. You can also find SCCY, SAR, Taurus and others below $300, but let the buyer beware.

I have one of the earlier ones, it had a horrible trigger. and i mean horrible. extremely hard to pull and would not fire till you pulled the trigger all the way against the trigger guard. i put an apex trigger in it and it's not horrible now. maybe awful but not horrible. lol but it does go bang every time. mines 40 cal.

I have nothing nice to say about any of the pistols mentioned in this thread so far, so I won’t say anything.

I will say you can get an IWI Masada 9S for a tad over $400.

I wouldn't purchase any of them, especially Ruger! Pay a little more and get a quality firearm

Would you bet your life on the worst surgeon in the state?
Why buy sub standard firearms ?

I don’t get it

Agreed, just get a Hi Point and be done with it.

Have had two Bersas and they were great. Passed them on to family members and they are used all the time.

Under $300?

Trade in Glock or M&P, all day, every day.

Looks an awful lot like that awful S&W garbage gun Sigma that had an awful heavy looong trigger pull & awful accuracy. A cheap friend-ish guy I worked with had one & after work we’d go shooting at this NRA indoor range accessible 24/7 provided no matches were scheduled. It was fun to go shooting & argue with him on why having a cheap awful gun that was easy to choke/limp wrist was just awfully dumb. It wasn’t the only Sigma I saw at the ranges over the years that was . I’m not betting my life on a gun that may or may not work when I need it most - why? Not sure it’s a bargain until you’ve shot it a ton, & can count on it completely. Just my opinion .. everybody has one.

My bersa is super reliable

Bersa TPR9's are metal framed guns. they are nice.

A tree rest at 3 feet isnt a testament to its quality and how many times you had to clear the jam

Jk… just kidding …

Nice shooting

It was 4 feet.

Mags hard to find?

Mags hard to find?

I didn't buy any for it. came with two 17 round mags. it was just a paper puncher so i didn't buy extra. it's a bit heavy for me to carry as a CCW

My Keltec PF 9 was under $300 and it has been very reliable . Only time it has chocked was when I decided I wanted to run Remington Golden Sabre . No would work. Any other brand , any bullet type , it fired and spit them out . After 16 years I still have it in my carry rotation.

ETA : Maybe I just got lucky but the little gun goes bang when I want it to.

Mags hard to find?

You got me curious and holy crap, none to be found. the thunder 17 round mags are plentiful. but no TPR9 mags in stock anywhere or least where i looked. If gunmag warehouse or grab a gun don't have them then they are scarce.
