Milsurp>cheap plastic junk.
You can still buy a Mak for about 200 if you shop around. It will work EVERY time.
I carry it's slightly more complicated brother the CZ82, thousands of rounds of mixed ammo, never a jam, never a FTF, never a FTE. Those Eastern block guys know how to build some good shooting guns. I have shot 12" plates at 100 yards with this thing (3/12).
<3 my 82, would never part with it, just like the STAR BM (another good choice, though not as cheap)

What a great bunch of options. I stopped by my local gun shop and put a Glock 36 in my hands. It felt REALLY good! I can't wait to be able to shoot one! I also liked the Ruger Lc9. It actually felt pretty darn good in my hand even being so small.
Exactly....don't let the ODT fool you....a used Glock should never sell for more than $425.
$315 Bersa .380. Don't leave home without it.
Except to go jogging I wouldn't carry less than a 9MM. So for EDC the cheapo 380's are out.
Kel Tec is hit and miss(pardon the pun) on reliability for many of their guns. Had both a P3AT and a PF9 that were seriously iffy, as well as one of each you could trust your life on. But then I've had similar experience with Taurus Milenniums too. PT92/99 is as reliable as any gun on the market though. Just too damn big to carry. In the porice rangs and a little bit more carry friendly are the Ruger P series. Reliable as hell and <$300 or ya got robbed.
But for me, I prefer a Ruger SR9c/SR40c for the bottom price range I will EDC at <$400, or a Glock 27 right at $400.
