It is always recommended to do research and test fire every pistol before purchase to assure it will be a fit. It's worth mentioning that Ruger LC9 is on the list, however it is tough to find it under $300.

Why no C&R pistols, best buy out there now for a CNC weapon is the reliable CZ-82 in my book, outshoots all the above pistols and more

Or a P-64, another nice C&R pistol that's ideal for concealed carry.

Glad to hear someone speak up for the Radom p-64. After much research and trial and error with different options, the 9x18 P-64 is, for me, the perfect CC pistol. Slim, utterly concealable, and never, ever fails. 100% reliable.

The European American Armory SARB6PC is a really nice gun for under $300 also. Just something to think about if your getting a gun for <$300.
https://gun.deals/product/eaa-sar-400424-b6pc-9mm-13rd-38in-29995... This one is OOS but they are out there for under $300.

J-frame msrp 800? Thats the top of line of line model they make. Not really a fair comparison in my opinion.

The j-frame 642 and 442 go for about 400 new locally.
Sure it's not a 357 but a 38 special +p has a bit for power and I think is a bit more reliable than many of the pistols listed here. Better resale and lifetime warranty too.

Quality and high point don't go together. Out over 29 people I have known to jave a high point pistol or rifle have regreted wasting there money on one. I just don't want to see more people hurt bu spensong money on a poor product. If BBB worked for the gun industry they be out of business.

My dad has a high pos as I call it. Jamns every three 2-4 rounds not goos for a carry gun. Lifetime of crap warranty and magazine s hard to come by. Yea I stick with my Rock. If Armscor made a .45 colt revolver I buy it. Great guns ans great customer service

Armscor makes a .38 special looks like a Colt Dective model. Called the model 200 I have seen new for less than $200 but it has been 3 years. They are parent company to Rock Island Armory and I must say that have excellent service. Life time warranty to original buyer. Great gun witb packerized finish made to carry.

.380 is just what is being pushed. It costs as much, if not more than .45 ACP. Truthfully skip .25, .32, 7.62x25mm and .380. 9x18 Makarov is minimal size for CC these days but US companies won't be chambering for itobviously. Many swear on their CZ-82s and Makarov varients or they go bigger, not smaller.

These are all more popular than the P32?

P32 is on the main chart in the image, but so are a lot of other .32's. .380 is the recommended minimum for every day carry, which is probably why the list starts there. Not that .32 isn't enough, but you are typically going with .32 because you have a specific requirement (usually clothing or use as a backup weapon) to be in the niche ultra-concealable/"mouse gun" category of carry handguns. Or you're a top secret agent on a classified mission to the hotel bar.
