I've got a buddy that told me at lunch today that he was looking for a 9mm for a truck gun/something for the house/some target shooting. He isn't looking to spend a bunch of money(prefer to stay around $300 if possible). He told him his wife was looking at handguns for him for Christmas and said she was quoted over $700 for a Glock. He didn't say which model or what shop.
I know he could go Hi Point or do some searching for used firearms. Is there anything other than Hi Point that would be reliable in the $300 or under range new? I have some handguns for him to try(revolvers in .22, .38, and .357 and semi autos in 9x18, .40, and .45) and I did tell him to get his LTCH because of the fact he wants to use the gun as a truck gun and take it to his father in law's farm for some target practice.
I know he won't fall in love with my Glock 27 because he is a pretty big guy with big hands. Even the biggest Hi Point would be fine size wise as he is 6'4-ish and probably 350.
So, any recommendations in a full size 9mm in his range?
