Self defense on a budget? No problem. The Classic Firearms team is highlighting some of the best budget-friendly handguns, rifles, and shotguns that won't break that bank. Whether you're looking for your first concealed carry pistol or a long gun to keep by the back door, we've got something here for you.
In the past, purchasing a budget firearm would entail a degree of compromise (less ergonomic, fewer features, etc.) Today's market is much more diverse, with plenty of quality low-cost guns that allow all individuals to practice self defense - regardless of income. These are the top 10 guns you can buy for less than $350 in January 2024.
Based on what is perhaps the most memed handgun of all time, the Yeet Cannon G2 is a tremendous improvement over the original Hi-Point C9. It has a stippled frame, front slide serrations, and a threaded barrel for attaching a compensator or suppressor.
Savage is well-known for its extensive selection of long guns, but they also make an affordable concealed carry pistol. With a ported slide and a standard capacity of 8+1, the Stance is a compact yet incredibly shootable handgun that is perfect for EDC.
Capable of firing both .22 LR and .22 WMR, Diamondback's Sidekick revolver is a cost effective option for new shooters who want a plinker that can double as a defensive sidearm. This model is easy to use and ships with an additional cylinder for loading hotter Magnum ammunition.
We're big fans of the PX-9 G3 pistol, and the tactical model sports many additional features not often found on budget-friendly pistols. An optics plate, threaded barrel, flared magwell, and crisp trigger make this pistol an excellent choice for self defense, target shooting, or duty use.
Unlike most other shotguns at this price point, Panzer's EGX500 is equipped with a fully adjustable gas system which allows shooters to cycle multiple types of shotshells through a sleek tactical bullpup semi-auto shotgun. Plus, it shoots as good as it looks.
The GX4 is Taurus' entry into the microcompact space, sporting a slim profile and an 11-round flush fit magazine. Every aspect of this pistol, from the snag-free design to the tactile grip stippling, is optimized for comfortable and worry-free concealed carry.
Priced well below competing .22 LR lever actions, this modern take on the classic Western rifle from Henry is perfect for new shooters and firearms enthusiasts alike. It holds up to 15 rounds of .22 LR or 21 rounds of .22 Short, plus it has a grooved receiver for mounting a scope.
The Undercover Lite is an ultra-light snub-nosed revolver chambered for .38 Special. It has fixed sights, a spurred hammer, and a 5-round capacity - plus it is available in multiple finishes. Perfect for deep concealment or use as a backup gun.
Patterned after the iconic AK-47, this tactical semi-auto shotgun features an M-LOK foreend and is compatible with most AK replacement parts. The gun ships with two 5-round magazines, but extended magazines are readily available for purchase.
The Plum Crazy AR-15 utilizes fiber-reinforced composite construction to keep costs affordable and the rifle includes a 15" M-LOK handguard for mounting accessories. This is an excellent entry-level AR for shooters on a budget who are looking for a highly functional multi-purpose firearm.
