The cheapest quality handgun is probably a Glock. If you buy a new one it could cost about $550.00 or so. You can find sales or even used ones for a little less.
Many brands, good quality, try M&P Smith&wesson, good quality, prices start from less than 300 and up, depending on the package, number of clips, size of the pistol, etc. If you are a new start on handguns M&P is a good choice.
