I'll file that under "things I didn't need to know." I need a beater gun.austinrealtor wrote:Cop trade in Glock 22 at GT Distributors in Austin for $285 + tax

two boxes (40 rounds) of Winchester Bonded PDX ammo from Wal Mart ~ $20 each
then as many 50-round boxes of Federal FMJ at $13.47 each as he can afford

While I do have him talked into a .40 cal (or greater) he is still on a budget. He doesn't want to spend more than $480.00. I know there are plenty of choices that fall into that category but I'd be interested in hearing what some of your thoughts are and why. He has looked at the Taurus Slim and likes the way it feels but hasn't shot it yet and I have no history with Taurus. What about the Millenium Pro in .45?
Any help in helping me help him help himself would be great!
