Best Used handgun

[JERRYS.]

you can never go wrong with an old school S&W wheely.

OP if you are looking for a HD gun get a 4 inch bbl. Smith&Wesson model 686 or 66 in .357 mag. For a CCW gun the S&W 60 or other J-frame is a good choice. YMMV. Good luck in your search. tom.

Hard to find a good condition 686 for under $500 in my neck of the woods. Hard to find a 19 or any nice S&W 357 for under $500. YMMV

I agree with others about one of the Ruger six series of revolvers, plenty of punch and can shoot 357 mag and .38 spl which is always a plus.

I second the idea of the Ruger P-series for a semi-auto. .45 acp for a more power or 9x19mm for more firepower. They can be had for well under $500 which leaves money for ammo and other things.

I must say that I answered the OP based on getting the most gun at $500. There are many handguns, like used Ruger P89s, that are well under $500 and are nice guns. Paying $500 for a P89 would be a mistake, though - its a $350-400 gun.

German Sig P220 just over $500, depending on transfer & shipping costs, is a good deal.

I'm not trying to be rude but don't see how someone can answer your question as asked. If you were to handle some handguns to see what feels most comfortable in your hand, then ask about the ones you like then you could get much better answers. I love the Sig P226, it is my favorite pistol, but the grips are too big and my finger is too short for the trigger. So instead I have a CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical with thin grips.

I'd vote for Ruger P-series for auto and ANY Ruger wheel gun. It would have to be REALLY USED not to be considered.
