sar is awesome, but too big in my opinion. here is a super reliable. sub compact pistol with great reviews and under your price range. shoots very well and has high capacity for it's size. I have shot over 1k w/o malfunction. I have pricier guns I could carry, I carry this one because it is the right size and shoots great.
