The Hunnerd-Dollar Gun
These little guns do serve a purpose and can often be made quite serviceable with a little work. This NEF R92 is a personal favorite which has stayed in the stable for some time.
Don't think it's going anywhere soon, either... except maybe up in the timber to a bass pond I know about.

A Sterling that was too dangerous for its own good:
In its defense, it had about a lot of use before it became such a danger. But... there is only one way to eliminate dangerous weapons - Death by Firing Squad.

I still got the HiPoint C9 I bought to learn on while I waited for my CCL to go through. For a cool $150, it still shoots with utter reliability.

Ive got one of those .25 acp titan deals. I got it from my mom who got it from someone else etc. I dont think it was ever shot until I got a hold of it. Went better than i expected anyway.
I've never had the gusto to pick up a cheap Jennings. I just hear way too many horror stories.
However, I did snag an Arminius .38 with a 4" bbl for $85. I've heard people slam them AND praise them. It's not my favorite gun in the world, but it's worked the few times I've practiced with it and it's a million times more handsome than a Hi-Point or Jennings/Bryco.
While I believe that firearms are "one of those things" where picking the brand name and spending a little more is the smarter idea, who says you can't take that bar money you just saved by not going out one night and picking up a nice cheap utilitarian piece of projectile-hurling glory?

Decoration.
And, that's a magazine. (I assume you're looking at the "blob" below the grip.)

Titan .25-- that brings back memories
My Father owned one of these back in the late 70's. He carried it with him over the road. If I remember right the tag on the box said $49. We went out to shoot it when he bought it. It would keyhole bullets at 10 feet. I don't remember it misfiring however.
I know he was very glad to have it at least once while in Detroit after dark.

I bought this one in 1965? for $3.00,,,
at a garage sale when I was 13,,,
It was my first handgun purchase ever.
In fact I had forgotten I even owned it,,,
About 2-3 months ago I opened a box that had been in storage since 1970.
.22 Shorts only,,,
I don't remember when the front sight fell off,,,
I do remember when my Dad caught me carrying it at 16 years old,,,
I told my Dad I took the front sight off so it would clear my pocket faster,,,
He said that was a good idea, because when someone took it from me and shoved it up my @$$,,,
It wouldn't hurt so much coming back out.
Times were different back then,,,

It's a crappy cell phone photo, from a few years ago. It would be easier to see what's what with a quality image.
Zamak Central is a collection of 26 Saturday Night Specials and all but three of them are in good working order - only one cracked frame.
The Excam G-27 (same as pictured by Mtn Biker) rides in my right front pocket most of the time. It's a snappy little SA pistol with 7 + 1 Winchester X-Points. Totally reliable for years.
Oh, I know!

My Taurus PT-22 would almost qualify, but it was somewhere around $225. And it has been perfect, one of the few if what I read about them is true. Strange thing is it is fed nearly a steady diet of Remington Yellow Jackets, a design that Taurus recommends against due to FTFs.
The only gun I have that truly qualifies is a single-shot shotgun, a CBC made in Brazil that cost me a blistering 28 bucks brand new in box. I've never fired it.
