Ruger SR40..... its a sleeper of a gun. Accurate, reliable, economical and its not ugly

I picked up a CZ 75 pre-B at about that price recently.

I echo everything Jimbo is representing here. first gun... g2...reviews are good.... If I'm not supposed to be happy with it, I don't want to know it.

You can find some Springfield XD's in the $400s. I wouldn't be afraid to look at some stores for used guns. Just saw a used M&P 40 full sized for $419.

IMO, best bang for the buck is the Ruger SR9C. Never mind the $529 MSRP, these can be bought new at or below $400.

9mm would definitely suffice for a more comfortable carry caliber. As far as which gun to buy, the S&W Shield is a good choice a around $400. I recently bought an LCRx in .38 +p for about $440 out the door and so far i absolutely love it. If you are concerned at all about weight then either of these would be great.

Best 400$ handgun? Keep an eye on sales, I picked up my m&p9 full size for 429 from Midwest gun exchange year back.

You could grab a Canik at that price, and still have plenty left over for ammo. You might also look at a Taurus revolver (same thing applies), or I just picked up a SCCY XPC-2 9mm for only $239 plus tax. You can find some really good reviews on any of those options, which still leave you money for a box of ammo or two and a holster.

Kahr has some good pistols for less than $400 and great quality.
