What To Get?!

Hello Everyone,
I have a birthday coming up next month and I am looking to get a new firearm. I am really up for just about anything but I am particuarly interested in either a pistol or carbine. My only problem is that I have to get one for under $350. I will be using it for target shooting the shooting distance will depend on the firearm itself. If anyone has any suggestion on what to get I would greatly appreciate it.

Guns In The Pricerange
1. Kel-tec Sub 2000 .40
2. Ruger LCP .380
3. Charter Arms Bulldog
4. Saiga .223
5. Bersa .380 " I cannot Find This One In Stock In my Area"
6. Taurus Revolver .17

If I had those in front of me, I would pick the Saiga in .223 (I like rifles better). How about a Ruger MKII or the new MKIII?

The Ruger LCP looks good.

I would only get the Ruger LCP for my wife or if I needed a deep conceal gun, it is way too small for my hands. Off of that list I would go with the Saiga .223, but if you don't have a carry gun yet, get a pistol!

I have a $300 allowance from tax returns to spend on whatever I want and I am getting a Remington 870 12-gauge, much more affordable to shoot than any of the guns you listed

Ruger LCP is a nice pocket gun for summer.

I wouldn't recommend the LCP for something you plan on using for target shooting much. Sure, you CAN use it, but it would most likely have to be at very close range. I would recommend the Saiga, the Kel-Tec, or look for a Ruger PC4.

I would get the Bersa. Best gun for the money on the market in my opinion.

need to know what you already have, if you dont have a hand gun or shotty i would get a handgun. If you have a handgun already the clear choice is the saiga.
