For me it’s not a major factor, but I can acknowledge that’s a luxury not everyone can enjoy. There are people with limited incomes that still want to defend themselves, go hunting, enjoy the shooting sports, etc. There are price points I won’t go below and some firearms I would advise people avoid and try to save for longer. I do think there are a number of reliable pistols across a range of prices these days.
