    I suppose the best/first questions would be:
    Revolver? Pistol? Caliber? Intended use?

    The most important question is: What is this handgun for?

    As you can imagine, a handgun for taking big game would not work very well for self defense and vice versa. Form follows function, every single time.

    I would agree we would need more specifics.

    Since most questions pertain to self defense I will take it that way. I would get a used Glock 26 and Ruger or Buckmark 22lr. The 22lr is for practice and fun. The Glock with a ten round magazine makes a great carry weapon and with a G19 or 17 magazine and spacer can cover nightstand duty.

    Yankee, tell us what the gun is going to be for and you will get a more informative answer. There are a number of gun people on here you should listen to and and Steve is one of them.

    You thinking semi-automatic, reliable, not too pricey, and a good supply of cheap ammo? Sound like your average Glock 19 to me.

    A $700 budget is pretty good for a handgun. I would suggest you take a $100 and rent a good cross section of guns at a range and try them out. You should try different calibres and sizes. Try semi-autos and revolvers. I would also read as much as you can about as many different guns as you can. You can them probably still be able to buy a self defense gun and a .22 for cheap range fun.
    Some people just plain suck.
    If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.
