I bought a High Point 9mm carbine for $260 many years back, and I giggle when I shoot it. Cheap, fun, and accurate. Bought a few 15 round clips for it and have a blast when it gets used. The stepson bought one a few years ago in .45 with an optic sight, light and grip for $300. It's nothing fancy that's for sure. But it fit our budgets, and I'd buy one again.
