He has a nice set up. You could get a used .38 and a few boxes of ammo ~$300. Or a Hi-Point for cheaper than that. I've seen them cheaper, but here is a police trade-in S&W Model 10 for $319. It will work just as well for you now as it worked for the police 40 years ago.
If you can afford it then it might be a good idea to buy something nicer. However, I have plenty of faith in that gun's ability to stop a car jacking.
