Let's say a guy wants to try his hand with a hammer gun, but does not want to spend a ton of cash and wants to be able to shoot modern factory loads. What types of hammer guns would you recommend looking for that might be available for $500-$1500 and could handle modern, factory loads?

Also, let's say money is less of a concern and a new hammer gun was the goal. Who, if anyone, makes hammer guns that cost less than your average new car?

As always, thanks.
