These aren't so much guns for hunting monsters as they are guns that the 'monsters' are carrying, but it's tangentially related and a new thread seems uncalled for when it's something so minor.

Anyway, six cultists are traveling to the US for a significant ritual. They set this up in advance and although many of their preparations have been invalidated due to PC action, they'll still manage to pick up the firearms, knives and other tactical gear that their logistics support arranged for them.

The guns are bought at various Texas gun shows through June to November 2018, with cash from private sellers to avoid federal background checks. Because the cultists will not have time to visit a firing range and familiarize themselves with their weapons, they need to be weapons they are already familiar with.

All six have some basic familiarity with firearms, either from military service, police work or less official channels. The following are the types they are familiar with:

Leader: Taurus 82 .38 Spl revolver (S&W Model 10 copy).
Lieutenant 1: FAMAE FT-2000 .38 Spl revolver; FM Rosario 9x19mm (Browning GP copy); Ruger MkI Target .22 LR; S&W Model 17 .22 LR revolver; Walther P38 9x19mm.
Lieutenant 2: Colt 625 JM .45 ACP revolver; Ruger 90 .45 ACP; S&W Model 17 .22 LR revolver; FAMAE FN-750 9x19mm (CZ75-clone).
Enforcer 1: FAMAE FN-750 9x19mm (CZ 75-clone); FAMAE FT-2000 .38 Spl revolver; FM Rosario 9x19mm (Browning GP copy); Glock 17 9x19mm; Ruger MkI Target .22 LR; S&W Model 17 .22 LR revolver; Taurus 82 .38 Spl revolver (S&W Model 10 copy); Walther P38 9x19mm.
Enforcer 2: FAMAE FN-750 9x19mm (CZ 75-clone); FAMAE Model 92 9x19mm (Beretta 92 FS clone); Taurus 82 .38 Spl revolver (S&W Model 10 copy).
Bodyguard/driver: FAMAE FN-750 9x19mm (CZ 75-clone); Glock 17 9x19mm; S&W Model 17 .22 LR revolver; Taurus 82 .38 Spl revolver (S&W Model 10 copy).

So, what are common models of firearms that could be found for sale at Texas gun shows that they would be familiar with?

They don't all have to be the same weapon, in fact, they probably will not be. I imagine that some will be revolvers and others might be some variety of CZ 75 or CZ 75-clones. What are the most common pistols that are close enough to a CZ 75 to fall under that familiarity that you might find at Texas gun shows?

If practical, it would be nice if the weapons purchased were easily concealable, as long as they still fall under the same familiarity. Are CZ 75 Compact pistols likely to be commonly available as second-hand guns at gun shows in Texas?
