What materials are you using it for?

Silicone sealants, "easy squeasy" latex, caulk just use a "no drip" plastic gun like this:

Its as simple as getting your trigger pressure down and making sure you have a quick release as you come to the end of your project. Once you get the hang of it this is definitely worth the money, and should suffice for any diy and home repair you might need it for.https://www.amazon.com/Dripless-Inc...p&qid=1564807121&s=hi&sr=1-4

I found the inexpensive metal drip-less caulking guns to work fine. Maybe being in the business for 40+ years I can tell which ones to grab at the local paint store or HD. They last a long time, and are very easy to operate. It is all in technique and how you cut the tip, IMO not the cost of the gun.
