in a gun buying pickle

[handgun]

So I am in a small pickle There is some money in my pocket that i very much want to spend on some guns.

My problem is nothing is jumping out and saying buy me for around the 1.5k mark or less.

I dont believe in having anything that is a safe queen. I like to shoot what i own. I believe that is what they were made for after all.

Everything i see i am like meh, or nah or there is no way i would pay that for that hideous gun.

I might need to see a shrink, i feel there is something wrong with me that cash in hand and nothing is saying buy me..

But what is currently a great deal that maybe if i ever have kids they would actually want me to leave to them?

Thanks

HK SL8 or a USC... or even a sp89 clone, those are a lot of fun...I would also add the new VP9 is pretty sweet...

ok, kygunco has s&w 625 performance center (.45 acp revolver uses moonclips) for about $800.
That's my vote.
Should certainly last and can be passed down.

10 HiPoints? One of them is sure to last.

I did fondle a new Tommy Gun at my LGS a few weeks ago. I really liked it. It was about 1k.

I am not sure anyone wants to be willed a highpoint hahaha
Thanks for the suggestions i will look into them.
I havent really kept up on whats new in the past 2 years.
Tommy gun sounds fun. I will have to look at that as well.

It's made by Auto Ordnance/Kahr. Fires from a closed bolt. There are 2 models. The more expensive model can accept a drum. The other is strictly a stick mag version.

Cot ARs are very cheap at the moment. Those will be a hand me down gun. Ammo is cheap for them as well. And if you don't like it, you can sell it for 0 loss with how unbelievably cheap they are right now.

Spend the rest on ammo and training.

I have never had this problem.

I have never had this problem.

With all the CZ variants you will be happy for years to come.

I am actually in the same "Pickle"
I have what I want in the safe but want something new. Nothing is catching my eye right now......Nada.

You answered your own question. You're just too damn stubborn to realize it.

I'm waiting to hear back on an early morning deal on an old 12 gauge semi-auto. I don't "need" it, but there it was in the classifieds last night and well... you all know the rest.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

To the OP, maybe an M1A? They're right at your price point or a little lower if you look around.

Are you up on your firearms training? Having hardware is all well and good, but improving your own skills/knowledge is at least as valuable. Defensive pistol, force-on-force, Indiana firearms law, low-light scenarios, etc.

Edit: A quality safe is another option.

^^^This. If you don't believe in safe queens, then buy ammo and training. It is better to own just one gun and be really good with it. Mind you, this is not what I do, but I don't mind safe queens and I keep practicing with the same few guns. It makes more sense to me than worrying about whether everything gets shot. Just my

If a 1911 fan, checkout SW 1911 Commander round butt with lightening cuts TT about $1300/1500

I would just sit on it for now. You know what will happen. If you buy something you really don't want, as soon as that money is gone you will suddenly decide you HAVE to have something. Then you will be kicking yourself (been there done that). Personally right now, I think with the prices coming down on some of the AKs, it is a good time to put a couple away.

 

[NyleRN]

You want something that can be passed down possibly? Correct M1 Garand.....They're not making anymore of them. I've got a '43 service grade Springfield Armory that I've had for over a year and only shot it once. I'll never sell it, I'll pass it on to my son

Yeah OP just sit on the cash and save up a bit. I am in a similar position as you. I have developed a certain taste in firearms and not much really peaks my interest.

A list of a few things that have caught my eye:

1) Wilson CQB - Do I really have to explain.
2) Springfield TRP - Because The Mouse says I need one.
3) Walther PPQ 5" - Very seldom does a gun impress me but this one did.
4) XDs 4" 9mm - The concept intrigues me.
5) Scout Rifle in .223, something similar to the Ruger Scout Rifle
5) Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 for my son. - Actually I will probably cave on this one when the wife isn't looking.

I think you are right. I might just sit on it for now. I don't want to kick myself the moment I buy something in this price point and something come along that I really catches my eye, and then be Well s***
