2 to go-- make that 1 to go

[tinyboy 1]

I have two handgun permits left, and I need some ideas on which handguns to get

 

I currently own:

 

9MM

.357

.38

10MM

.40 S&W Glock, so I can also swap out and shoot .357 auto with it

.45 (but not a 1911)

Judge

 

I don't like getting the same caliber, I think it's a waste. the only reason I own two .38s, is one is the 686 6 inch and the other is a little snub nose Taurus piece of shit. I would however consider a nice 1911.

 

I was thinking of a .44, and after Tuesday Im even thinking harder about the .44 Auto, and the 5.7.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Picked up a Kimber Stainless Target II so one more to go. They have a gorgeous Kimber in black at Cheyenne but two 1911s back to back? Come on now....

 

was thinking maybe a H&K, or a .380 if I can get the ammo

.22LR

[Maksim 1,504]

humn... 1911 of some sort, be it 45 or 9mm.

 

desert eagle 44 mag can be very fun, only thing is... how much use will it actually get?

 

a 22lr pistol is always great.

 

the 5seven will be a niche caliber.... so unless you get something else, ie ps90, or the ar 5x7 upper, will be kind of pointless.

[tinyboy 1]

Im ok with the niche caliber, I will just buy a few k rounds of the 5.7 and be set with that

[Maksim 1,504]

then the 5seven will be good.

 

did you get a chance to shoot wolfy's 357 sig xd?

[tinyboy 1]

I held it but didn't shoot it

 

I have the Glock .40, so it can be changed to a .357 if I want it, plus that ammo is getting pricey with the shortage

[matt6669 71]

I'd get a 1911 in .45acp even tho you already have a .45. A 1911 will be my next handgun purchase.

 

I'm trying to decide if I want to spend the money on a nice Kimber or buy a cheaper 1911 and personalize it throughout the years.

 

Outside of that I can't really recommend anything as your arsenal puts mine to shame

 

if you want, you could always donate two guns to the matt needs more guns fund, and then that would open two more options for you FTW!

Get a 1911, or an HK45.

[tj462nj 32]

Seems like you do have a variety of different calibers there, I would recommend to get something that is more econimical to shoot, like a 22 or 17. These calibers in revolvers can be fun to shoot (and very accurate too)

What about a .380 Ruger LCP

[tony357 386]

dude, everyone has to have a 1911... i shoot my DE more than all my other pistols except the 1911.

I was thinking five-seven until I saw the following from FN which basically said the maximum effective range is less than Glock 17's.

I would LOVE a .380, but you cannot get ammo at all for it, which sucks!

 

I have a .22 rifle, I mean I dont see the point of having a .22 pistol and a rifle

 

Matt if my wife had her way, you would get them all for $5 total (maybe $6) believe me. This is why I have 2 left and I'm all done. I promised her no more handguns after these two are used up.

 

Long guns, well that's another story....

[Larain60 1]

.22lr is mandatory. Check out the Ruger 22/45

 

1911 is nice too.

I'll make you a deal tiny, 10 bucks and I'll even treat you and the wife to dinner for the guns. I mean, I think that is quite fair

 

gl with the gun purchases, let us know what you end up with.

Jim Flynn's Truck Repair in Glen Gardner has plenty of .380. I just picked up a couple of boxes for a friend yesterday for $12.50 ea.

[tinyboy 1]

50 rounds for $12.50?

[njpilot 671]

Yep. It's not close. I pass by there some days when I go to Allentown, PA. He has a lot of different ammo at good prices. PMC Bronze .223 for $7.50 a box. I just picked up 2 boxes of A/E .308 for $15.25 a box and A/E .38 Special for $15 a box.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

How about a 22 magnum/lr combo revolver. And of course a 1911. Those 2 seem to be whta everyone else here suggests.

[tbtrout 141]

1911 and a Ruger Blackhawk in 44 mag

[NJChiroDoc 0]

Yes jim flynns does have the ammo at a great price. Let me say the ruger LCP is very small, very accuract, and very fun to shoot!

[Lublin 3]

.22 for sure.

 

That's definitely my next pistol.
