FishNHard 145 Posted July 25, 2014 So my 30 day wait is up and I can go and shop for another handgun currently I have a m&p shield, browning buck mark . SA TRP and a SA MC operator and I cannot figure out for the life of me what to get next , went to 2 shops today and here's what I saw that look interesting first was the Magnum research baby eagle . 2nd was the H&k P30 and the last 2 were from S&W M&P CORE in 9mm and the S&W 1911PC So out of those are there any to avoid or any to really look into .Thanks John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silphidae 33 Posted July 26, 2014 Do you have a role that the gun needs to fulfill? I can offer suggestions if you have a role in mind, otherwise it's mostly just subjective opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Russell 3 Posted July 26, 2014 You should buy my beautiful Glock 19 OD that's in the marketplace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,131 Posted July 26, 2014 How about a jersey-legal AR pistol? They're a real blast to shoot and if you've already got an AR in .223, you've already got the mags and ammo! Look around on the web - they're out there for sale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael2013 56 Posted July 26, 2014 Yep. Ruger GP100 or S&W 686. If I could have only one firearm, it would be one of the above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,369 Posted July 26, 2014 Ugh those things are hideous looking LOL Also cumbersome and serve no purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mag1 0 Posted July 26, 2014 This. Lets hear why? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishNHard 145 Posted July 27, 2014 Don't need it for any specific purpose just mostly target shooting or maybe something to use to get into the steel matches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMJeepster 2,778 Posted July 27, 2014 Lets hear why?I got mine because Pizza Bob said so. Just kidding! I wanted a revolver and .357M is what most of my family has for carry (PA) or home defense. They also tend to favor S&Ws as most of my forefathers owned and swore by them. I found a used 686-3 4" while browsing one day, got the clerk to let me hold it and fell in love. It fits my hand well, easy on the eyes and takes two different calibers of ammo. I can stock .38s to practice and have .357M for defense and a once-in-a-while trip to the range. It's easy to disassemble to clean. It's track record goes back far enough to lead me to believe that it will always be made and that spare parts and upgrades will always be offered. Should I go on?

njJoniGuy 2,131 Posted July 28, 2014 The one in the pic is a Professional Ordnance original "B" model (plain barrel, set-screwed compensator) The other one I have is a Bushmaster with a fluted stainless barrel, a "D" serial number, and a quick-connect (non-threaded) on the compensator There are a couple (one of each, in fact) for sale currently on Gunbroker. (The D model is even in north jersey!) http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=431485274#PIC http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=430711454#PIC With a single point sling attached to the rear of the lower receiver (around your neck and one shoulder) it holds extremely steady. Either 2 hands on the pistol grip, or one on the grip and one around the mag. And hanging at your side, a better trenchcoat gun would be hard to find! These are quite the attention getters at the range! The fireball and the report are pretty impressive. And they both eat my leftover inventory of 62gr Wolf .223 with no problem. Not as pretty as some other handguns, these are a lot of fun to shoot How many other handguns can consistently ring an 8" steel at 100yd? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mipafox 438 Posted July 28, 2014 If you don;t know what to get then get something not on the California authorized list. Bonus points if it is illegal in any other states. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
