I'll have one thousand dollars to buy a firearm... what should I buy?

[Albanian 121]

I will have about 1000 extra dollars come Spring, and I want to use it to buy a nice firearm. Maximum is about 1200.

 

What should I buy?

 

I don't know... I already have Glock 22, Sig P938, Micro Desert Eagle, NAA Mini Revolver, Beretta Neos, M&P 15 Sport, Winchester Ranger 120, Albanian SKS.

 

Expensive I was thinking.... like Desert Eagle, SW 500, Chiappa Rhino. To satisfy my inner teenager.

 

Then I thought I could also get like two or three guns. Then I was thinking a nice 1911, like maybe a Kimber. Or maybe a decent over under shotgun. A FiveseveN? Is that even legal here? Expensive to shoot though. Sub2000 gen 2 possibly along with something else....

 

Any ideas guys?

[fatty 241]

If I were you... I'd be looking closely at a Dan Wesson Valor or VBob in 45acp or 9mm which is probably closer to your 1200 mark on the used market.  1911 goodness.

 

This is the vbob..

Before I even scrolled down and saw the 2nd post I was thinking Dan Wesson 1911

 

3 out of 4 permits in 2016 in my household went to dan wesson 1911's

[Albanian 121]

If I get a 1911 it has gotta be a 45. Those Dan Wesson's are very nice. Wow. Expensive but damn lol

 

The Arsenal looks cool as well. Nice AK pattern modern rifle.

Vepr 12 and a case of ammo. Tons of fun

How about a 357 revolver like a L frame or GP100. You'll still have change to spend on other stuff.

 

A S&W 500 is might be impressive but shooting it is expensive even if you reload. Ask anyone who has one. They don't get shot much. If you need protection from polar bears and you can't carry a rifle it might be a good idea.

Wait a few more months and invest that money into ammo. Buy it cheap, stack it deep.

Or if you're thinking a revolver, S&W 686 6". satisfies the giggle factor of being a "big shiny" gun, but you'll actually be able to shoot it more than twice.

~$700 range 1911 and 1k rounds of 45acp.

I agree. Tactitool and beautiful revolver don't mix.

 

I would go with Griz.

If you can get away make a trip to Harrisburg PA in a few weeks to the Great American Outdoor Show:

 

https://www.greatamericanoutdoorshow.org/

 

You can then handle and lust over tons of firearms and I can guarantee you will be able to find something for $1000.

 

btw: It is mainly a display from the large manufacturers although some of the smaller vendors do sales of accessories.

I have the S&W R8 and love it

A 1911 that locks up like a bank vault.

[T Bill 649]

If you like sporting clays or trap, I would consider an O/U.  Otherwise base on your inventory, you need a new semi auto shotgun.  Everyone should own at least one Beretta.

Honestly I'd wait a month and then invest in ammo/training. That's my goal this year
