0verholt 6 Posted January 15, 2017 Arsenal SAM7R-61. Built like a brick ****house, accurate, light recoil, smooth operation, fit of a Cadillac (sans finish). Fun as hell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,051 Posted January 15, 2017 Surplus MR-73 if you are looking for a handgun. Finest .357 ever made. https://ganymede.meccahosting.com/~a0000ae7/aaresult.php?PageId=58 Semi Auto Rifle a SVT-40 to go with your SKS Albanian or a FN-49.

JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted January 15, 2017 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. I agree with this. Every time I think about getting rid of my 500 I go to the range and put 3 to 5 rds through it. The big smile it brings to my face proves to me that it is worth it for another year. I have had it a long time and have put less than 80 or so rds through it. They are not practical at all but very fun. I do reload for mine so it is not as bad as it could be.

folush 4 Posted January 15, 2017 I would buy some different type of weapon I don't have. Looks like the bolt action rifle is not listed in your collection. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twospot 38 Posted January 17, 2017 https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/mp-9-m20 This is what I'm buying with the permit I have to wait 29 more days to use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0verholt 6 Posted January 18, 2017 ^Love the "have to wait 29 more days to use" part. I've got 2 pistol permits, that I've already extended, that are due to expire in February. No idea if I want to use them or not; trying to sell a couple rifles before I buy another handgun. I really like those M&P 2.0's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albanian 121 Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks for the recent suggestions guys. I think I am going to go with a firearm that is around 500 and use the rest for ammo. Now I just need to figure out which gun..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It used to be when I'm in another state they hear the accent and say "You must be from Jersey". Now they over hear me telling someone " yeah I need to wait another 29 days to you my purchase permit" THEN I get the "you must be from Jersey"!

gleninjersey 2,134 Posted January 27, 2017 Thanks for the recent suggestions guys. I think I am going to go with a firearm that is around 500 and use the rest for ammo. Now I just need to figure out which gun.....You lack a CZ. CZ-75B, CZ-PCR, CZ-SP01. IMHO the 75B is a classic. The PCR is very nice and I believe would make a nice carry gun. The SP-01 is a slicker, more polished 75B with a light rail. I beleive all the above can be found for around $550 - $750. Any would be a nice addition to your collection and you would have money left over for ammo. Good luck with your search. Let us know what you end up selecting.

gleninjersey 2,134 Posted January 27, 2017 Also, Colt will be coming out with a new revolver later this year. Maybe wait a bit, see how the reviews are and if positive pick one up. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/1/1/the-keefe-report-colt-cobra-a-new-factory-double-action-colt/ I thought I was done buying handguns. Turns out I was just done for right now. Let's face it, there will always be something we would like to add. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg 12 Posted February 13, 2017 For me the "core four" are: 1911 in .45 357 mag revolver 9/40 cal semi automatic .22 pistol Considering you have the G22, I would go for a 1911 and a .22 or a revolver and a .22 For example you can get a S&W 686 and a buckmark or a Springfield RO and a Ruger MK4 in your budget. All quality guns that you will enjoy for years. Although SW500 and DE's are very cool guns, you will likely not shoot them much. Ammo is costly. if you don't reload it is not at all practical for volume shooting ($1.50 or more per round for 500s&w). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
son of sam 9 Posted February 16, 2017 $1000 is a hard budget to make a decision. Think about a CZ75/85 and a brick of ammo to go with it. I love my Kimbers, but none of them were in that range. Some great wheel guns like a 686 at that range Shotgun, for a grand your not in O/U range. Min $2500 for anything nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted February 17, 2017 S&W TRR8 .357 8rd That was developed for a specific purpose by S&W for the NYPD ESU. They wanted a revolver in .357 Mag for use with ballistic shields (when using a semi auto pistol with a ballistic shield you run the risk of the slide hitting the shield under recoil and causing malfunctions) that could take a light for target ID and an optic for more effective one handed shooting through the shield's viewport. Anyway, with $1K, I would by a shit-ton of ammo for the pistol I shoot the best and travel to take a big name training class. Langdon, DeFoor, Gonzales, CSAT, VTAC, etc...

Albanian 121 Posted February 17, 2017 So I've decided to cut out potential safe queens like the DE and 500. Thanks again for the posts guys. I'm leaning toward the 500 dollar cost and then spending 500 on ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albanian 121 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Whelp, I waited a little longer to save some money. I am getting a Vector CRB gen II (ODG) in 45 and an EOTech 512 (plus various ammo and cleaning supplies). Already have the EOTech, Vector is on order. Yes I am truly a millennial and need my Call of Duty guns. lol Thanks again for all the posts. I do have a list now though thanks to the recommendations from you guys. It's just that I wanted the Vector since I got my first firearm some years ago. I realized I could just save over the summer and afford it and I am hearing great things about the Gen 2.
