MichaelDiggs 29 Posted November 9, 2019 It's that time of year I treat myself. I usually get a handgun or rifle type firearm. My signature shows all that I have now. I've looked all around at all the new stuff and just can't find anything that peaks my interest. I would love to get a 9mm Wilson Combat but for $4000 I can't justify that on any measure. I'm sure there are guns out there just as good and reliable that cost $400 to $1000. Anyway, maybe someone can give me some recommendations for something that I can take to the range, shoot and just be happy with it. I've shot hundreds and hundreds of rounds through all my guns and I love shooting them all, except for the 1911. Not saying I don't like it, just a little bulky and heavy. I'm also a left handed person and would love to get something that has the capability for ambi. I think I went to Buds online and just went page after page just looking to see if anything visually would pop out. Help me spend my money! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVB-AMG 530 Posted November 9, 2019 @MichaelDiggs: Having enjoyed my Wilson Combat Tactical Supergrade 1911 in .45 ACP, I am a proponent of the quality and accuracy of WC's handguns. Are you familiar with the Wilson Combat EDX X9 in 9mm? It has a base MSRP of $2,895 which may still be more than what you want to spend, but less than the $4,000 - $5,000 of the top-of-the-line, Wilson Combat's full size 1911's.

I like the fact it has 10 rounds and the size. Plus the price is good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s magic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Underdog 1,593 Posted November 9, 2019 The Springfield Hellcat seems interesting. A 22LR revolver is a staple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s magic "Loves" - eh, I like it, but it's not my favoritest handgun evahhhhh. For a micro-frame 9mm it is surprisingly controllable. If someone is looking for a very concealable 9mm and doesn't like the Glock 43 or 26, maybe because they have smaller hands, then the 365 is a good choice. @MichaelDiggs - get a handgun in .22LR for cheaper range practice - or consider a .22 conversion kit for one of your current handguns?

Excellent fit and finish with a MSP of $1298. Also in full size and 45 acp. For ambi controls I like the HK VP9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhonda 86 Posted November 10, 2019 I would consider a 1911 in 9mm. get a Rock Island and after you break it in, get whatever mods you want and youre gtg. https://armscor.com/firearms/ria/rock-series/rock-ultra-fs-9mm/ Or if you want to spend a bit more and still be relatively inexpensive; https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/BUL-1911-Trophy-Classic-9mm-Stainless-Steel-P5615.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichaelDiggs 29 Posted November 16, 2019 Been reading all the replies and someone suggested a 22LR, which might be a good choice. Still in love with that Wilson Combat EDC but can't see myself putting out $2895 and then waiting for it to be built. Now, possibly on the hunt for a really nice 22LR.

oldguysrule649 397 Posted November 20, 2019 Recommend you consider a Ruger Mark IV Hunter and/or the GP100 in 22LR. I have them both and they are high quality firearms, imho. (On a side note, after always regretting not purchasing a 7” fluted barrel back in the 1970s for my High Standard Sharpshooter, I finally scratched that itch 45 years later by buying the Hunter.)

siderman 1,131 Posted November 20, 2019 If I had to narrow down my stable of 22's in semi I'd keep the Ruger SR22 and revo is the S&W 617 10 shot. Those are my picks. 22 is a lot of fun and cheap to shoot. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
