Help me - What to get!

Recommended Posts

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!  :)

@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.  Here is a link:

Is that X9 really worth the price?

I was  checking out the 365. Since I don't have a small one. I like the fact it has 10 rounds and the size.

Plus the price is good.

@DirtyDigz loves my 365! It’s a nice wittle gun. I still can’t figure out how they get 10 rounds in a tic tac box. 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?

Dan Wesson

+1 on the Dan Wesson

I bought the Dan Wesson Vigil commander in 9mm. Lightweight with a forged aluminum frame. Excellent fit and finish with a MSP of $1298. Also in full size and 45 acp.

For ambi controls I like the HK VP9

 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.

Or if you want to spend a bit more and still be relatively inexpensive;

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.

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.)

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
