Ugh!   ....Another "last permit so what do I get" thread?.... yeah but we all love'em. So please help me out, brothers.  FWIW, I'm set up for reloading .45acp.

 

So here's what I got:

 

Ruger SR9 9mm

Colt/Walther Gold Cup Trophy 1911 .22lr

STI Lawman 1911 .45acp

S&W 625PC 4"  .45acp

Springer XDS 9mm

 

Funds limit is around $550, maybe $600 if I really like it. I was thinking Makarov but can't decide between 9x18 or .380acp and it'd really be a range toy only.  So what'ah you guys think should be next?

Your budget puts you smack dab in large frame (.45 & 10mm) Glock territory.

You got me interested, but I can't find it on their site?

Here ya go..... I think this is the one Krdshrk means.

Israeli Police FN Hi Power - http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1FNHPMK3I&name=Israel+Police+FN+Belgium+MK+3+Hi+Power+9mm+Pistol&groupid=5664

 

The link Splat posted are Hi Powers as well...

 

Cosmetically they're going to be a bit rough.  I got a "select grade" one a couple weeks ago.  Haven't shot it yet but it looks a bit worn, but sound.

Cool, Thanks. I was using the sidebar menu to look and was coming up empty.

S&W 686 4"

Yeah - it's under the Surplus and Used Handguns section.

White Sphinx ....they are bad ass

Walther PPQ 45cal.......since you're set up for 45 already.

All good suggestions. I'm torn between going with something I don't reload or stay with either 9mm or .45acp. I'm not setup for 9mm but figure I will be come next year... maybe around Feb or March. Lately I've been thinking foreign for some reason.... I like the High Power but I already have a 1911 which is pretty close to the HP.  Any other suggestions? Thanks.

a used P226 in 9mm

 

my brother in law got one a while back for 500 in really good condition and it shoots like a champ.  love sigs

 

if you can increase your budget, i'd highly recommend the elite stainless version

How about a Sig 220 in .45?

Ammo and range time.

Similar but not the same!

 

No grip safety!  Double-stack mags and higher capacity.  You can get 15-round mags for it too..

For that budget you could pick up 2 EAA's and some extra CZ75 mags to go with them...I picked up a EAA/SAR B6P and 3 spare 17 rd mags for right around $300 a couple months ago.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

FNX-45...15rds of .45...DA/SA...

I agree with jeepster. 686 4". Figgin awesome wheelgun. Semi's get boring. Revolvers are timeless. They are always sexy.

Glock G4 is right in your price range

Already have a wheelgun... S&W 625 4" 45acp. Yep, I love it. I like the way the FN's and H&K's look but I'll pass on them...  I guess I'm looking for something .....different?  I was looking at a P38, then started thinking about how I hate the way Glocks look but have been curiously interested in getting one on and off for a while.... I don't know... maybe I should just start an AR build.

No offense. But thats kinda like a response a women would give. I kinda like you. But im not really sure Maybe giveme some time. I really dont know. Ill think about it. You need to impulse buy.

LOL! No offense taken. I'm sure there's quite a few here that have been indecisive in handgun purchases before. The XDS I bought on Black Friday was pure impulse buy, and yes, it felt good. What a damn good gun the XDS is too.

LOL since you're so indecisive, I'll pimp the Glock 20 G4...tons of 10mm fun. Plus you can get Lone Wolf conversion barrels to shoot 40 S&W and 357 Sig
