I'm working a fair amount of OT right now and want to reward myself with another firearm purchase next month, and I'd appreciate some input from you'll. This firearm will only be a "fun" gun, rather than serve any designated HD/PD purpose. Thanks.

Well, You should buy a Minigun. tons of fun and you can mow down weeds with it. I think the last transferable one sold for roughly $108,000. There ya go. You need to buy that.

Now, here is how this is going to work. People are going to chime in here with their favorite pet gun. You will hear from the CZ fanboys, the 1911 fanboys, the fudds, the tacticool group and the glock fanboys.

After they all get done telling you about their particular favorite, your choice will be... Every single gun ever made. So, how would you make a choice?

So, since the minigun is a "fun" gun, that is my suggestion. Hope it helps.

Or.... you could buy what you want, or at least give us an idea of what you like....
 
OK, let me try to be more clear...

I really like the looks of the Colt 1918 repro, but my middle-aged eyes probably won't like the small sights as much as the "better" new 70 Series sights. (Hell, I may even think about an older minty cond. 70 Series Gold Cup for that matter.)

The S&W 945 really looks great, and I've read a lot of good things about them, but I've never handled or shot one, and they're rather pricey compared to my other options (especially, for a pistol I have no experience with).

The Browning BAR-22 is a beautifully .22 rifle, but I have no experience with this rifle and I'm wondering how difficult they are to field-strip and clean.

I'm not really interested in buying anything other than what I've listed/mentioned (at least not at this time).


My budget won't handle a mini-gun. The price of a NIB S&W 945 is about the ceiling for what I want to spend...



thanks

Fold a piece of paper into fourths. Write each choice in a quadrant. Have a blind monkey throw darts at the paper. Where the dart lands there you shall buy.

Now, and this is very important. Hold onto the paper. Next windfall do the same thing but cut out the portion with the gun bought last time. With enough overtime eventually you'll have no paper, all your guns, and nice little home improvement project for the winter when the weather is to bad to be messing around outside. After all you're wife will be furious that you periodically let a blind monkey play with darts in the house, and want you be patching the blind monkey dart holes.

Of course you'll never get around to something so unimportant as patching holes in the wall with all the reloading, and gun cleaning you have to do. But it'll be there for you when feel the need to be domestic.

One other piece of advice rent the monkey. Monkey chow is expensive considering the use you get out of those things. I know you'd think you could rent it out to parties etc, but there's just no market there so rent don't buy is the rule when it comes to blind monkeys.

PS - don't ask how I know that about the marketability of blind monkeys, please.

I don't know which is sadder, the fact that you would consider that remotely humorous, or the time I wasted reading it. Now here's my suggestion for you, if you don't have any constructive input then spare us your lame sarcasm...
