With an upper limit of $600, you have MANY good guns to choose from. If you figure to back off $100 for transfer fees, then the limit becomes $500. A quick look at Bud's Gunshop turned up these two (they have many in your price range): Ruger GP100 .357 $500 In .45 acp, the Citadel...

Next AMT longslide I see, I'll buy it. In the mean time, I just bought this from Bud's Gunshop. I think I bought the last one they had. If you can find one, these are very nice pistols. I have switched mine to a 'left side only' thumb safety, swapped out the mainspring housing internals...

I have five 1911 pistols in four different lengths (3, 4, 5, and 6 inch barrels). All run reliably and are accurate. The few times I have had issues, they were quickly traced to bad magazines or 'powder puff' loads that didn't generate enough recoil to effectively operate the action. I don't...

I have two 3 inch guns, a four, a five, and a six inch longslide. All are accurate and reliable. Breakdown as to brand: Kimber 2 Springfield 2 Sig 1 I'm not in to brand loyalty. I just like good guns. I bought the two 3 inch Kimbers for carry (one for me, one for my wife) I bought...

I've heard many claims of the little pistols being un-reliable but I have yet to experience it personally. We have two of the little Kimber Ultra II pistols and both have run flawlessly since day one. I carry this one: My wife carries a Crimson Ultra Carry II with Crimson trace grips and an...

If you really want an O/U, check the latest CDNN catalog. There are several decent guns in there at your price point. You won't see a Browning or Beretta at $1k, but you will see Weatherby Orion and Winchester, as well as a couple of others. I would second the notion that you stay away from...

As to 'budget' double guns; If you want one that actually works (goes bang when you pull the trigger and both barrels shoot in the same general direction), then you may have more than a little difficulty finding one. Good luck finding any double gun with a plastic stock. I'm not trying to be...

All these folks have offered good suggestions. We have two 22 autos in the house. A Ruger Mark III Hunter (6" bbl) and a Beretta Neos (4" bbl). The Neos is an odd looking pistol, but feels great in the hand and is easy to shoot well. It isn't as muzzle heavy as the Ruger, but muzzle flip is...

The little Ultra 45s are nice guns. I am rather fond of my Eclipse, especially in a Del Fatti holster: I also have a Springfield Champion I carry, again, in Del Fatti leather: Bill.

I'm a 1911 45 acp guy, but in the case of only being able to own one, it would have to be a 4 inch .357 Smith. As much as I love my 1911 pistols and the .45 ACP cartridge, the .357 gets the nod for versatility. That being said, my wife owns two .357s. I don't own any. She has a model 19-2 in...

Buy the gun that feels 'right' in your hand, chambered in the cartridge you want to use when defending your wife and children. Then, buy a good holster and a good gun belt. Once you have all that stuff gathered up, accept the fact that you will have to dress around the gun. Some manufacturers'...

I'm really focused when looking at a firearm. I won't even pick it up from the counter without asking first. Except in a gun shop, I do not ask to see someone else's firearm. I was raised that this is very bad manners. When handling a firearm in a gun shop, I treat it as if it were loaded...

I make no distinction when reading threads. Some are informative, some funny, and some are not worthy of my time. I won't post if I feel a 'rant' coming on, or I can't add something of value. My dignity is important to me and I am not willing to sacrifice it for the sake of passion. I wish to...

Good Job! Take em shootin. By the way, isn't "mei mei" Mandarin for 'little sister'? Bill.

We have a lot of them. As long as they stay in the woods and do coon stuff, I ignore them. When they get on the deck and act rude, I shoot them. Same with possums. I use a 22 because it's handy. Upon occasion, I will use a 45 if it is closer to hand than a 22. They aren't bad little...

First and foremost, a man must live with his actions and his conscience. In my opinion, if a person decides to commit a crime in full knowledge that they might be shot in the process, then that person has accepted responsibility for the consequences of their own actions and the shooter should...

I carry a 1911 because it feels like an old friend in my hand, I can hit with it, it always works, and those big fat bullets inspire me with great confidence. Bill.

My wife bought a 19-2 (1960's vintage) at a gunshow. It is in unfired / new condition with the original box, owner's manual, and sight adjusting screwdriver. She said it was "Really pretty" and gladly paid $450 for the gun. Gotta love that woman! She will never fire the 19. It's a 'collector...

I am a 1911 guy. I have a lot of confidence in the .45 acp cartridge and the guns are very easy to carry (thin and flat). When I went looking for a carry gun, I found the Kimber Eclipse Ultra (3 inch barrel) to fit my requirements perfectly. It's all steel and chambered in 45. It is also quite...

Any predictions as to trouble from legal carry in airports is just foolishness. We have that in Washington and it has been this way for many years. From Washington state law RCW 9.41.300 Weapons prohibited in certain places - Local laws and ordinances - Exceptions - Penalty. (non relevant...
