I set up at a gun show this weekend and it was probably the best show I've ever had. I sold a lot of guns, a lot of brass, a lot of old holsters I had laying around, and a lot of other odds and ins. I ended up selling off quite a few of my cheaper guns (ie Taurus and RIA) and I'd really like to start replacing them with mid-range/mid-value guns.
The problem is, I don't really know what all I want to replace them with. I sold one full size 1911 in .45 and I'm fairly certain that I'd like to replace it with another 1911 except in 9mm. Doesn't necessarily have to be brand new. I'm thinking possibly a nice Springfield Loaded Target in 9mm or Kimber Custom Target 9mm. Any other suggestions?
I also sold one of my least used CCW options so I'd thinking about possibly replacing it. I was able to get my hands on a recent production S&W 360 with the scandium frame. And while I never had any interest in J-Frame Smiths, this one simply blew me away at how light it was. I'm really enamored with this gun for some reason. Maybe it's just a temporary fad for me, but seems like nothing in the CCW arena has really "spoken" to me like this gun did in a LONG time.
But other than those two options, I'm really option to suggestions. We're talking a max budget of $2800-$2900. Kind in mind, I'm not looking to blow my whole budget on one ultra high end gun (I'm currently having a Fusion 10mm built, so I don't want to spend more money on another high end pistol). I have ZERO interest in suggestions like "Buy a Rock Island and spend the rest on ammo". I'd like to get as much out of my budget as possible. So, 1-2-3 let's have it!
