I'm thinking about picking up another handgun.
Without going into all the details of the why's and how's, I'm looking at a few models. So far, it's the:
Springfield Armory Mil-spec's (WWII and regular)
Rock Island Armory Mil-spec (is that what it's called?)
Ruger P90
Ruger P89
I'd like to add a CZ75B in there, but I can't seem to find them at the price I want to pay.
I can pick up the S.A.'s for about $420.00 and $470.00
R.I.A. for $350.00
Rugers for about $350.00-$390.00
Wish I could find some of the prices I hear about in other parts of the country, but these are the best I have found thus far.
Of course, I'd like the most reliable and durable specimen out of the picks I mentioned.
I've heard that the R.I.A.'s are not exactly G.I parts interchangeable. Is that true? I'm concerned as far as repairs and such. Although, I will most likely leave these pistols stock. I really don't foresee having any upgrades done, I want them out of the box "plain jane".
The intended role of this pistol would be for the usual tasks I guess. Things like range shooting, car gun, HD, etc. Not for CCW. That's another story...
I'm leaning towards the S.A. Mil-spec's, can't beat the lifetime warranty. Just not crazy about the ILS system. Could take it out and replace the MSH and whatnot...Hmmm.
Thanks everyone!
