If you found $500 what gun would you buy

[roachcore]

I wouldn't buy a gun with $500, because the ones I want are usually a couple hundred more.

Sorry I can't live up to your standards

They can have my guns...bullets and bayonets first

 

[wlewisiii]

Depends on the phase of the moon and this is the auto pistol forum, but I'd probably get a Walther PPK. Really though, I'd rather a nice L-Frame S&W revolver.

 

[TennJed]

I agree with your concept but 20 mags? I have a total of 8 semi autos and have less than 20 total mags.

I would buy cast lead and stock up on reloading supplies.

2000 380 = $80
2000 9mm = $80
2000 357/38 = $120
2000 45 colt = $160
2000 primers = $60

Now i I found $1000 I would get all the above and a S&W M&P 9mm

 

[mark1616]

I dunno.. maybe a Savage .308, or a Glock 27, or a Ruger GP100... I also wanted a S&W 442 to accompany my 642. Dang, I'm not sure.

 

[Swichblade]

If I had to spend it on a gun, I would buy a Ruger LCR. If it has to be an autoloader, I would probably buy an RIA G.I. 1911.

 

[gofastman]

Hi Point CF380
Actually, its the next gun on my list.
I need something for testing hot 380 handloads

 

[CapnMac]

This being the autopistol section, I'll skip over the shopping for an M-1 Carbine, or maybe a GSG-22.
Instead, it would be a tossup between a Rock Island in GI guise, or a Colt 1903. But, if i found a CZ-52, and a 9mm barrel too--that, would bear a lot of thinking about (especially having some change left over for a rug and extra magazines).

I just scored 500.00 going to my lgs today and pick up a nib rock tac yeah baby!!!!!!!

 

[miles1]

$500--------------> CZ75 B 9mm or 40 S&W in a heartbeat.I dont own one but i want one and probably will have one in my possesion in another 2 weeks

That's what lay-a-way is for.

 

[rbernie]

Down payment on a Kimber TLE.

 

[bikerdoc]

Always wanted to try a Taurus 1911. Not many bad experiences that I've read about with these and price is pretty reasonable.

got one in 9mm and one in 45. Nary a problem.

 

[Brian Williams]

Keltec pf-11
Glock 36 or
Glock 30 then get a bunch of g21 mags.
Really would get a S&W Model 10 from bud's, they have 4" HB with round grips for $269.

 

[almherdfan]

Ruger SR22 and Hi-Point .45

 

[MikePaiN]

If I fell into $500 right now.....I'd sell my Sig Mosquito, combine the money and get the Ruger LC9 and SR22.....What ever was left I'd use to ammo up.

 

[Biggs19]

I agree with the others that gear, training and ammo are all important, but I'll stick with the question as stated and assume that the $500 is only good for a gun.

At this given minute, I'd probably go with the Ruger LCP or LC9 - both well under $500 new. Would be nice to have something ultra concealable. Spec Comparison - LCP vs. LC9

I would also keep a close eye on the used market for a well-loved bargain. There are lots of those out there these days and it would greatly increase the options in that price range.

And if I could shake an extra $200 out of my couch cushions, I'd love an STI Spartan.

Have fun!

 

[LiquidTension]

$500 could get you a really nice .22 can and also pay for the tax stamp.

 

[ritepath]

Ruger P345

 

[Shipwreck]

Beretta 92FS - $499-$520 all day long at Houston area gunshows

 

[JustinJ]

SW M&P Compact in .357 or .40

 

[Mikey Idaho]

Beretta Nano to go along with my concealed permit I'll be getting next month.

 

[roachcore]

I tried out the nano the other day it is much bigger than I expected about the same size as my xdsc except thinner. It did feel nice in the hand though it should be a pretty nice carry gun for iwb

They can have my guns...bullets and bayonets first

 

[Furncliff]

I have a couple of CZ's, if you don't have one you really should try one.

My other choice would be an RIA 1911 in 9mm.

 

[USAF_Vet]

I'm done buying guns for awhile, so it would go toward mags and ammo.

 

[wditto]

Cz .45
