Hi all. Been quite some time since I've been on this site. I'm getting back
into the shooting sports and replenishing my gun inventory. A few years ago I sold off quite a few guns due to some medical bills I had to pay. I wanted to replace at least (3) of the guns I had before:
Ruger P95 w/ss slide
Beretta 92FS - used to have a ss model
S&W 686 - 4".
I was at a couple of shops this week and was surprised at some of the costs.
I live in Illinois and here are some of the costs:
Ruger P95 - $395.00 plus tax
Beretta 92FS - black - $600 + tax SS - $795.00 plus tax
S&W 686 - $800.00 plus tax.
I'm like wow! Have prices really gone up that much. I haven't bought a new gun in quite some time, but it just seemed high to me.
I'd also like a .45acp 1911, but will probably pass out once I see the prices.
I know if you want to play you got to play. I just want a fiar deal.
Advise and thanks.
