I am kind of all over the place with my gun wants right now.
I am really enjoying aluminum framed 9mms as well as my Ruger PC Carbine.
In the 90's, right before the Clinton ban, I was going to buy a Colt 9mm AR. I had it stashed away, but the store where I was working was making a killing on all things AR, so I let the owner sell it, thinking I would get one from the next batch. Well that did not happen. I did stash away some Colt magazines in hopes that I would one day pick up a 9mm Colt AR.
Lately I have been seeing lots of ads for the Springfield Armory Saint. After spending a few hours on youtube and the internet, they appear to be good rifles. I realize that this would not do anything my Ruger couldn't do, it would be more of scratching an itch from long ago.
I haven't seen any posts in a while on THR about these, but I know a few folks picked them up.
Does anybody have any insights to share? I know that Colt still makes them, but they are harder to get in CA. I would love to have one with an A1 upper, but I am not seeing any of those in production and don't feel like building one.
I am trying to keep nostalgia in check, but it is getting hard.
