Wanna Play? Which would you pick?

[triplebike]

Here's the scoop, you must choose one NIB semi auto in each of following calibers that "you would own". .22LR, 9MM LUGER & .45 ACP.

Each of the above must have a MSRP of NO MORE THAN $500. (HI-POINT FIREARMS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS THREAD).

Which three would you pick? Here's mine;

1 - Browning Buckmark Camper (.22) MSRP - $399

2- Stoeger Cougar 8000 (9MM) MSRP - $469

3- Stoeger Cougar 8045 (.45) MSRP - $499

triplebike,

These are what I would have chosen. Price being no object.

All of these prices were taken from Budsgunshop.

Ruger 22/45 Mark III 22LR 5" Blued ADJUSTABLE SIGHTS $258.00

Kahr Arms 7 + 1 Round 9MM w/3.5" Barrel/Polymer Frame & Stai $406.00

Para Ordnance GI Expert 45acp $486.00

 

[jonnyc]

You killed me with both NIB and $500 limit. I could do it if you suspend one of those rules.
1. Buckmark
2. Hi-Power
3. 1911A1

 

[triplebike]

My point of NIB & $500 MSRP is that there are very good handguns made that fit the criteria. I started this thread to see what you guys would own given the above guidelines. It's easy to say I'd own this or that but when you're restricted to price & must buy new, I feel it takes a little more research to make a smart buying decision.

 

[speaksoftly]

Why must you buy new? I see used guns like I see used cars...if in good shape, I'm glad to let someone else take the initial "hit" of the MSRP.

1- Firestorm 22/6 ($260)

[Hamsen]

.22 Heritage rough rider $279.99

Thats the most expensive Heritage rough rider I've seen

I can get that gun for $165 at Academy Sports

He listed the MSRP. He also played by the rules. (NIB & under $500 MSRP)

Lol...What a tribute!

[Boris bush]

1. Walther P22 (got it)

2. XD9 (got it)

3. Glock 37 (got it, I do not like the way any ACP frame feels, been shooting Glock 9mms forever so its a familiar feel, with ACP 'power'. works for me, no need for an ACP, already got the best 45 out there.. FOR ME..)

 

[jim243]

1. Beretta Neos Inox
2. Taurus PT-92
3. Ruger 345

Do I get any additional points for speed?

Actually you failed since only one of your three choices have a MSRP of $500 or less.

 

[labhound]

1. Ruger Mark III 22/45 Stainless 5.5" barrel (MSRP $448) I own it, new paid $359
2. Stoeger Cougar 8000 F 9mm (MSRP $469) I own it, new paid $419
3. Stoeger Cougar 8045 F .45 ACP (MSRP $499) I own it, paid $449

 

[308sc]

.22LR--Ruger MK111
9mm- CZ 75B-- Yes you can find them right at $500 new
.45--- Rock Island 1911

With that being said buying used always gets more gun for your money if you know how to look.

 

[bigfatdave]

Ruger mkIII (5.5" bull barrel, blued)
Springer XD9sc
Citadel compact 1911

That should leave me money for extra magazines and XD/1911 CrossBreed holsters, based on actual prices I paid for those exact firearms.

 

[ATBackPackin]

1. SIG P522 $451.00
2. Kahr CW9 $406.00 I own this one
3. RIA 1911A1-SC $412.00

Since I came under my budget I would get NS's for the last two pistols.

[Vern Humphrey]

Mine are:

1. Colt Woodsman (made in 1938) which I got for $225.

2. No 9mm -- don't need one.

3. Colt or Kimber M1911. With the savings on the Woodsman and not buying the 9mm, I have $1,375 to spend here.

 

[Quiet]

1. GSG 1911 ($350)
2. Glock 19 ($425)
3. Glock 30SF ($491)

 

[sidheshooter]

Taurus PT .22 (I've had a lot of fun with mine over the years)
Glock 17
RIA tactical

 

[texas bulldog]

I honestly don't have much interest in a .22 semi-auto. But if those are the requirements:
1. RIA 1911 GI - $399
2. Kimber .22 conversion kit - $289
3. CZ 75B - $493

Prices taken from Bud's Guns. With the money I saved, I'll take come Crimson Trace grips.

yeah I was listing MSRP from the website. I can also find NIB ruger p95 for around 300 here. But the rules state MSRP.
