What if?

[Lord Soth]

What if you were given $2000 to spend on a single new handgun? What would you get? What you have done to it?

 

[WonderNine]

New rollmark Colt .45

and a Ruger Blackhawk in .45.

then a Kahr PM9

save the rest

 

[Justin]

Probably a Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special, or a Walther GSP Black Magic.

GSP Black Magic

 

[T.Stahl]

SIG 210-5 Sport Heavy Frame.

 

[dairycreek]

Wilson CQB.........

with lots of ammo. Good shooting

 

[faustulus]

I'd have a .38 super built on a Caspian lighweight frame and a commander slide, with the deepest blueing I could find.

 

[BerettaNut92]

Another P7M8 and a buttload of mags.

 

[New_comer]

Not even enough to buy me a MK23...

 

[ThePerfectOne]

definately a desert eagle in .44 magnum
.50AE is tempting, but ammo is just too expensive

 

[Tamara]

C96 Broomhandle Mauser.

Oh. You said "new"...

Hmmm... Either a Baer TRS or a Wilson CQB; whichever I found first.

 

[Sisco]

Maybe a Freedon Arms in 44 mag.

What you have done to it?

For two grand I better not have to have anything done to it! But I probably would add a scope.

 

[Jeff OTMG]

For a single pistol I would also have to go with the P210-5. Or it would get me about half way through an engraving and gold inlay job on my German Walther PPK.

 

[Jeeper]

definately a desert eagle in .44 magnum

I think the question was about buying a handgun not a artificial penis

 

[RCL]

Freedom Arms Field Grade in .454 Casull, 4 3/4" barrel, go for the action job and the black micarta grips, and one of there cross draw holters to boot.

 

[otomik]

$990 Colt 1911A1 WWII Reproduction
$500 Customization to make a colt acceptable
$375 500 Rounds of Corbon 230 Grain .45ACP +P
$125 Fedora
$10 Lots and Lots of Toothpicks (ala Chow Yun Fat)
the look on the BG's face, priceless

 

[goon]

In order to fit those stipulations, I would go with a Pre-ban Krinkov SBR 223 built on a Norinco 84 reciever with a folding stock and a 30 rounder loaded with ballistic tips.
My permit says I can carry a firearm, it doesn't say it has to be a handgun.
I'd need a custom holster.....

 

[Chris Rhines]

Probably something along the lines of an RRA Bullseye Wadcutter 1911A1. Only mods would be a set of Nill adjustable stocks. Anything left over would go towards a Dillon 550.

[cratz2]

Right now? A single brand new hand gun? Probably a really good deal on a Springfield Pro. If I couldn't get one under $2,000, then a Rock River Arms Limited Match with Novak sights. If I didn't want to wait 18 months, then probably a HK P7M8 and several cases of ammo.

 

[Soap]

Baer TRS. Save the difference to later buy a second Baer TRS.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Sig 220 and all the ammo I could carry.

Stop at a nice restaurant for lunch on the way back.

 

[sm]

Colt Mil-Spec, crisp 4# trigger
ammo
holster, belt
still more mags
Mike's got the right idea...steak and tail , cheesecake and coffee for dessert.

 

[sonoranjack]

Buy a second Glock 17 $470. Add Mep nightsights $65, 3.5# trigger job $65, & extended mag catch $30/slide stop $18 total $178. W/ pistol $178 + $470 = $648. New holster $110. $648 + $110 = $758. $2,000 - $758 = $1242. Spend the $1242 on a national training school, 5 days.

 

[bad_dad_brad]

I do so covet a Sig P210, upscale, and loaded. That would probably take care of most of the 2 grand.

 

[Ala Dan]

Most likely a SIG P210-6.

Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member

 

[J.Gillespie]

A Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, Wal Mart edition ($24.95). 18 k Gold BB's to shoot right out that fine barrel. Custom engraving on the stock saying: My best friend. With me through the good times, never left me in the bad times.

And then I would take the remaining $1900 and buy a kick butt 1911
