What to do with $1200.00

[sammy]

I have come into $1200.00 to spend gun stuff. I am having a hard time deciding what to do with it. I am currently having a love affair with my 1911's. I have a Kimber Stainless Target II 5" and a Wilson CQB 5" that don't leave home with me when I go to the range. I am lusting for a commander length 1911 but with the rising prices of metals stocking up on ammo might be a wiser decision.

Reloading has become as much fun to me as shooting. The fun of formulating reloads and testing has become a great hobby. I currently only have a setup for the .45ACP. So my options are:

1. Buy a new commander sized 1911.

2. Buy powder, primers and bullets to last me for a few years.

3. None of the above.

Go with Door Number 1; buy the new Commander sized M1911. You should still have enough money left over for powder, primers, and bullets.

 

[Feanaro]

None of the above. Give it to me. I'll use it well, don't doubt it.

If you can't find it in your heart to help a poor man like myself, I'd buy the commander.

 

[ZeSpectre]

I voted for supplies.... however for us it's going to be a washer and dryer <sigh>.

 

[2RCO]

It's impossible to have too many 1911s.

 

[possum]

i would say get the reloading supplies, you already have 2 very nice 1911's, i would get the supplies now and then later down the rd get the commander 1911.

 

[rugerfreak]

How are ya set for rifles and shotguns?

 

[altez]

I'd say save it! : D

 

[DerbyDale]

None of the above... I'm saving mine...

 

[10-Ring]

If you save it, the terrorists have already won! Get the 1911 and an abbreviated amount of reloading supplies

"Show Us Whats Behind Door #1"~!

Gravy Gun!

Me, with a $1,200 windfall, I would buy a gun I didn't need. One that didn't really fill any need. One that I would never spend hard earned money on. Something extra, something for show. Something like a Fusion 10mm longslide (www.fusionfirearms.com).

Spare parts for firearms,Ammo,Mags

 

[denfoote]

Hk P7 M13.

 

[Silvanus]

I probably couldn't bring myself to buy only ammo and reloading components (instead of a new pistol) if I had that amount of money to spend. But it would be a wise choice in my opinion.

 

[1KPerDay]

Buy an Evil Black Rifle of some type.

 

[Brian Williams]

Goto Caspianarm.com and get the parts for a Titanium Commander. Then save a bunch of money to have it put together.

 

[Gun Slinger]

Put it in a Roth IRA.

 

[wheelgunslinger]

Yep. Roth IRA.
Make your money make you money. Don't blow it for instant gratification.

 

[1BLINDREF]

Bullets or Black riffle or Colt Python

 

[Browns Fan]

I would have to agree with the ones who said to save it, or pay bills, but I would be sorely tempted not to get a Dan Wesson Valor. I know it's not a commander-type, but it is one georgeous gun!

 

[Iggy]

With the price of metals increasing as fast as they are, reloading supplies may appreciate faster than a Roth........

 

[2TransAms]

Save it. Cloudy,the future is.

But if you must buy a Commander,get a Dan Wesson CBOB.

Ammo
The more you shoot the happier you'll be!

 

[HM2PAC]

None Of The Above.

I would suggest:

1. Extended/Threaded Bbl for your favorite semi pistol.
2. Suppressor.

Check out Jarvis. They can do this for about any gun.
