The most you would spend on any gun?

[FortKnox]

What is the most you would spent on any gun?

For me it would be 500 to 600 out the door. Anything more and it's going to be spent on some rare, hard to find gun.

How about you?

Where are you sending it that would cost that much?

I like cheap Glocks.  I have a hard time spending more than 500 on one and prefer closer to 400.  

Rifles are a different deal and basically wreck havoc on my savings.  

 

[nightrunner]

I'm confused. Do you mean How much would you spend or how much would you send for a gun as opposed to buying FTF?

[gregintenn]

Assuming you meant to type "spend", I'd say it depends on the gun. Personally, I don't have a limit for the right one.

What it's worth, maybe less.

Only as much as I have to. 

My budget does no allow things like Colt Pythons, Barret 50 cals and other things I would love to have.

[Alleycat72]

I have close to  $6k in my F Class gun, but $2500 is in the Nightforce.

I am definitely cheap, most have been under $600, with only a few going over that, and of those they are under 1k.  But I do like a deal, so I've jumped on them when i find them, so I spend a bit anyway.

[FortKnox]

Yes I meant spend. Never drink and post people.

Never drink and surf gunbroker, guns international and the like.  The amount you spend may be quite the surprise when you check your emails the next day.  Well at least that's been my experience anyway.

It was hard to spend $175 on a new zip gun, was easy to drop a few grand on an MP5.  Good things about guns is that decent ones will never lose a penny in value.

Now here's an honest answer.

[MrJones79]

If I have the funds to spare then I'll spend as much as I need to in order to get the gun I want. $500 or $5000 etc. All depends.

This is a question that's better not answered around my wife.

I have no limit on any one gun, but time periods from one purchase to the next is directly proportional. 

Why put a cap on a hobby that you enjoy. 

[nightrunner]

I'm the type to do without until I am able to get the one I want. Might have to save for a while but I decide on a gun then figure out how to pay for it.(This does NOT mean buy on credit, it means how long I have to save for it)

[Danger Rane]

I don't have a specific number to throw out there, but for me it would be however much I could realistically afford to spend without negatively effecting our financial plan at the time. I'm fortunate in that my wife agrees with me that firearms and ammo can be looked at as a very tangible investment, not just a fun hobby, so I've had some leeway in that respect on some larger purchases over the years. That being said, half of my gun collection are pieces under $700, and my EDC/favorite gun to shoot was under $600. I'm in saving mode right now for a high end 1911, and it was really hard here on TGO just before Christmas with everyone and there brother selling off some real beauties, but I'll continue to save until I'm in the price range I'm looking at, and then one of you will be taking my money  

[Johnny Rotten]

If I want it, I'll get it...don't care what it cost

[A.J. Holst]

Cost-wise I've got a HiPoint 995 up to a CZ Custom SDP and Gemini Custom SP101 and stuff in between.

No collector grade firearms, if I own it, I shoot it (or carry it)

I'll never go into debt for a purchase (though I've been tempted by Harvey's 10% down and 10 no interest payments)

Full disclosure: she gave me my most expensive firearm several years ago. Nothing else comes even close. I've actually been looking at guns in a shop and tell her 'I'm thinking about it'; keep browsing; turn around and she's filling out paperwork on the gun...

Yep, she's a keeper!

And before anyone asks, she has two sisters. Both are already married.

[DWARREN123]

Depends on the firearm and how much I wanted it.

[NoBanStan]

$2,500 is the max I could ever spend as a lump sum on a rifle. It would need to be the PERFECT unicorn firearm and I would have regret for weeks. Down the road i would still spend additional money on accessories, but I don't think I would (in my current profession) spend more than this.
