Hypothetically speaking

[Moped]

I’ve been buying mags. Picked another Taurus G2C mag yesterday.

[Parrothead]

Well, it happened today. Ran across a Sig p239. It’s in 40 (for now). Sig and HK always seem to take my money.

Do you have a backup for your primary carry gun?

Let’s say you have the “basics” covered. Single stack carry, double stack carry, home defense and etc. you’ve got a 500-600 itching pocket, what are you buying? 

I reached that point over the summer. I turned to purchasing silencers.

I quit buying firearms a couple years ago and focused on upgrading everything I had / buying spare parts. Theres only been a couple exceptions and given recent political events I am glad I did. I would suggest something similar since you stated you have all the basics covered.

I've have to buy the first single and double stacked guns because I only have wheels!

Nothing wrong with wheel guns.

Revolver.

Yep. Just ordered a Taurus 605. Don't laugh! It's actually a pretty good little pistol. Just wish I'd done it sooner. Then I might not have gotten that Rock Island M206 last week. I haven't taken it out yet, but lets just say it ain't as pretty as the Taurus. lol

Nothing wrong with Taurus. But at some point find a nice used S&W. I promise, you'll be glad you did.

Bragging or complaining?

[Raoul]

So many guns....so little time

[Snaveba]

My only wheel gun is an early S&W 32 Hand Ejector that belonged to my grandfather. 

[Snaveba]

And speaking of s&W 32long. Anyone have a box the want to part with?  My dad has been wanting to shoot his dad’s old pistol recently but we can’t find any s&W 32long around Nashville.

I would be interested in finding a used S&W 686 or a ruger gp100. A good wheel gun is on my list, but the reality is that I'm probably gonna buy ammo and magazines and maybe another couple of steel targets for my range. Or maybe I'll make and SBR, 200 for the stamp and 400 to finish an upper in 7.62x39. 

Wheel, Wheel, Wheel..... Is my voodoo working. Did you go out and buy a 3 inch 686+ yet? Let me know if it works because I want to use it on my wife!

I have 3 22 rifles, and gave a 4th new 10 22 to my youngest grandson in 2020. Also have 2 22magnums, although the magnum ammo is much more expensive if you can find it. Don't shoot the mags much because of the cost and availability. One mag is a Marlin bolt rifle with a 3X9X40 cheap Tasco  scope on it.  The other is a Taurus 8 shot mdl 917 with a 3"brl K frame size revolver.  I have 2 22LR handguns, one a S W mdl 317 9 shot 3" ultra ight  revolver and a Sig Mosquito semi-auto pistol. I use these tow to introduce new shooters into the shooting game. I find they work much better starting women shooting because the of the reduced recoil and sound. 

One can never have too many 22's on hand. Cheap to shoot, and much fun for cheap shooting and practice.  I agree with most here unless you need a specific gun to add to your brace.

My bucket list still has a 22 on it, a S W victory, or the latest model of the  Ruger Mark's. The last model Ruger is much easier to take apart and put back together.  I have always had a love affair with 22's. 

I have a few...but you have my meager set all shamed. I need a few more. lol

So many choices! Well SOME choices anyway. $5-600 would be hard choice nine months ago, limited now with inflated prices. Been wanting an 8 round 357 or a 44. either in 2 or 3 inch barrel. Just ran across a 2 inch 45 acp wheelgun today that would scratch the itch and work with the ammo I already have

but yeah,,,another 22 would be good. Maybe two. There is that Bearcat Shopkeeper on arms list been wanting to gift my wife.

 

Gotta ask...a 2" 45 wheelie? What is it. Where is it? did you buy it? lol

Nah, I haven't bought anything yet but I'm being opportunistic for whatever comes up on the used market.

My lawyers are telling me not to comment on if it works on my wife or not.

2 inch barrel .45 ACP revolver. it was on ARMSLIST.COM in Tennessee. It is a Charter Arms Pitbull listed outside Chattanooga. No, I haven't bought it,,,yet.

 

[monkeylizard]

I'd spend it on a cheap O/U (Savage 555, Mossberg Silver Reserve, etc.) shotgun and go break some clays. 100 packs of 12ga shells are always in stock at Wally World.
