Ive got $500

[Guest WPsharpshooter]

help me spend it!! A couple months back I sold off all my guns and have nothing now so Im looking to purchase something.... What would you get?

[Farman]

3rd gen S&W. Something with an aluminum frame. 5903 for example.

[jtluttrell]

I'd start an AR build.

[LagerHead]

Used XD/XDm. Or start that AR build.

[Warbird]

There's quite a few choices. You need to narrow it down a bit to purpose and what you have had and liked or didn't like in the past.

[Guest WPsharpshooter]

Was kinda thinking of a fun gun along the lines of a M&P 22 then got to thinking that I have nothing in the nightstand LOL... maybe something in a glock or xd flavor

[nightrunner]

used XDM9 or 40

or an XD45

or G20

[Volzfan]

Sig SP 2022 40cal.

[Smith]

If it will be your only gun I'd suggest a good carry gun ala - Glock17/19, CZ P07, M&P, XD etc. Keeping the same utilitarian mindset in long guns, maybe a nice Remy 870 or Pardner Pump (870 clone cheaper) decked out. Knoxx Spec-ops stock and all or a good AK. Later as you get more you can add the eye candy pieces.

Used Glock 19/23.

[mousegunner]

GLOCK 27. It's a good all around gun, and 40S&W is available in quantity at WalMarts across TN.

[JeffL]

Used Glock 19/23.

Agreed. Nothing wrong with the Springfield XD either.

[Almond27]

GLOCK 27. It's a good all around gun, and 40S&W is available in quantity at WalMarts across TN.

I like your 27 suggestion also because if you want to shoot 9mm drop a barrel in and shoot for 9mm for cheap target practice if I ever get a Glock I think it will be a .40 just for this fact alone. But my personal suggestion is a Springfield XD they fit my hand better than the Block's.

[Guest Baddawg865]

I would also have to go with the XD vote. I do like glock, but my xdm 40 is the smoothest shot'en 40 i have ever shot! I know the xdm is a little more, so i would get the xd 40!

[JReedEsq]

Glock 19 or XD9

[Wingshooter]

For me, I would go with an Rem 870 if it would double as a defense/hunting gun. If I wanted a carry gun, I would get a Glock or maybe Ruger SP101.

[Guest mikedwood]

G19 or G26 if I were gunless. If I had one gun it would be a G26 so I'd get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500.

[Alpha7]

A barret 50 cal.

[Alpha7]

course for 500 dollars you could probably only by the trigger of the barret lol

[Capbyrd]

Best way to spend 500 bucks!

Springfield XD 9mm 4" Black, 15 round for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $439.00

[DaveTN]

then got to thinking that I have nothing in the nightstand LOL... maybe something in a glock or xd flavor

M&P 40 for the nightstand or a 40C if you also want to carry it.

Besides being better quality than either of those; its American Made.

[Shima]

Used Glock 19/23.

$500...My vote is the best bang for the buck possible.

-2 tickets to a movie or fun event

-2 tickets to a nice dinner

-Some flowers for the lady

-a car wash

-a haircut

-maybe a pair of inexpensive, but nice earrings in her favorite color

-Set the stage and let her know a couple of days ahead of time.

- Like a drink?....some nice Appleton VX rum to sip after a hard day

You are up to around $150-$200. Any of the stains here who say this is not money well spent is doing something wrong.

This will give you $300 - $350 left. Keep patient and pick up a good condition, older model, pre lock Smith and Wesson .38 and a box of ammo. Or maybe a Blackhawk or Single Six. Something that one day will be passed onto your child...who may very well be brought into existance if above steps have been taken :-)

We lose sight, as gun lovers, how much money is dumped into our hobby. It is healthy to step back to the real world and invest every now and then into something that will give much more satisfaction than blued steel, walnut, and the smell of powder.

Glock 19, you can buy them new in some stores for $510. Yeah you have to add tax and TICS but hey save a few more dollars. I have one and love it.
