Ive got $500

[hipower]

$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.

Very well said on both points, sir.

You can't go wrong with the Glock 19. Try Bud's gunshop.com or Topglock.com and I'm pretty sure you can get one delivered for that $500.

Decent 9mm like a Glock 17.
