Just for fun

[none]

Ok so I have been really frugal for the past 6 months knew we would be moving and not rally sure how much the new mortgage would be etc. Well now it seems that well I have a nice little surplus of funds well over and above.what we normally save etc. So now I am kicking around the idea of getting some thing to shoot just for the fun of it. I have never really bought a firearm just for fun they have been purchases to fill a need. So I am looking for something fun to shoot could be either a handgun or long rifle. Best thing is my wife signed off on the idea so what are some things to consider keeping in mind I would really like something affordable to shoot and availability of ammo. Kind of looking in the $1k range thoughts?


Thank you

Fun, I would recommend AR15!

If you don't have a lever gun of some kind yet you're missin out on a ton of fun IMO. For 1k you could grab one and have plenty left over for ammo. For fun if say go with a .38/.357 . Lots of fun and ammo is fairly cheap.

Purely for fun?

Pistol caliber carbine in whatever caliber and magazine setup you have guns in.

Semi autos in 45 acp 9mm and 380 and 22lr. I am kind of leaning towards a long gun.

AK 47?  Pretty cheap to feed
