Should I buy another handgun or get a rifle.?

mssandy713 · Jun 25, 2012

I'm torn, i'm trying to decide if I should buy another handgun to my collection or get a m&p 15-22. I don't any experience with rifles but is curious. But on the other hand I'm itching to add to my small gun collection.

I vote 15-22.

Everyone needs a rifle.
15-22 owners seem to be a very happy lot.

Cannot go wrong either way

Q. Should I buy another handgun or get a rifle?

A. Yes

I agree...everyone needs a rifle. In fact, you should consider getting a rim-fire (such as the 15-22), and then later adding a decent semi-auto center-fire rifle (such as AK, AR, SKS, M1A, etc.), if your budget and local regs. allow.

Get the handgun first, then get the rifle. Or get the rifle, then get the handgun. Ah heck, get get both! My opinion should not be considered. I have a problem!

I agree with M&P Freak. The answer is yes.

But don't stop at A handgun or rifle. You need SEVERAL more, and soon.

The M&P15/22 is okay. It's fun, and my 10 year old is deadly accurate with the iron sights on it. He even made me take off the holographic sight I bought for him.

I vote you buy me a rifle, or handgun, your choice.

Any new firearm is a good choice.

I think I'm becoming a gun nut, I just brought another handgun in April and I'm already itching to buy another. But.... I'm sure I can justify a reason why I need another one....

No reason is needed. Then again, I have a harder time talking myself OUT of buying a gun than I do IN to buying one.

I bought an xd40 april first. Taurus judge the 5th, ruger sr40c the 13th, 15-22 June 9th, and a savage fv-sr june 15th. You think you have an addiction?

I love my M&P 15-22. If you do not own a rifle I suggest adding one to your collection. It is a blast to shoot!

vipermd · Jun 25, 2012

I vote both BUT< get the 15-22, ammo is cheap and it will give you good training for the follow up AR-15. Then 22 pistol to match with your carry gun. Get mags for whatever gun you get ( like 6 per gun ), they will never be cheaper, no extra shipping cost. As Lawman90 said I have to talk myself out of buying guns, since when I buy one I buy a second for my wife! Be Safe,

Whatever you're actually going to shoot.

Shielded · Jun 25, 2012

The M&P 15-22 would be pretty cool, but I agree yes to both if you can swing it. Prices are likely to climb this fall, so keep that in mind.

dannybot · Jun 25, 2012

I love my 15-22, shoot about 500 rds a month. Also bought a MK III the same month as the 15-22, shoot almost as much, but the mags only hold 10 rds...

Reason? We don't need no stinking reason....did Edmund Hillary need a reason to climb Everest, no it was there. Same thing with seeing a new gun that calls your name.

Seriously guns and S&W's in particular, are an addiction, most of us in here have it. All you can do is control it by occasionally indulging in buying another one, there is no I have enough guns stage that I am aware of.
