I Don't "Need" a Gun...but???

[Redcoat3340]

I don't "need" a handgun. I've got more than enough for carry in most any caliber you can choose (except 10mm), plenty of "collectibles" (ala Beretta 1951, 92s, 92 [actually, that one is a Taurus] and 92FX, and a PX4), and range toys.

So I haven't been chasing anything lately. And I miss it.

Anyone have a neato suggestion of something decent, not all that common, and affordable (under $600) in today's overinflated gun marketplace?

Maybe a Star Super B or a bargain Model 10. Or I should just be smart and invest the money getting a few more a what I got slicked up.

Wadda ya think?

There are factory refurbished stainless PPK's in .380 on the big site for $619.

Considering that new ones go for 800, I took a chance. Apparently with the original case, paperwork, extra mag, and warranty.


I'll post it when I get it.

2” RB model 10 gets my vote. Might even have a couple bucks left over for ammo

EAA's Girsan replica of the Browning Hi-Power might be to you liking and the price is right.

I never really needed to buy a gun. Need is irrelevant...............WANT is what filled my safe.

Have you thought about any 3rd gen s&w 9 mm,10 mm, .40,.45 cal. they are all great guns. Accurate and built like tanks. (and about as heavy)

I'm on a self-imposed moratorium on gun buying. (Well, unless of course, I see something I can't live without!)

I have all my gun needs covered multiple times. It's now been a year and a half since my last firearm purchase, and it was a grail gun (Rem. 1100). Since then I've been upgrading what I do have, plus buying components when I see them for decent prices.

One of the Grand Power pistols with the rotating barrel lock-up.

I just ordered one of these myself, for right at $500 out the door, for the two tone model. Just waiting on word that it has arrived.

I picked a Star "Ultra Star" 9mm a couple of months ago. It was cheap (<300) and I had never actually seen one. Sort of an odd beast I suppose. Conventional DA/SA trigger, single stack (9+1) with a steel subframe and a polymer overframe I guess is the only way I can think of to describe it. It's called a compact, and I suppose it was in it's day.

I admit that I use it mostly as an ELMS platform, but I have live fired it, and it is a shooter. Part of that may be that I've learned the sights and the trigger so well from I don't know how many "shots" with the ELMS (Expert Laser Marksan System) that the gun feels like part of me now.

If you happen upon one, they're long out of production, in good shape, it might be worth a look.

Glock 17L for the win.

Looks to me like you're short on wheel guns.

I’ve been chasing a S&W Model 38 longer than I can recall.

Whenever I run out interests in firearms, I turn to parts kits and see what I can build and customize on the cheap. It’s a fun alternative.

Probably not on your radar, and not old, or classic, but I just bought a brand new Henry Frontier Long barrel 22lr lever gun with a 24 inch octagon barrel. i didn't need it as I have plenty of 22's levers, single shots , and automatics. I normally don't buy new, but I have an interest in seeing the gun industry continue so i try to find something new to buy every so often, and I like Henry products. This rifle has not disappointed as hitting golf balls offhand is no big deal at 50 yards.

How many times can you say "I'm not buying any more guns"?

"Need" and "want" are the same thing for me. Larry

 

[ISCS Yoda]

Well, I haven't been in the market for any kind of gun lately but I'd like a new threaded barrel Beretta M21 but it's not a big thing of importance. So, need or want are kind of in balance and at a standstill, especially since my last 3 gun acquisitions were gifts!

Local shop has two older Walthers in the case, a PPKs and a PPK....both under $700

Doesn’t sound like you have any magnums so your far from done. Try some real power and get into revolvers.

 

[KSDeputy]

Need has nothing to do with it.
