Personally, I would get the M&P 15.

It has to be "extra" before you're allowed to spend it? Durn, why didn't someone tell me that before. I never seem to have "extra", but still manage to get some fun stuff.

@ $1500 you could probably get an M&P 15 sport AND a suppressor.

Thacheese I like the way you think.

I have an AAC Element can for .22 rim fire. The fun wore of kind of quick.
I have several AR's and consider them essential.
I'm a Noveske fan boy. However they are close by to me and I got to know John Noveske and his rifles through the Sheriff's office I worked for.
I always think quality over quantity.
CMP Garand?
Boxed K22?
You need more money but I love my Wilson Combat 1911's I bought in 1996. Shot a lot of different action pistol games with them and would qualify one as an off duty. Every man at some point needs a good dog and a good 1911.

I would probably purchase the 15-22 rather than the M&P 15, and a 4" model 617. Although I have been thinking about a 4" 625 for IDPA. I'm a competition junkie, Steel, ICORE, IDPA and USPSA, so my guns need to be something I can use for competition. I already have a Les Baer 1911, supressors aren't my thing, and would prefer the 15-22 over an AR in 5.56.

Wow, to answer that, I need to kinda know how you plan on shooting the M&P 15/22 (again it's just a 22LR). But I may be able to help you in the right direction see below on the kind of setups you may want to do, and both won't hit your $1200 to $1500 budget range to boot:
1.) Tactical : Leave stock trigger, add Red Dot, front vertical grip or angle grip (Magpul), Magpul BUIS folding Iron sights, purchase CCI Tactical 22lr ammo, Compensator to aid in recoil.
2.) Hunting : Upgrade trigger to 3 lbs., 1X-4X or 3X-9X scope, CCI Tactical 22lr ammo, Jerry Miculek compensator adds weight and helps a little on recoil (also looks cool).
Have fun tricking out the M&P, it was the highlite of my fun for sure.

For that cash you can get some top tier firearms. Nothing on that list is an investment per say. Unless there is another AWB threat in which case a couple of M&P.15 Sports would return more money. You'll probably lose money on the rest of your list.

Well, since you mentioned investment, I'll go along those lines @ 1500..
New: 3 NOS CZ 452's
Used: 3 clean, low mileage, prelock S&W K or L frames

This has been discussed before, but...
While the M&P 15 is not a bad AR-15, you specifically asked about an investment, which means resale value and broad market recognition.
Here ya go.
You can get one well within your budget.

Purchase either a SOCOM or Scout - Squad M1a rifle...without question...
I'll probably never use it for its intended purpose, but the kids or grandkids might...November will very likely tell the tale.

Most likely a good AR-15 of acceptable brand name and reliability. Anything left over would probably be used for optics, accessories, etc.

My 15-22 is cheap enough to run as is. Don't need another rifle. So a suppressor for my FNP45 Tactical would by my purchase. Anything left over would go for ammo.

Everyone, thanks for your input. I was only thinking that maybe its time for a new addition to my toy box. My 15-22 is already tricked out the way I want it to be right now. My G17 has been worked on and is sweet to shoot. My CC wepon works well and is accurate enough to hit a dime at 25'. So I am thinking, what's next. I do not own nor have I ever shot a 1911. I am not a huge fan of a heavy hand gun but am willing to try and it is a legend so I could be wrong. A M&P 15 would complement his little brother and could share accessories. The suppressor would be cool but not sure if I would use it enough to be worth while. One thing is for certain, I will be getting allot of ammo because my 15-22 is thirsty. Any other suggestions?

I was looking for a .22 handgun and happened on a Sig Sauer 1911 .22 and loved the way it felt in my hand. Needless to say I felt in love with it and had to get a big brother .45 and fell in love with that one also. The 1911s seem to really fit me and I love the way they shoot.
