@meiikachu Whatcha got gun gal?

I mostly just have pistols. I bought a Glock 19 and just bought a Sig p365 because the 19 is a little big to carry lol. I kinda want a Tavor x95 after shooting one lol, but I personally don't need a rifle. If I was to buy another pistol it would be a compact CZ 75.

This I understand LOL.  My lady hates me, no room in the safe so guns are under the bed now. Also, buy the Tavor X95, you won't regret it. Been carry my Tavor as my Duty rifle for a while now.

I'm not too sure about that. It's a good bit of change for a pencil barrel and craptastic trigger.

Last saturday, I was at QDMA banquet meeting and i was there to unpack the stuff and we brought a full truck bed (and topper) of mostly rifles and some shotguns. The best part was that i gotta touch them all (> u >)

Again, sometimes it's about want.

I've always wanted a double barrel, and my gun store for months has had this Stoeger Coach Gun.  12 gauge, 18.5" barrel, really nice looking shotgun.  It wasn't a bad price and it was used.  I went yesterday to try and bargain with them on it (cause you can get a new one for $25 more on Bud's Gun Shop).  They sold it last week.  It had been sitting there for months and someone bought it last week.

I used to own a bunch of guns but over the last few years I've really cut down.

 

I also would rather spend money on computer parts than range ammo.

If one was going to get a Sig Sauer P-model (only interested in this specific pistol and these variations at this time) would you get:

 

P220

P226

P229

Thanks for the feedback.

You're very welcome!  

 

Although if you plan to carry it concealed it, the P229 might be a better size.

It is going to be my carry gun, I will have to get to my dealer and handle both to verify how each would work in that capacity.

I have an M11-a1 which is essentially a P229 underneath and I absolutely love it. That being said, even being a version with no rail and some contoured edges, it is still tough to carry.It's relatively comfy in a dual clip hybrid IWB holster, or a slimline OWB scabbard, but either way you need a bulky jacket or something to throw over it.

 

If you want a p-series gun that you are gonna carry regularly I'd try and find a P225 or P239.

My carry situation is unique. I am a very large individual and I am in a wheelchair. I am planning to carry SOB sitting in the chair so size of the pistol doesn't matter very much.  I have a line on a P229 police trade in for $500 USD shipped that I am seriously considering.

Ahhhhhh fair enough, that does change things. If you go with an LEO trade-in like that just keep in mind that many of them have been converted to DAO. Still a good gun in that state but not nearly as versatile.

I don't know how to tell you this...actually I do.

 

5.7x28 is far from a rifle cartrige.

[Boarder]

I'm a licensed carry and I carry my Beretta PX4 9mm. Beautiful pistol. I ordered a Heritage 22/22mag revolver a few days ago. Been decades since I had a 22.

 

I'll post pics when I get it. Here's my Beretta:

On that topic, some day I would really love to buy a Five-Seven.  Unfortunately, can't justify it at the moment.

Meh, that's alot of dough for a glorified .22WMR.

Currently my favorite boom stick is the PS90.  Light, nimble, uses rifle cartridges in a small form factor, magazine capacity of 50 rounds, and its always a head turner at the range.

PS90s are neat, for sure. 

 

Have you SBRd it yet? Cuz you're going to need to SBR that.

It may not be much bigger than a .22, but it has a lot more speed and the tip makes for better penetration.  As for cost, while it's a bit more than I'm willing to spend at this time, I found one from Cabela's for $1,399.  Gunwatcher.com (a site I found when searching DDG for Five-Seven deals) lists it from $1,149 on up.  I bet I could probably find a used one for around $1k or possibly less.

 

Considering I've seen a number of semi-automatic .22 pistols for $600-700 - if not more - that's not really much higher.

Not civi rounds compared to 22WMR.
