You have 500 dollars. What sidearm will you buy?

March 17, 2023 13:22

Let's say you have $500 dollars to spend on a new sidearm. What's it gonna be and why?

I don't have a stubby revolver yet so I'm going with the Smith & Wesson 642 Airweight with the 2" barrel.

My friends all call me a "One Hit Wonder". Never did know why?? Never did have much of an ear for music!

I could just about buy all the parts to build one of these with 500 dollars. Maybe not!

I thought the answer to the question "How many guns do you need?" was always "Just a few more." 🤠

I've already gone through that stage many years ago. 😊

I have one. It's amazing. Gave it a Langdon Tactical trigger upgrade and it's a special shooter, for sure. Can't go wrong with the 92FS.

I was looking at the Beretta M9 22 as a plinker because they have been around for so long, and their FS model is tried and true quality, figured it would be a great gun to last my lifetime.
Did some research on the M9 model, and everything I found raised a red flag, plastic parts that fall off and Beretta no longer sells a replacement. Wow.
So I bought a Walther P22 instead. Kinda disappointed about the Beretta.

It would go towards my bucket list firearms . Either a 44 mag blackhawk or remington xp 100 or a lone eagle. Seriously would buy a henry lever action 22.

I do like the Henry lever actions. I have one in 357 and it's fantastic.

I headed to a gun show this weekend.... I was unable to complete the assignment. Nothing in the 500.00 range enticed me into buying.. 🙄

Actually, the answer is "I need one of each"🙃

Actually, I think the best answer is, "How many are there?"

EAA clone of the Browning Hi Power in FDE but I'd have to add another $25.
