what to buy?

gjshaw
I've got $250.00.

I am thinking of the following:

1. a Nagant revolver (I don't have one)
2. Romanian Tokarev (I don't have one)
3. Beretta 951 (refinished) (I don't have one)
4. CZ 82 (I already have one, can't hurt to have another).

So, what should I get?

    Sold another old toy for $375.00. Looking for either a .380 or 9mm that is a "pocket pistol". I've narrowed it down to the following:

    1. Bersa .380 (and have money left over for other stuff)
    2. CZ Rami (I'd have to add some $, but I love my CZ 75, but this is also a little on the big side)
    3. Kel Tec P3AT (Super small, but I have reservations)
    4. Sig 232 (I found one used for $395, in box minimal wear, clearly carried more than shot, but aftermarket grips; I assume I could get it for $375 or less).

    I welcome your comments!

    I need to buy a 22 to have on hand when the neighbor kids want to go shooting as I don't have a pistol in that cal. I have rifles in 22 but not a pistol. I would like to know which 22 revolver and or semi. would be the best and safest to get for kids learning to shoot pistols. Any ideas would be welcome.

    Ruger Single Six or Mark III

    Browning Buckmark


    Of those three, I'll take a Single Six or Buckmark.

    Cubs, the kids hands are not as big as ours, so not having ever shot the ones you listed, are the grips big or not?

    It depends on the model. Standard Mark III's and Buckmarks are pretty thin. If they are pretty small children, I'd go with a Single Six or a Ruger Bearcat.

    The sweet thing about the Single six is your ability to change from a 22lr to 22mag and back. They will typically come with both cylinders.

    The Bearcat is considerably smaller, but still a single action revolver that is a ton of fun. It'd be the best choice for little ones.

    S&W model 63. Small frame 6 shot revolver. If you want a larger frame go with the 617. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=84622724

    The bearcat looks perfect for what I want, now all I need to find is a good semi. to go with it.

    Is the S&W 63 a single or double action?

    I am getting 2 of these for my kids. They come with both .22lr and .22mag cylinders and they have a good safety on them too.

    I have actually shot one of them and they are a decent little low cost gun.

    The price shown on that auction is not too bad as dealer cost on those is about $160

    I have been on the auction side and have been looking at the buckmark. I like the looks of the camper specials in stainless. I am putting in a bid on one and I hope to get it. IF I find a good deal on a bearcat then I will bid on one of those also, but the wife wants me to get the S&w 63.

    I would buy a Single Six. My daughter could manage my neighbor's Single Six when she was 10 years old.
