Guns You Plan To Buy
 

Well, I am planning guns I want in the future. Some will come quicker than others.

Marlin 336: An excellent hunting rifle. I love my friend's marlin. Want one myself.

Savae 10 FCP-K: I like savage rifles. This is a nice tactical rifle. Id add a good scope (maybe a burris fullfield tactical) for a made-in-america package. Its accurate and would have very low recoil. .308, of course.

Franchi or Beretta O/U shotguns:

Eventually I want a good O/U, and these two brands impress me. Tried an older Franci and Newer Beretta 686.

1911: Thinking I may get a custom build by Fusion. They are made by former Dan Wesson Folks, and Wesson Impresses me. Fusion offers all the custom features at less $ than WIlson/brown. Everyone I know with a fusion loves theres. .45 acp., of course.

Walther P99:

Havent shot it but held one, and it fits like a glove. One in 9mm would be good for the range since 9mm is generally cheaper. Have shot a p22, pleasant little 22.

Smith and Wesson 627 PC 5"

8 rounds of .357 in moon clips seems quite impressive. '


Ruger SP-101: Small, easy to CC or as a BUG

Savage MK2 BV (bull barrel 22) for range time, .22lr is cheap to shoot and this model is .5moa or better.

Ruger Redhawk or Smith 629:

Well, the raw power is awesome.

Benelli Supernova Pump Tactcial:

Need a good HD shotgun, the 870 i have is more a beater range gun.

Ruger SR-556: This looks like a solid step up in the AR department

CMP Garand: LOve em. Nuff Said

As many milsurps as i can find

You? And yes, these are palns to buy, not just wants.

Just something I want to say first, I have a serious distrust for O/U shotguns. My first and only accidental discharge was with a 410 O/U which fired when I shut the barrels, and I fired a 12 Gauge O/U which double kicked me (fired both barrels at ONCE).

Future buy plans:

* The Bushmaster XM15 M4A3 rifle I was talking about.

* A good quality Single Action Army replica, maybe a Cimmaron. Now they sell the one with Clint Eastwood's "Man with no name" silver snake grips, so I might look for that eventually in an Artillery model.

* A Beretta 92FS. Steel frame, night sights. None of those aluminum framed guns I keep running into.

* A Glock 17 3rd Generation. My dad's selling the 1st Gen olympic style Glock 17 (which I don't really like even though it is rare) and I figured a newer 3rd Gen would do well.

* A Glock 19. All the Concealed Carry guys I see use those and I liked the one I shot. A 2nd gen model would do me well.

* A Colt 1851 Navy replica revolver. I've always liked the balance and feel of this old percussion revolver. It is lighter and more manueverable than the Colt 1860 Army.

* A SIG-Sauer P226. I like this gun, but I want a newer model. I like STEEL frames. Aluminum cracks. Ask the guys who had gotten some serious injuries testing Beretta 92SBs for the military.

* A Smith & Wesson Model 66. A nice looking wheel gun, and I like stainless steel better than S&W's older bluing, which rusts if you breath on it wrong.

*Smith & Wesson Model 64. Also a nice looking gun, it looked good in The Dark Knight.

* A good quality M1 Carbine. I've always liked these guns but the one I own is a grade A POS ("piece of shit" to those who don't know what that means....) and everyone I have to test for the shop is crappy because why would it need to be in the gunshop unless something was wrong with it?

* An M1A1 Thompson. I don't care what it takes, I want one of these with the original length barrel. None of those ugly 16" barrel models which bring shame to the gun. Maybe if I'm rich when I'm older (yeah right) I'll get a class three and buy one.

I could go on forever so I'll stop here...

The O/U would be trap only. Mostly single shots and only shooting doubles occaisonally. Probably the only safe queen ill ever own. Everything else will be shot. A lot. I never understood people who never shoot their guns.

Kind of hard to get a CCW permit in NY.

I doubt GM will live in that commie state his whole life.

Yeah, I live in Maryland right now.
We have a 20 round magazine limit, we also can only buy pistols that are on some approved list, sort of like california.

I plan on moving to Texas, Montana, or maybe Alaska later in my life.

Well put. I wish I lived in a state I was proud of, but this place sucks.

My state is the highest taxed in the nation, up north it seems nobody cares about road maintenance, and theres almost no deer crrently. But we are laid back about guns and there is unlimited bag on yotes.

What state is that?

Maine. Forgot to add, tons of tourists...ugh.

Something for conceal carry first, then a 1911 and an AR-15 carbine (yes, a direct impingement AR).

Well an AR-15 carbine is one my list. I've always wanted a P228. Beretta M92F.

Whats the difference between 92f and fs btw?

I want two Desert Eagles so I can go akimbo like the Matrix! :p

They never dual wielded deegs in that movie

I know, that was meant to be satirical. ;)

From Wikipedia:

How can you tell that from looking at it?

I'm not sure; I've only ever seen the 92FS with my own eyes. I can't imagine that there are many 92F pistols (as opposed to 92FS) around these days, and the DoD upgraded all of its M9s to 92FS standard many years ago.

I base it on date. If the movie is from the 80s to early-mid 90s it is probably a 92F and not a 92FS.

Well I'm a John Woo fan, so I'd love to get at least 2 M92F for the sake of it...if I had the money

Even though it is useless and you won't hit anything, dual wielding guns and firing them is a lot of fun, I've done it with .22 handguns, .38 revolvers (two M&P Model 10s) and two 1911s.

The only time I can see wielding two guns as being effective is if you were in a tight space with multiple people on each side of you. Like people such as Wild Bill Hickock, who were ambidextrous and very professional with firearms. He had a gunfight in a bar where he used his Navy Colts to gun down four men, simply aiming deliberately and shooting. Of course reloading would be a bitch so bring holsters so you can focus on one at a time. Or buy those wicked awesome magazine loading things from Tomb Raider that allow for one handed reloads.

Police trade-in 92Fs are really cheap if you want to buy one.

On the other hand, the 92F is kind of an aging design nowadays. All-metal handguns without Picatinny rails just aren't in style anymore. Which is too bad, because I liked them way better than all the crappy polymer-framed pistols with multi-colored frames that dominate the handgun market today.

Personally, I miss the days when the 92F was the coolest, sexiest handgun in existence. :(

I never understood what made the beretta so special.....it seems fairly generic to me.

I dunno if it's special, but it's a very good design. The fact that it passed the Army's XM9 trials is certainly quite important, since many of the other "Wonder Nines" of the day didn't. The open-top slide was already proven on Beretta's older pistols - the 92 series were just the first high-capacity versions.

The only thing I've never liked about the 92 series is that they're a little too big.

Forgot to add.....Smith & Wesson 617 6" for target shooting/plinking. These are real accurate and well made. Will keep costs down with the rimfire ammo. Not to mention that there not as picky as semis as to what they want to eat.

I'm going to try and find a Browning BDM when I turn 21.
I hear it has some kind of Revolver style double action.

Id suggest against DA autos, the SIG DAK is smooth but long, i much prefer the ability to fire in SA. And the Beretta and SIG passed, just the p228 doesn't see as much use. I much prefer 1911s though, but not the old colts, the tolerances on those were too loose and they didnt shoot very accurately. A newer gun with just the right fit would be nice.

The Browning BDM has a revolver double action system which means if you just keep on pulling the trigger it will be like DAO but if you pull down the hammer that shot will be single action.

Do you mean the P226? The P228 wasn't in the XM9 trials (didn't exist back then).

I prefer SIGs over Berettas myself, but I do think that at the time of the XM9 trials, the 92F was actually the better choice. The P226 had issues of its own (breaking trigger bar springs, bending barrels, etc.), many of which weren't worked out until about the early-90s. Whereas the 92 series had been in existence for longer and was a more developed design by the mid-80s.

Well, I live in Oregon, so the only thing stopping me will be my crippling lack of income once I graduate from the black hole that is college.

Cash flow permitting, I've always wanted a Colt Commander, not sure why exactly.
Other nice stuff to have would be O/U shotguns(which I love for some irrational reason, just so sleek looking), and maybe a Browning BDA 380.
Because of the low cash flow, I'd like to grab myself a Taurus for CCW when I can, and ultimately would like a Kahr or Kel Tec for CCW.

Well I had better yank those 1st Generation presentation Colt SAAs out of the safe and start blasting away! ;) Oh, those UNFIRED Martini Henry Short lever rifles, pshaw! LOL. I'll dump 500 rounds through that gun, same with the original presentation 1866 with 100% original finish! ;) , never mind that unfired vintage firearms are worth so much more than fired or 'well used' guns. Or that unfired Pre-WW2 Commercial Colt M1911A1. ;)

;)

I was thinking of people with newer guns they dont fire, the vintage stuff I understand. A custom 1911 that never gets to play, or a Lever gun that never hunts and just gets oiled....

Yeah, I agree K8970.
There are display pieces, and then there are guns.
;)

I like the sound of this 1866. :D

What about firing the SAA's with, I dunno. Custom overpressure rounds?
Nothing potentially harmful about that.

If I were to buy an old revolver, I'd get a schofield. I just love the look of that gun

Buy a NEW model of the Schofield. The older versions were sold in only .45 Schofield which was their main downfall during the time (since pretty much no other gun used the Schofield rounds) and they make newer models in more common rounds like .38 special and .45 long colt. Some of the other Smith & Wesson tip up guns were sold in rounds like .44-40, which was a popular round of the time so that would seem like a better option. Like the New Model Frontier. Since most rifles of the time used .44-40, it was conveniant to have a .44-40 pistol to use the same rounds.
