Gun purchases thread.

I'm assuming since you're mentioning the 19s with shipping costs that you're going to buy them online. If you get a 19, get a -4 or before. It should be about the same cost, and it will have a pinned barrel, which will give you extra cool points, which is what revolvers are all about. If you want a more functional revolver, get a 686 (early vintage, no key locks or MIM parts or all that crap) and enjoy the stainless steel finish. Additionally, the compromise between cool and function is the 66, the stainless steel version of the Model 19, but again, get an early vintage to lock in those cool points if you want them. Be sure to look for guns that have the flash chromed hammer and trigger and not the case colored ones too.

Thanks but for the most part I prefer blued firearms (the 686 and 66 were both stainless steel right?). Though that being said I did see a great looking (SS/Nickel finish aside) 686 at a Cheaper Than Dirt for $740.

I want to buy a cheap pistol caliber carbine.

Right now I am thinking from expensive down is an AR in 9mm, Beretta Cx4 Storm, or the Sub 2000.

I want the Sub 2000 that takes S&W 59 mags, so I can have me a truck gun

I was thinking of just getting the Sub2K that takes the Glock mags. Would be kinda cool if they made one that is is 10mm or .45 ACP

I'd go for that one if I didn't have 2 guns that already take 59 pattern mags. A Sub 2000 with a bunch of 33-rounders would be sweeeeeeeet

A .45 Sub 200 that takes 15-round FNX-45 mags would be really cool

I was thinking about getting a "pistol" AR in 9mm and put the SIG SB-15 on it.

Technically for the 10MM or .45ACP you could go for a Roni carbine-pistol system...though you'd have to shell out roughly $340 for the carbine part and $500-$600 for a Glock or a SIG, dunno if there are models for pistols by other companies than those two. Hi-Point makes a .45ACP complete carbine for $341 (@Buds) but i think the mags are kinda on the small side. I thought about doing the former once but backed off due to the combined price...and I'm major cheapass sometimes.

Don't you also need a tax stamp for a Roni?
