If you where in my shoes!

Yesterday was my birthday, and yes turning 40 gets better year after year.My wife and children presented me with $1200. So i am now looking for a new addition to my collection. I'm a big Springfield fan so i already have the XDs and XD in .40 and .45, so i'm looking for something a little diffrent. Want to keep it around $1200 but no more then $1500. So if you were in my shoes, what would you buy?

Try out a sig or kimber 1911? HK USP 45? Those would be my votes.

CONGRADS to you go get your self a HK USP 45 ! nice and smooth squeeze the trigger don't pull it.

Another fine option along that line of thinking is the HK P30 in .40 S&W. I made the mistake of handling one the week after Christmas. It fit like it was custom molded for my hand. I just couldn't bring myself to leave the store without it.

The better news is that it fires even better than it feels!

ME, S&W !!!!!

If it were my scratch, I'd buy silver

I would find a new Smith & Wesson 686 or 627 .

I would be be checking out a springfield 1911 operator MC. They look really nice, but i haven't been able to handle one yet. Saw one in a shop 1 time, they caught my interest a week later, and it was gone by the time i went back to check it out...

I would save a little more for a Springfield M1A

Sig Sauer 1911 or 220 custom shop. Other thoughts would be the Kimber of course. Something with a little class.

 

[Bigtanker]

I like the M1A idea, or maybe an AR?

 

[churchmouse]

Springer Trophy Match or a TRP tactical.
S&W 1911PD
All 3 are as good as it gets mid-Range 1911

I turned 50 last summer and celebrated it by buying a AR50 50cal. Sounded logical to be. what the heck, go for a 40 and get a 50 on the 50th :-) The 60th is going to be an issue.

Yeah, I turn 63 on Saturday......I am so sad. I have ran out of calibers.................

 

[No2rdame]

Hmm, my suggestion would be hookers and booze, but not sure what your wife might think of that.

 

[sliptap]

Happy birthday friend! Shouldn't you be looking for something in a .40...? ...you know, because your old?

Juuuustt messing with you.

If I had that, I'd be buying a Sig P938 with night sights. I am, however, a sucker for subcompacts.

+1

 

[roadrunner681]

different eh? maybe a 44 desert eagle?

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I'd buy a suppressor + tax stamp + threaded barrels!!!

 

[Frosty]

I really like the sig p226, I just can't afford one... I might like something better if I had cash in my hand.
