Which gun to buy?

[Rookie]

Momma has given me the green light for a new gun.

I'm trying to decide what to get. I'm thinking about getting an M&P 9mm so I can mount a trijicon rmr and make it my EDC. I've always wanted a 1911, but I keep putting it off. I don't have an AR, and it's on my list. I have an Hk USC that I would like to make into a UMP clone and SBR it.

I have plenty of handguns and shotguns. I don't have many rifles (.22 and 30-06). Please give suggestions according to my list, I'm not considering anything else at the time.

TIA

You need to have an AR-15 in your rifle collection then you have to get a 1911

I voted AR-15. Go read esrice's review of the Spike's Tactical ST-15, head to Bradis, who are now Spike's dealers, and don't look back.

Then, when you're done. Have your wife call my wife so I can do the same thing.

Ar-15 its like Barbie's for men.

I just placed an order for a Smith & Wesson M&P9 Pro Series from Bud's for $564...free shipping to your FFL. It took me a long time to finally come to that decision but it has night sites and changeable palm swell/back straps so it's basically a finished product. I'm not about to give up my Glocks but the M&P looks like it will be a great addition to the collection.

I didn't vote for an AR because they are a rifle that begs you to spend more and more money on them. I never felt like I had a 'complete' rifle since there was always one more thing to buy for it plus the price of .223 isn't going down. You can get twice as much 9mm for nearly the same price.

1911 pistols are works of art but for the price of a good one you can get an M&P Pro Series 9mm plus a couple of extra mags, holster, mag pouch and several hundred rounds of ammo and STILL have money to swing by Taco Bell for their new Pacific Shrimp Tacos!

i voted for the AR, because i really really really really really want one!!

 

[Hop]

Everyone needs at least one AR!

The poll is flawed.
I couldn't vote for 1911 AND bacon at the same time

 

[Cowboy1629]

Since I have an AR and several 1911's, I voted 1911!

 

[JohnP82]

I voted for the m&p since you said you would make it your EDC. Seems like it would get the most use. Good luck with your decision

 

[LPPOsecurity]

I voted 1911 cuz it's what you really want

 

[Gator762]

Get what you want. Have you ever thought of a VZ2008,VZ58?

 

[Rookie]

No. And I recently decided I don't want the M&P, I want a P30 instead. Can't decide if I want the P30 or the P30L. I would love to shoot the two first, but I don't know anyone that owns either.

 

[Destro]

I have to agree with some of the other posters, If you don't have an AR...get that. Colt LE6920 or Bravo Company are at the top of my list

 

[mutt]

Everyone needs at least one AR!

Or four.

 

[88GT]

Everyone needs at least one AR!

Or four.

Or more!

I voted AR. I love my 1911s, but everybody really does need an AR. Of course, now you'll have to put up a poll for which options/configs you should get.

I voted to SBR the HK. If you get an AR it will just be another rifle that won't ever be finished

Either you are spending to much on .223 or I am spending to much 9mm. A box of WWB is like $23/100 rounds of 9mm. I have been paying like $4.50/20 for steel cased .223, which is roughly the exact same price per round.

Anyways, I voted for an AR. Everyone needs an AR and AK.

 

[hotfarmboy1]

I voted AR cause of the flexibility of them and you could use another rifle. Although other than that the 1911 would be my next choice.

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

I voted AR...

It was a toss up, since I believe everyone should have a 1911 also... but you said you already have quite a few handguns and not many rifles, so... AR!

I, also, love my Spike's Tactical. You would be hard pressed finding more gun for the cost in the AR platform.
