The idea behind a 10mm 1911 is to scratch two itches with one gun, I want a 10mm gun and a 1911. But I don't necessarily have room in my collection for two guns that satisfy these needs separately. In particular I really have little interest in the .45ACP cartridge. And .38 super, while a spiffy round IMO, is too niche to find much of these days.

Little interest in .45acp?! Are you some damn commie?

Of those two I'd pick North Carolina. Not much going on in PA. I occasionaly consider moving on myself. Its only mere laziness that keeps me in PA now.
That said relocate based of the best job opportunities.

You should move to Alaska. Live in the middle of nowhere. Do some Ice Road Trucking and buy guns with the 2000 dollar stipend Alaska will give you every year just for living there.

Frankly me too, thats why I didn't mention it. FWY they run from around $1500 for a beat one that saw heavy use with French special forces (The GIGN made use of them)

To over $5,000 for a minty sporting version.
The 686 is still a fine gun and more than a serviceable choice as a range tool.

It is possible to import the 5-1/4 one, You would be looking at $1200 its just a crap ton of paperwork. But for the cost you can get a quality American revolver that has the same fit and finish it just wont have been built to handle half a million rounds of full house .357 before you need to replace parts.

Plus one on night vision. You already have guns. Not only would night vision come in handy for defense, you could also use it driving your truck if you ever need it for clandestine missions during a full on riot.

Real good nite vision piece and any money left over, Ruger 9mm carbine.
If you can't by from Springfield, you shouldn't buy from DD! Besides I thought Springfield atoned themselves.

As misinformed as Marty is there, what Sprinflgfield Armory did was worse. And the closest SA did to "making amends" was to claim they were unaware of the contents of the legislation they were funding and that the relevant lobbying agency was only indirectly affiliated with them. All of which is bullshit.
Its a shame too as otherwise the SA TRP Operator in 10mm would be the 1911 I'd get.

And yeah, the Galil is a seriously sexy peice of kit.

Ruger PCC is cheap enough that I'll be getting one no matter what I choose to do here. The original plan was to get the AR scoped then get the PCC. I have been delaying the AR scope for some time now. Since I have the NYGF AR as my red dot gun now I really need to get some glass on the DD. Then I'd do a series of ammo comparisons. I think that would be fun.

But that Galil. And the Benelli........so sexy!!!
Just imagine a pic post of the two of them together!
