What should I get?

[Cooolone]

I would buy one today if I could find one. I’d take a .40 also. They only make them in 9mm now so those are impossible to find. Buds had them in .40 a month or so ago but they sold out before I could get one.

I know, my nephew was able to find one last year, and that was an all out effort! I absolutely love the SIG 229, the Legion just added all the work you would've done to it anyways. You can get the 9mm and just get the .357 slide/barrel kit, swap it out, no? I know in the beginning supposedly the 9mm Legion was a lighter frame and not rated for the .357 or .40 slides. Not sure if that's still true.

Anyways...

If 1911 frame is what you're looking for @Airborneguy , and it's a "special treat" ... I say fuck it! Go for the Gold!!!

The Wilson Combat's are a dream, or even an Ed Brown Custom!!! Quality of hand fit, custom configuration, any way you want it! Not commercial store bought stuff

Even a 9mm is about impossible to find. I might buy one if I saw one but I wouldn't change caliber. I don't like to mess with that stuff with guns I would carry. Even though I'm sure it's fine you never know if they use slightly different springs or other parts. I just don't like to mess with it.

Since you have all the basics covered get a more unusual less common caliber. With the current ammo situation you can at least keep stocking up.


I say .357sig or 10mm. Or something weirder like .45GAP

 

[S&W Fan]

Last hurrah.

10mm 1911 is like tip of the spear. Only unicorn above that for me is the FBI 1006 to match the 5946 that I carried for 14 years before I switched to the Glock 19.

I think that you meant the S&W 1076 FBI 10mm . They’re still out there , but getting harder and harder to find at a decent price point.

I've been thinking about a 229, but in their cherrywood / alloy finish. Looks gorgeous. I want to see if I can fire one first before I commit, so I can feel the double action on the first round to see if I hate it or not. Maybe when I'm down in Texas next time.

I have one, if you're in WNY area.

 

[Saltwater60]

So what did you get??

Make sure he gets it added to his permit before handling or firing it

Nothing yet. The jetski slowed things down on this front lol.

 

[Airborneguy]

I'm slowly settling on a .357.

Part of me wants to get a .357 SIG someday - live out my US Secret Service fantasy (though they are changing to 9mm Glocks now). I think Federal Air Marshals still use .357 also? I am not a fan of DA/SA guns though - my first pistol was a Beretta PX4 Storm and I just could not get used to that trigger, at least as a "first gun". There are some SAO guns though..

I've got this one in gun jail waiting for my amendment to clear. S&W 686 SSR.

I've always wanted a Ruger match champion.
Available in .357, or 10mm

Done and done. It's fun spending your money!

My father has one. I don’t know why but he does. I will get it when he departs the earth. I don’t know what I will do with it but I will have one.

Oh, those are nicey nice! Will be keeping an eye on those

I was thinking about getting one. I wouldn’t carry it but it’s neat to have for $200. Not every gun you buy has to be worthy of carry. It’s ok to have fun shit too.

 

[nortatoga]

If you go with a 357 you should get one of these also!



I know I will at some point!!!

 

[JohnD13]

Just for the hell of it, a Coonan Arms .357. Someday I'd like one.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Why a .357? If a revolver is what you seek, why not go big? .454 or the like.

 

[Airborneguy]

Easy to reload and can shoot tons of .38 that I have.

Might have stumbled upon a 686. Will know soon.
