My LGS just got like 10 of each Remington 600's and 660's in assorted calibers with nice wood stocks, not sure of the wood but very nice rifles with iron sights for $500. Sort of budget friendly. I'm pretty sure that's a good deal for those too... I was thinking about getting one in 6.5A budget bolt action with iron sights.
A revolver with a true 9mm sized cylinder and frame would be a nice small ccw packageA belly gun revolver that is sized to take .45acp or 9mm with moon clips or some other form of positive ejection.
Most revolver cylinders are too long to be good belly guns.
I slapped together 3 AR's and bought more ammo than any other year in 2019. I'm probably going to continue through 2020 building up an ammo store and make sure I hit all my intended marks. I hit 5k for 5.56 now I'm going to turn my focus to 5k-10k 9mm and a few thousand rounds of steel cased 5.56 for range time. I would like to build one more AR probably before things get too stupid in this political climate and then I intend to add a couple bolt guns and lever guns to my collection. I'm also in the market for a S&W air weight snub... then I'll probably be done....
I've intended to for a while now, but I know myself, I'm not good at being patient and piecing things together, I figure it will be a pretty substantial initial investment.Then you'd probably be done. Your post screams "metallic reloading next". Jus saying...

Oh, sorry, yeah I can see how what I said could be interpreted. I didnt mean no patience for reloading. Just that once I start getting into it I'm likely to spend a bundle trying to get it all set up at once instead of piecing it together a lil at a time. I could be off on that though, I'm told it doesnt really take alot to get started.... It honestly seems a lil daunting with really no first hand knowledge of reloading but you're right, THR is a great wealth of info on these subjects and I feel lucky to have the access I do.Then either dvelop patience or don't reload. Imo it's not for ADD types if you mean a total lack of patience. But it doesn't take saintly patience either if you just stick to straight wall pistol cases and target loads. As for an investment, Lee anniversary kit and work from there. The Lee book ain't bad for start either. This is the high road there is untold amount of reloading know how among the members. If you started a thread in the handloading section you'll get dog piled with good responses and suggestions for a reloading endeavor, the vast majority of which will be better than I can offer. I am quite thankful someone took the time to show me the basics and encourage me to reload and cast and glad I took the time to get it down. It's a great skill to have. Best!
