i got some money set aside (almost $1500) and i am thinking about my next purchase. i have a hard time deciding and thought i'd get some input from you guys.
what i currently have:
glock 35 (fullsize in .40)
hk usp (fullsize in .40)
springfield 1911 .45
ruger mark iii .22
ruger sp101 .357
winchester 1300 defender 12 ga.
the four options i am considering:
a) i purchased an off-list AR lower recently (i'm in california) in the hopes the DOJ will put it on the list, let me register it, so I can then build it up to a full M4gery and use it for 3-gun competition and target practice.
this option is somewhat speculative, depends on how things develop legally, and could take months or maybe never happen at all.
if it did happen, i would buy a nice AR rifle kit from del-ton with the money.
b) i could purchase a kel-tec su16 and use it for 3-gun competition for now. since they are cheap, i am also considering buying a walther g22 rifle for plain fun and plinking since i do not have a .22 rifle yet, which of course is a staple in any collection.
c) i could purchase another handgun. i have my eye on a sig but have a hard time deciding between the fullsize 226 and the more compact 229, as well as whether to get one in 9mm or in .40.
both feel very comfortable in my hand. on one hand i am considering the 226 in .40 to stay with the theme of what i got, on the other hand i am thinking about getting the 229 in 9mm instead because i don't have a 9mm yet, neither do i have a compact semiauto, and it is cheaper to shoot.
i am not really interested in another polymer gun such as the p99 or xd-40 since i already got the usp and glock. i hear nothing but good things about the sigs and would really like to add one to my collection.
d) not buy anything and keep my money for now
the main use for any of these guns would be fun/plinking, target practice, and/or competition shooting. ccw is not a factor right now since i'm in metropolitan CA.
so, given these parameters, what are your thoughts?
