I just saw the Sears commercial with Bart* Farve, trying to decide on a TV. I feel his pain (I just finished watching Field of Dreams, too.)
I'm at a crossroads, trying to decide between two pistols.
#1 - Ruger Super Single Six - blued 6 1/2 bbl with .22LR and .22Mag cylinders. Local pawn shop has one looks almost NIB for $300. By comparison, Buds has two used ones for $50 more, neither with both cylinders.
#2 - Still hunting a used XD; either the 3" 9mm or the 4" .45ACP Compact. NIB is $470 at Buds, so I figure I might get down to the $400-425 mark if/when I find it.
I have a .22 Buckmark and a CZ85 9mm and two 1911s in .45ACP, so either way I go, I'm doubling-up in a caliber. It's just a new platform.
The Ruger would be a range toy and squirrel/rabbit gun if I ever get the promised invitation. The Springer would be both range and carry.
I'm leaning toward the Ruger right now. Whatcha think? Ruger now vs. save & wait for an XD (used or new)?

*edit: I goofed & originally typed "Bart" Farve, both in the title and first sentence. I fixed the title; left the other. Duh!
