I have a cheapo Remington .22 rifle. It goes bang, does not jam, feeds fine. I have an AR, never been shot. I have a Hipoint 9mm carbine never been shot.

Nobody "needs" to spend a lot on a gun. There is a difference between "needed" to spend a certain amount and spending a certain amount because its a "luxury."

Let me check again..........Yup. No war outside. No zombies that I can see. Justin Bieber doesnt walk by and no drive-bys.


Ya'll do not understand. I am not a gun enthusiast. I don't shoot a gun and think of every single little problem. I make my self adjust to the weapon. If I don't like it then I'll see if modifying is worth the cost or I'll sell it off. Simple as that.
nice, a diatribe on price after talking about a 1911

I own them, but ever since I moved I dont really have a place to go shooting. Shooting at in indoor range gets boring. I haven't shot my sks in probably 5 years. Maybe even more.

You dont have to spend a lot on a 1911 that is good. That's been proven over and over. You spend your $1000 on a 1911 and I'll spend under $500 and we can both be happy. Why are you so high strung on me spending more than I want to? I like how you didnt give Corey any shit for buying a "cheap" gun.

the only 1911 S&W I found here was 850, for that money I started looking at Colt and Kimber.

ATI 1911. $450 OTD. Build quality on it is quite nice, but haven't shot it yet. Could be a deal. Could be a $450 paperweight.
