If you had a budget of $2K cash.......

[1Patriot]

which concealed weapons would you buy?

I am going in a shopping spree this week-end.....

 

[Jose]

An M&P9, 3000 rounds of ammunition, and spend the balance on training.

 

[JackDaniels]

Buy a Colt SAA and open carry like a real man would.

 

[Another_David]

Sig 229 and then spend the balance on classes at Sig

[Zappa]

That depends on where you live?
In Mass, your choices for handguns are far more limited than in other states.

 

[1Patriot]

Yes, in MA I am limited, but I am looking at the Sig 229 and Walther PPS.....
I have taken a couple of classes at the Sig Academy and going back for their
2day Concealed Carry class......

Thanks for you inputs.......

I carry a Sig 229. I looked at the PPS, but I didn't like the way it fit in my hand and I didn't like the magazine release. My vote would go to the 229, but the gun itself will be less than half of your budget. I would also add a S&W 642. I find the 229 to be rather concealable, but there are times when pocket carry would be a very nice option. And that should leave you just enough money to get a holster and a case of ammo for each.

Out of the two, the 229 hands down.

Are you going to spend the leftover $100 on ammo or strippers?

 

[vellnueve]

An M&P40, 2000 rounds of ammunition, and spend the balance on training.

Fixed.

 

[CRSIII]

Fixed.

Now you know what Jim would say.

some booze, take out and an SD card for my camera

 

[ryan81986]

I'd buy an AR. I have a big Irish mafia coat I could conceal it in if I wanted to.

Yep, no sense having a $2000 gun if you are a $10 shooter. Training is always the best money spent

Since you're in Ma., this.

Plenty left over for training and a quality holster.

Then again, I like 1911's.

 

[MassMark]

Heckler and Koch USP 9c or USP 45c and a nice AR-15...

Dennis, is this on ''the list''?
If it is....

 

[Twigg]

If it isn't, it will be soon. S&W's pretty good about getting their stuff through the hoops for you folks.

I also like 1911's. But, I would go for this model.

 

[Kalahari]

Heckler and Koch USP 9c or USP 45c

Is it just me, or is the USP line fairly uncommon in MA? I see many more of them down here.

Excellent choice ! As an added benefit Unlike their M&P's no trigger job is required.

 

[stoneypete]

Sales tax.

My buddy has a Shilo Sharps that's quite possibly looking for a new home. Devorce is getting expensive and he already offered me first refusal. Another option for me would be getting set up to reload .38, .223 and .30 carbine.

 

[MassMark]

Yeah, they're on the "Boo-Hoo List", but they are around...

 

[Big_Red]

Sadly it is not. However, one could argue that it should be available because it is a Pro Series 1911 and Pro Series is on "the list".

Anyway, I've had my eye on this one ever since it was announced but since I didn't want to wait forever I went with a custom built 1911 from Remsport. Still, I am going to pick this one up once it becomes available.

To the OP, if this is your first gun then I would probably go with something other than a 1911. If it is not, then I would definitely suggest getting one.

 

[TheIglu]

P232. Just feels oh-so-nice in the hand.

 

[Chris]

Two bags of pre-'65 coins. (^_^)

A Glock 26 and a nice holster.
Save the rest of the money. Just because you have it doesn't mean you need to spend it.

Start attending IDPA to learn how to shoot.
