    My next purchase shall be...

    I'm thinking Remington 870 shotgun, .357 magnum (s&w), a pocket gun (ruger or beretta nano, glock 42).

    I'm leaning towards the shotgun as I already have two semi-auto handguns and a marlin .22 rifle. The only reason I'm not too keen on the shotgun is that most ranges in my area allow shotguns, but you must buy their pricey shells.

    Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

    Wheel or shotgun? The age old question. I'd choose a wheel gun!

          +1 for a VP9

          I would go for a wheel gun!

            Or something like this. .357 and pocket carry. Could kill 2 birds with one stone!

              SSE a new handgun every month until the end of the year.

              Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

                      How about an M&P semi auto. They are very reliable. I think we can all agree on that.

                        Shotgun + AR lower.

                        Not sure about 870 prices, but you can get a Mossberg 500 combo with two barrels and a lower for around $400 +DROS + tax.

                          Why are you always trying to get underneath my skin? I'm asking a simple question and your talking trash, not cool.

                          Getting back to the program : That LC9 looks pretty amazing. I already have a 9mm, I'd like to broaden my horizons if you will. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of S&W, the shield looks something in my price range.

                              Although I'm a shotgun fan, you cannot go wrong with a .357 magnum. It is versatile; shoots .38 spl., .38+P and .357 magnums. It comes in 6,7 or 8 shot capacity levels, many barrels sizes, finishes and some models have a pic rail attached.

                              Haters can chime in but a .357 revolver will serve as a hunting, plinking, SD and HD weapon more easily than many semi-autos.

                              And, if you reload you're not picking cases up off of the ground. Yep, that matters to us old folk!

                              Finally, don't discount the Rugers (GP100 and SP101) as their quality, fit and finish rival that of S&W for less money.
