And your next gun will be... ?

[Blacky]

As I was drifting off to sleep last night I started to wonder what I might find at the next gun show, a new AR or maybe an AK. Ive been wanting a 1911 forever but I really like the Springfield XD, Ive already got 2 9mm so do I get a .40 or 45 but then I also want a revolver, maybe a S&W Airweight 442 but I don't really like the internal lock thing so maybe Ill get a Ruger Blackhawck 44 mag. but do I get stainless? I really like the 7 1/2" barrel... I wonder if my local gun stores have any in stock. Ive got enough shotguns, or do I? What about ammo, do I have enough, is it possible to have enough. I definitely need another thousand rounds of 5.56 and 9mm and 44 mag and 45 and... then I take an Ambien and go to sleep and dream that I own the biggest gun shop in North America.

Its the same thing every night... have I turned into a gun crazy... well duh... and who is the crazy anyway... the ones with or the ones without? (rhetorical)

How do you decide which gun you buy next, do you have a 'to do' list? Do you look for deals, promo's, rebates? Do you look for deals on used guns? Are you an impulse buyer? Do you flip a coin? Do you have a specific budget? Is it a decision based on the current political climate? Do you buy according to model number (set collector). All of the above - none of the above? How do you weigh it all out

Here's my standard gun buying plan:

#1. What do I need for defense?
#2. What does my family need for defense?
#3. What are they going to ban next that I may want?
#4. Fantastic $$$ deal trumps #1-3
#5. What do I add to my collection that I've wanted and may be hard to get in the future? (see #3)
#6. If I win the lotto, I'll buy ______ because I'll already have everything else that falls in betwee #1-#5.

F.A.S. Out

[Air]

Next gun will be a Ruger 22/45, to replace the MkII I parted ways with a long time ago. After that, a 1911, because I want one.

[BTF/PTM]

Smith & Wesson 4" 686 with Hogue grip.

[CHS]

I have a running list in my head of what I want. Most of those guns are kinda pricey. If I see a good deal on a gun that I want, I just buy that out of order.

- Took home a Ruger 77/44 .44mag bolt-action carbine last week
- Took home another 870 last night.
- Have a ruger GP-100 (6", .357) on layaway at the moment
- Awaiting delivery of a 1919a4, so I can start DROS

After that, more AR stuff. Possibly an AK, since I've always kinda wanted one and have a case of 7.62x39 just sitting around.

[Angie]

I have a GP 100 on layaway and am also waiting for my 1919.
Can't say what I want next, because the BF will then run out and buy the exact same gun, before me. (Copycat!)
I have some catching up to do and he won't even let me!

[dreyna14]

GSG-5 if Fort courage ever gets mine in!!

[JeffM]

I need a fighting handgun.

Likely a Glock 23 or a 4" 357 revolver if I find a good deal.

Next would probably be something that can reach out and touch someone. Probably a Savage in .308

Being broke kinda sucks, but I don't let it stop me

[JOEKILLA]

SOCOM 16, as soon as I get some funds going I'd hate to put it on CC.

[Sutcliffe]

probably another OLL

Still haven't done anything with my first one. Saving up for a rainy day on it.

[csk]

Since I just started reloading 44mag (for my Ruger Super Blackhawk) - my next gun will be a Henry Big Boy in the same caliber.

[Darklyte27]

Stag 6L is on the way.

Priority list
1. M1A STD Loaded Synthetic stock, SS barrel.
2. possibly M16-A2 since thats what was the std issue when I was in the Marines
3. 1911 probably a Kimber
4. AK? i duno..
thats as far as I can think of now.

[sammy]

I have a Les Baer Permire II I have been waiting on for 4 months now. Should be here any day now so that is going to leave my wallet $1500.00 lighter, but I have a longing for a 450 bushmaster featurless AR after shooting Slash2's. That is simply the most awesome thing I have held since getting my Grandfathers rifle he picked up in Switzerland, 1945.

[deleted by PC police]

I'm looking at some sort of Semi Auto .308. A G3, Fal, AR10 or M1A. I'm leaning towards the Fal or AR10 right now. Smith and Edwards north of Ogden has a Century Arms Fal for $799 and a DPMS AR10 with a big ol bull barrell and floating forearm for like $1100. After that if the next civil war has not started I will get an ak and couple of sks's.

[IllTemperedCur]

Either CZ P01 or RIA Tactical 1911. Leaning towards the P01 simply because I'm already set up for 9mm reloading with lots of components on hand.

I have an irrational fetish for Enfield sporters. Knew a guy that had a sporterized No. 4, always liked that rifle. That would be my only non-planned purchase, if I ran into a nice piece.

Another AR lower, just because.

AK kit & flats for the little paranoid voice in my head. Yes, I know I missed the boat on the sub-$100 kits.
