How to spend $1000?

[kAnJii]

I want to get a gun. Either a 1911 or an AR. I have a BHP 9mm, but it would be great to own either 1911 or AR. What would you purchase? It would be great to get a complete AR, but it may be a bit over $1000.

Since you have a handgun already - Go for the AR - I've seen some nice complete rifle for sale here for way under 1k -

Definitely get the AR. You can get a complete AR for under 1k easy.

Build your own AR

Would love to learn some day but I am not a hands on kinda guy. I rather have an AR from a good company with a warranty. Looking at maybe a Stag??? What do you all think?

Go with a BCM AR. Top notch quality, excellent pricing and outstanding customer service.

You'd be surprised how easy it actually is as long as you have the tools required. Start by purchasing a complete upper and building your own lower. Then once you're more comfortable, work on building an upper from scratch. Check out this video series.

Personally I would go with the 1911. AR15's turn into should fired money pits.

I prefer to shoot handguns so my vote is for a 1911.

I vote build or buy a AR.If i had 1000 dollars i'd get one for sure but I don't think i'll see that day any time soon lol.

I would buy a Benelli M1 Super 90, the AR you can buy later and spread the cost through a period of time if you buy the pieces and put it together.

get the AR

or get a Benelli M1 and an AR stripped lower.
