Need help on decision

[Syke001]

Hi every one I'm thinking of getting some thing new but can't make a choice between a citadel 1911 .45 or a dpms oracle 5.56, Any thought?

[davidb]

how about the citadel AND a stripped lower? that way you got the 1911 and can build an ar better than a dpms whenever you have the $ and time

davidb has got a good answer

[redcliff]

Depends upon what you already own also

My thought? If you want useful suggestions give a lot more info on your situation.

If money is not an issue I say purchase both firearms.

[JoefromPA]

That's a hard one to give advice on. Do you want a pistol or a rifle?

My last decision was a 20" AR or bolt rifle for varmints. Next is .44 or .454 revolver. Those are easier to compare.

@Redcliff I own m&p and moss 500.
@davidb is building an ar easy or does it require a bunch of special tools

Get the rifle to complete your 3-gun.

Yep, the logical rounding out of the collection is a rifle.

Would a a2 style sight and rear handle sight be good or a red dot

Personally I would never buy an AR without a carry handle and front sight assembly. But I'm biased because of my military time. I had M68 (red dot) and Eotech holographic sights during my time as well as an ACOG when I got my stripes, neither system was difficult to use with the carry handle stowed away in my assault pack and the front sight assembly still on the rifle.

you can buy a complete assembled upper from a lot of companies, the lower is easy to assemble the only tools i use are a brass faced hammer and a punch set...a castle nut wrench would be good to have for tightening the buffer tube down
