Help me pick my next gun

[pullnshoot25]

Now, I just sold off a Makarov to fund a new bow string and fix the Single Six (lost the .22LR cylinder) so I can get back into the swing of things but this election thing is making me want to get at least one more gun. Here are the ideas that I have on the table...

-Taurus 94 4" .22LR 9 shot revolver, DA. (Trainer to the Tracker)
-Ruger Blackhawk/Super Blackhawk .44mag 4 5/8", 5.5" or 6" SS/Blue
-Ruger Blackhawk Convertible 9mm/357
-Browning HP, probably a Daley derivative (good reviews on it)
-CZ-75 9mm
-Good shotgun

It helps if you know the current collection too...

Pistols
--Makarov
--Taurus Tracker .44mag
--Ruger Single Six
--Ruger MKII

Long Guns
--Ruger 10/22
--Puma 92 .44mag
--Mossberg 640KD .22mag
--Mossberg Model 44US
--H&R Topper 18" 12ga (kinda broken at moment...)
--Mosin Nagant M44

Any ideas, fellow levergunners? What would you buy? Any other guns that aren't on the list that should be on there for consideration?

I heard the Henry big Boys are good lever actions. I want a lever gun too. I suggest you get a CZ SP-01 as your next pistol.

[Bukowski]

I have the Puma 92 in .38/.357 and couldn't be happier with it for the price.

I don't think any of the ones listed are at terrible risk of being unobtainable after the election. Even Obama says he sees a place for revolvers and "hunting" guns like bolt actions and lever guns.

If you want to get all like the rest of us stock up on ammo, semi-autos, lowers etc.....

[Greg-Dawg]

The Blackhawk .44 sounds good, but I voted boom stick!

[Rudolf the Red]

I vote HP.

Great design. Cheap ammo.

[Snapping Twig]

I don't see any S&W's, nor do I see a 1911 listed anywhere.

I'd opt for a magnum, but that's me.

Say I were to get a shotgun...

The Remington 870 offers the most versatility in terms of magazine tube length, barrel length, etc. but I can't seem to narrow down which one I want. I want to get a decent looking one that I can shoot trap/birds and knock off bad guys with (God forbid should that time come) and I want to do it without breaking the bank (aka still buy my 9mm within a reasonable amount of time )

Any particular model suggestions, etc? Magazine extension capability is crucial for dealing with trap shooting and home defense with one gun.

You can't go wrong with a mossberg 590/remington 870. I would recommend some sort of OLL rifle with a featureless build such as a saiga for election time.

This is true. Fudge.

Gosh dammit.

CZ 75 or IMI Jericho (Baby Eagle)

[Knight]

I voted for the Super Blackhawk, though it was a tough call between that and the CZ-75.

I bought a used Super Blackhawk Hunter a few months ago, and it has quickly become one of my favorite handguns to shoot:

You cant go wrong with a hi power. I really want one myself.

[hybridatsun350]

I voted Super Blackhawk .44 mag. They are very nice revolvers!

[Plebius15]

I voted for the CZ 75, but a shotgun would be a good choice too. Anything by Remington will do you well.

Buy one from Big 5 during one of their sales. $300-330. Remington has an active rebate now that will return $30.

Go to Midway and buy a plain 18-odd inch barrel for $110ish. Swap barrels as needed.

As for mag cap, 4+1 isn't bad. I'm not certain that having an extra 2 rounds in the tube makes or breaks an HD shotgun. You could always add an extension/sidesaddle/butt cuff later if it really matters to you.
