2K to spend

rickmelear · December 3, 2018, 08:49 PM

If you had 2K to spend on a range gun for either poking paper or ringer steel at 25 yards what should you buy. No preference on revolver or semi just must centerfire.

1stmar · December 3, 2018, 09:09 PM

Id look for a les baer. Used if necessary.

Pops1085 · December 3, 2018, 10:51 PM

A hi-point and a TON of ammo haha

JJE · December 3, 2018, 11:40 PM

I was just thinking about blowing a bunch of $$$ on a gun. I decided not to do it, but the gun that most caught my attention was this CZ Tactical Sports Orange for only $1784 MSRP so you'd have some ammo money left over: https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-75-tactical-sport-orange/

mk70ss · December 4, 2018, 03:56 PM

Exactly this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FrankenMauser · December 4, 2018, 04:05 PM

A Buckmark and a bunch of ammo.

...Or a Walther GSP in .32 S&W Long.

lifesizepotato · December 4, 2018, 07:08 PM

Used Pardini GT9

Siggy-06 · December 4, 2018, 07:12 PM

Eh, get a CZ SP-01, a bunch of ammo, and maybe take a class or two.

Cheapshooter · December 4, 2018, 07:56 PM

S&W 617 4" (22 rimfire I know. But what in the world is wrong with a great paper punching double duce?)
CZ SP01
Glock 40MOS
All three for pretty close to the 2K budget (without opticfor the Glock)

Nathan · December 4, 2018, 08:06 PM

S&W 14-3 6” 38 spcl target revolver - I really love this thing. With the right wadcutter load, it is truly amazing!

Dan Wesson Custom - You tell them what you want, they make it great...all for right around $2000!

thallub · December 4, 2018, 08:12 PM

Buy a Sig 210.

JWT · December 4, 2018, 08:12 PM

Almost any of Dan Wesson 1911 offerings.

Targa · December 4, 2018, 09:15 PM

$2000 dollars? I am either buying a Colt SA in .45lc or I am buying a S&W 586 and another 1911. ( I can never pry mine out of my wife’s hands to shoot it...

)

briandg · December 5, 2018, 09:21 AM

I might consider a vintage smith model 29 in top grade.

Maybe a nicely decorated SAA, not a colt, an uberti or other

44caliberkid · December 5, 2018, 09:27 AM

Coonan.357 semi auto pistol

grinner · December 5, 2018, 09:33 AM

A SIG 210 for me, with money left over for a lot of ammo!

Yes, a Sig P210.

Another vote for the Colt SAA. They are great guns.

S&W 586

That is a must have! It is on my short list too!

briandg · December 5, 2018, 12:52 PM

I just thought of a contender. I'm thinking that I could get one with rimfire barrel, a centerfire barrel, and at least one quality scope for $2.

EnoughGUN · December 6, 2018, 10:09 PM

Do you just want an expensive gun that screams I spend 2k or a high end gun that performs regardless of price?
Steel hammer fired go witness elite limited and spend the remaining $800 on ammo and earmuffs.
Poly striker fired call Rain6 and get one of their Archon Type B Type R mods with an RMSc. Not only will it be a laser gun but there won’t be another guy on the line with one.

Rangerrich99 · December 6, 2018, 10:14 PM

Not the popular choice, but I'd get this:

No particular reason, just been wanting one ever since I saw one in the LGS four years ago.

Oh, about $1950 so you'd save yourself $50. What a deal!

10-96 · December 7, 2018, 03:04 AM

$2k, huh? For a semi auto, I'd be on the phone with Cajun Gun Works to see what kind of CZ magic they have. For a revolver, I'd have to go with either a S&W 544 or 520.

upstate81 · December 7, 2018, 09:01 AM

Id likely go with a smith and wesson model 27 with a nice set of original target stocks.

Same here, or a HK P7 because they are just SO cool to shoot (I have two that will go to my grave if need be.)
