If your anticipated shot w/a handgun is 50 yards, you have the wrong tool for the job. Maybe I am interpreting that incorrectly but that is the way I read it. With that said, a rimfire isn't the right tool for a 50 yard shot either, or any lethal shot.

exactly, and hey in the long run, the ammo is way cheaper, I went and checked out the exact gun you're talking about, it was like $430ish and then a 1000 round block of 22LR was like $40, way cheaper than .223 ammo haha

Yeah, my local shop normally sells it for $469 but they are selling them til Sunday for $369 for a "Black Friday Sale." They actually have a lot of great deals but I'm not gonna spend $1500 for a gun, at least not now while I'm finishing school and waiting on a baby

I'm not saying I plan on making a lethal shot from 50 yards. But if I ever go out camping or something and want something for some small game hunting (rabbits, groundhogs, etc.) I want a gun that is going to be accurate from that distance.

Whoa that's a steal if you ask me, well maybe you can just sell whatever golf stuff you have laying around. Even if you only sell say $200, that will still help out a bunch. You know what it's like in the market place lol it's hard to sell unless Pu have rock bottom prices already. Anyways if it was me I would say it's an opportunity to save money on something you were going to get regardless haha

Yeah man I love plinking with 22s I have my eye on an "MP5SD" 22LR version that I talked about earlier in the thread, it's great for shooting around the desert where I live. I've also always wanted a Walther P22

Gotcha. Well, if one of your objectives is still home protection, you certainly have a dilemma as the gun for that job isn't the same as the small game gun. You gotta have both guns....and you can never have too many guns!
And, this is not trying to turn this into a political thread, but if our current administration is going to clamp down on gun control, you can bet the "assault" category of weapons will be one of the first to get hit, making them harder to get/more expensive to get.

A solid 1911 will run you 800 all the way up to the 3,000-4,000 for the super customs.
But rock Island, Taurus, Regent, and a few others make solid economy entry level 1911's, and over time you can switch out parts to improve them.
seems the key to it is getting a 1911 with a well made slide and frame, all other parts can be upgraded down the road.
Springfield, Sig and a few other companies seem to offer some good packages of 1911's that have a lot of already upgraded parts.

It's a model that Springfield armory makes. It's a semi-custom 1911 full sized that is a cheaper model of their Professional model

Yep best price out there i can find is 1,345.00 at grabagun.com it's a great gun, but not one you have to start with. you can build over time, just like my AR's that i upgrade.

Yeah I'm betting I'm going to spend about a grand on mine, my favorite shooting store has some sessy Kimbers for 800-1000 and various other 1911s, in my opinion, nothing beats a good 1911, it's a classic lol
Mr. Satchmo
urielsatchmoortegaMR.Jinx
I'm a huge fan of the classic 1911 look, but the Kimber Custom II really have me drooling, my favorite is the Warrior and desert Warrior, so amazing, I have shot the Warrior numerous times

yes that one is dead sexy, like the Sig scorpion, and the Springfield lightweight operator i spoke about already.
Plus add the options that VZ grips give you and you can really deck out your 1911's
Mr. Satchmo
urielsatchmoortegaMR.Jinx
I like how easy it is to customize a good 1911 later-like you mentioned earlier, and I think changing the grip was rather easy
