SITUATION: optional second gun
Hey everyone,
Im wondering if any of you have any thoughts on a second gun im hoping to purchase:
im looking at either a RIA 1911A1 3.5" barrel in .45 ACP or a springfield armory EMP in 9mm.
the Emp would be nice because its built on the 9mm platform, the same caliber as my XD9.
any advice?Springfield XD9 5" tactical

Re: SITUATION: optional second gun
It depends upon what you want this second gun to do. However, I see a hole in your small collection that really should be filled. Buy a .22 LR pistol/revolver. A pistol may be the better choice as you already own a pistol platform and those wheel guns are tricky.
Since you invoked the name of his Situation-ness:
If I were to guess what the Situation would suggest, it would be to get a gold plated Desert Eagle. Like this:
However, I stand by my suggestion. Get a great .22 LR like a Ruger Mark III so that you can spend lots of trigger time at the range working on your basic marksmanship skills. The venerable .22 LR is inexpensive, very accurate, low recoiling and just a tad cute. The more trigger time you spend the better shooter you will become. Buy a .22 LR, a good one (stay away from the trendy shite like the Sig Mosquito or the Walther P22) will pay you back many times over.Join the groups protecting your rights from the fools trying to take them from you!

I am totally serious about the .22 LR pistol recommendation. They are help build and hone the basic marksmanship skills that are essential to effectiveness. Consider it.

My 2nd - Sub comapct 9mm for CC/OC
My 3rd - Pocket 380 for deep conceal
