    Default Can't decide what to get next ...

    I starting building my handgun collection with a S&W M&P 9mm (targets and IDPA) added a Kimber Ultra CDP II in .45 (heavy carry), a SIG P238 in .380 (light carry), and a SIG P250 2some In 9mm (for the heck of it). After adding some long guns, I agreed I'd hold off on any new firearms until 2012.

    WELL!!!! That's only 9 more days!

    I don't have a clue what to get next. I'm intrigued by the FN 5.7, but not sure what to really look at. Thoughts?

    Why not one of those guns with the turny things? Perhaps in .45 acp since you already stock the caliber?

    Just noticed a 5.7 for sale in the classifieds. I vote AR!

    Smile Re: Can't decide what to get next ...

    I could definitely use an AR as well. Aside from my hunting tools, I only have a SIG 556 in the sporting category. I wanted a M&P-15 MOE before I bought the SIG, so that's not a bad idea ....

    I am gonna go check out that 5.7 in the classifieds just the same, though!

    The questions is, what are you in the mood to get? Want to go classic? Want to go flashy? Practical? Unique?

    That's really the dilemma. And mostly because the answer is YES, I want them all!

    I'm so glad this forum exists -- I think you guys are the only ones who get it when I say that. I suppose I should consider a revolver to round out things a bit, but I just can't get into them for some reason. I suppose maybe it's time to think about something unique, which is sort of how I view the 5.7, and possibly why I have been intrigued by it for the past year.

    a 5.7 for just the range or to carry?

    Definitely just for the range, plinking, carrying around the deer camp. The frame seems a little large to conceal for defensive carry. And, I feel pretty good with my current options. I mostly carry a compact .45, with a .380 filling in when I'm wearing light summer gear.

    Revolver resistance is futile! Just put a few cylinders down range and you will be hooked.
    Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.

    it can be concealed. that being said, it is accurate as hell, but not something i would want to carry. very loud and muzzle flash in low/no light is immense. but accurate as hell!
