New Purchase

[ksig1869]

Hey Im trying to decide on my next purchase but can't really decide. I would really like a 1911 but have heard that ammo is hard to come by. So I leave some options up to you to help me decide.

Thanks

The shortages can't last forever.

If you really want a 1911, get it. No sense denying yourself another day of owning one.

I voted for the RIA but it really depends on what you want to do with your next purchase.

Sig elite 220

I voted for the P226 before I read your post.

If you want a 1911, though, get one. Like someone else said, the shortages can't last forever. In my area, at least, they seem to be getting a lot better.

Sig 226 all the way!!!!!!! Just curious why you want the DAK vs. the DA/SA? I prefer .40 cal as well, the weight of the gun really tames the round and makes for accurate shooting...........

Don't let ammo dictate what gun you purchase, unless you're buying a pistol at a steal because others are frustrated they can't find ammo for it.

For instance, I was looking for a small summer carry and stumbled on a Bersa Thunder .380 that was stainless, almost new, and $180. They had 7 others. Nobody had ammo for the .380 except the expensive hollowpoints, and so I waited until it was available. Found 400 rounds at walmart one day about a month after, so that inconvenience resolved itself and I got a ~$300 gun for a darned good deal because someone else was concerned about not finding ammo.

Out of your list, I like the top 3. .45's are expensive to shoot, but a 1911 is so much fun to shoot it's worth the extra price IMHO.

If you want a 1911 (or whatever pistol you're leaning towards), you probably won't be happy until you get one. I had my eye on a Beretta for a while, decided not to for one reason or another, and finally wound up getting it. Very happy with it, and I wish I bought that right off the bat instead of screwing arond buying guns that were 'good enough' and selling them off one by one later down the road.

I'm getting a Kimber 1911 next, and hopefully a P226 not long after. You got some nice guns up there to choose from, no wonder it's a tough decision .

Personally I'd go with the Baby Eagle, although I'd get it in the .45

For some reason I've had an extreme interest with them the past couple of weeks
