Input on Gun buying please


Diamonds

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I am going to buy a handgun soon. I want to go to a range and test fire some different guns. Where would be a good place to do so? I live on the north side of town.

 

As far as guns i know i like. I remember a HK USP tactical 45 and a Springfield XD 45. Im also not opposed to looking at 1911's as well.

 

This day and age... what would i expect to pay for a used HK USP tactial or even one with the match setup?

 

Thanks, other rec's would be great too.

Yes. I would consider it a decent 1911 to start out with. No frills, but I'm sure it won't let you down. My father owns one and has shot the crap out of it.

Powder room does have rental guns but their selection is limited compared to BlackWing.

 

It seems your budget is a bit higher than most. I would suggest shooting some Sig's aswell. By far the best grip I've ever felt on a handgun was on the Sig sp2022 (chambered in 9mm, .40 and .357 i think). Simple polymer frame with steel slide, it was a beut i still kick myself for not picking it up when i have the chance. If you have the budget look at their higher end models also.

If you were thinking about a HK USP 45 Match then you might like the H&K MK23 even better. The USP 45 Match will run you 2Gs.

USP 45 Tacticool, you are probably looking at around 1200 new, a regular USP45 will run you about 900 to 1000 new.

 

Gander mountain in reynoldsburg has all of H&K USPs in stock, but they are pricy though.

 

I am not a big fan of XDs. I would much rather have a M&P45 Pro with a Apexi Trigger kit installed.

Ohio Valley

 

$10 for the range rental

$10 to rent first gun

$5 a gun after that

 

+1 except it's south east

 

I just got an XDm 4.5" and love it so far. I plan to buy a nice 1911 sooner or later (Sig Sauer/Kimber)

 

what happened to your SR1911? I think thats the best bang for the buck.

Match barrel, Adjustable sights, Better trigger

 

For me it justifies the extra money and when I want another 1911 it will probably be the one I get.

 

This. My pops just picked one up at the range I shoot at. $775- new, with two mags, holster(s) and cleaning kit. Awesome gun for the money.
