What gun would you buy with $500?

[DadSmith]

What would the gun be used for? Very different when deciding on a gun if it's going to be used for carry, for competition, general range use, etc.

You forgot to add $500 > safe queen.

 

[SAILORGOLF46]

Any clean S&W revolver pre lock I could find locally.

Get a nice multi role plinker like the rugr mkIV. On the other hand you could get a nice hunting setup on an 870 or mossburg 500 w/ 2 barrels. One barel for home defense/deer slugs and one for shooting clays or bird hunting. One purchase, many options!

Can't think of anything. I am really set with firearms.

Maybe a full size M&P 9

 

[Gabriel]

There isn't much in that range I would be to interested in. Maybe a Glock 48 MOS, but likely a Glock 44 since I like having rimfire trainers for my centerfires.

I really think shooting rimfires as part of my weekly range sessions is improving my centerfire abilities, possibly even quicker than if I shot centerfire exclusively.

Probably a Rock Island STK100. Seems to fix the issues I had with my Glock 17 - mostly grip and grip angle - and adds many features. So that’s a WANT.

Though what I really NEED is a second/backup M&P 2.0 9C.

I had one, good gun. I traded it away, wish I hadn't now, just didn't need a full size 9mm at the time.
For my $500 gun, I'd buy a Kel Tec P17, and a bunch of ammo...

When I was using a Remington 700 for work, I shot my CZ455 a bunch as an inexpensive trainer. I found a very noticeable improvement on how fast I could get behind the rifle, get set up, and be ready to fire. I found it surprising as I was concentrating on the shooting aspect and trigger time itself, but found a lot more benefits than I had expected.

Taurus Tracker 6” in 357 mag. Great revolvers for the price point.

I would love to have it, cash is short right now.....lol

 

[ACC]

Taurus TX22 Competition

 

[thatpat451]

Looking into a Canik at that price range for myself right now

 

[zachcz]

Totally depends on use of gun. For me it’s find a good price on a standard cz75 or go the 22 route. P17 or tx22 and ammo

 

[Andy NWI]

I would probably buy another j frame. They are the guns I carry the most
