Well since my last post, I picked up a 590 SP and WASR 10 GP. Cancelled the layaway on the SPX, still want it but am good to go with a shotgun right now.
Still buying time on which M1A. Socom still my favorite, but been handling standards more and more, which are practically the same weight, and the Scout which I consider the best rifle period...but I like all 3 sizes. My new WASR I didn't for some reason check the one I was taking home during the call, got one with the front sight so misaligned it wouldn't have rolled out of Intratec that far off. The one I got last fall came with an oil flask or something, this one instead came with a haggard leather sling featuring rusty metal. Got 7 boxes of Wolf FMJ & JHP, since I didn't see any cases in X39, Picked up some 7.5 Bird, #4 and low recoil 00 buck, Peters rifled slug and Brenneke TKO for the 12 gauge. I'm buying back my old 500 so my boy can have an heirloom, was thinking of swapping wood furnature onto the 590 and getting a leather military sling for a more old school trench broom look. Was able to resist getting a cheap S&W M-9 Bayonet for it.(...for now
)
Order for the Daly HP fell thru, well from that source. Really would prefer a 1911 even a classic Mil Spec style. It's the only handgun I've ever shot well. And since I don't CCW should be a no brainer, perfectly fine SD weapon that I could use in competition. Saw a nice used S&W 4566 for 450, I like it alot but something is holding me back, always wanted a 4506 though, always thought was the best DA 45, more than a P220. But still looking at the HP, Steyr M9A1, and XD 45 Tactical for the one of the same reasons SLR's are a priority-capacity. My handgun could be any of the above.
Kind of wish I would have got the SPX instead but am satisfied for now with the tough as nails 590. That is one shotgun I've wanted since a teen, now finally have one, was looking at a Supernova Tactical for a pump, but got this baby at Dick's for 350. The WASR was just something to get while I can, something to stash away, and had opportunity to take it home for 340. all up. Was at Dunham's looking for a M-44 or Ishapore but this AK was not much more than them so now, she's with me. I plotted for a long time on what I'd get and in what order, still going to get everything on my short list soon. Soon as I decide on a pistol I'll have the hardware to participate in this exciting sport.
