If you're not buying every SCAR17 you can find for $1100, please show me where they are, i'll be every single one they have and easily double my money. Least expensive one i see on GB is $3500 with 20 bids and has 2.5 days left on the auction time. If you know someone selling a SCAR17 for $1100, BUY IT. But maybe you meant the FNX45 Tac in FDE.... That is indeed around $1100 and you likely won't find for much less. Gun broker has a few Buy it Now options for $1000. But that's gonna be the bottom of the barrel for a new one. I doubt you'll find a good condition used one for much less either.

Lol no, if it was a SCAR light or heavy for 1100 I would have a stockpile of them. I got mine for 2300 brand new so I can't complain. But the FNX I've been frugal with lately. However, the way politics are looking right now I may end up biting the bullet (no pun intended). |

I've shot a S&W .500 revolver...that thing kicks hard. Hard enough to hurt my toothpick wrists after only 8 shots. But it also brought a smile to my face, so there's that. |

I'm a relative noob with firearms and living in the People's Republic of Maryland with their messed up rules.
Anyways, only have two firearms now. H&K VP9 (really for the wife and home defense) with a SureFire tac light Windham Weaponry HBC AR15 with a few mods. Looking to get a Sig P320 soon. |

Can you believe that they raised the cigarette tax a few years back only to find that revenue went down due to people buying cigs from Va/Delaware......and what was their response? To make it a criminal act to bring more than a couple packs of butts into the state...... UFB Progressivism.....ideas so good they have to be mandatory |

I hit the range again on the way home....damn it! Bought another gun. I have liked the Springfield XD-S since the first time I picked it up. Was looking for something in 9mm and smaller in size. It has optic sights and shoots and feels like a dream. The only downside side is that it comes with 7 & 8 round Mags but the largest is 10. SMH...thank the Lord for speed loaders...

Edit: sorry I didn't read the whole thread first and should have known this age old argument would have already commenced.

See the link i posted a while back in this thread. MOST of the .40cal rounds tested underperformed. Note that some people think a bullet that can go through 3 people is super deadly, but over penetration is an under performing characteristic. This isn't my opinion to disagree with, these are quantifiable facts. Feel free to disagree with my opinion that the minuscule differences between 9mm, .40cal and .45acp ballistics makes the 9mm the smart decision for a cc pistol. But the tested and measured ballistics don't lie. With more and more LE agency moving back to 9mm it's fairly obvious what their opinion is. Someone posted about military sticking with the .45. And that's fine, but who uses pistols in the military? Infantry, no. SF and SO use pistols. Who are the average CC America's most similar to, a LEO or a SEAL? What kind of a bad guy are you, an average American, most likely to encounter? The same type as a LEO or a western way of life hating military combatant who is likely wearing some type of LBV or multiple layers of clothing? The weapon system that gives you the most options is the best one. A pistol is just part of an operator's weapon system. A pistol IS my weapon system, with that being the case... reliability, size, weight, mag capacity and operational effectiveness need to balance out more so than if my pistol was a back up weapon. 14 opinions of firearm industry experts asked to choose between 9mm and 45acp. http://www.tactical-life.com/gear/45.../#bsum-buffoni Only one of them chose .45 and did so because his imaginary deciding scenario limited each gun to 5 rounds. Not to mention he is one of the oldest in the group. And older people tend to perpetuate what they've believed their whole lives, even if modern technology makes what they believe obsolete.
