What about us that are deeply entrenched in Liberal bastions?
With all The Obamafuhrer has to do, I don’t think he’ll want to get in to a second amendment quagmire, it would stir the conservative base too much. And, it would take too long. I do think, however, he’ll just quietly put regulations on the manufacture, import, and sale of ammo of all kinds. Watch for that, and stock up on ammo. And keep your powder dry.
Thanks for posting, this should be very helpful. Don’t forget to BLOAT...
will the NRA allow this?
Both have received excellent reviews and come highly recommended.
I’d like a recommendation for 2 and 6. Please private reply.
Wow ya should have been here earlier I just sold all of mine ......
At this point, anything that requires a magazine is probably too expensive. For handguns, I recommend a revolver and plenty of speedloaders. .38 is the minimum caliber, you want the most powerful cartridge you can fire accurately. I’m partial to Smith and Wesson, but some people still have grudges.
Shotguns: police like Remington 870s, the Marines prefer Mossberg 500 series. Both are good, but I’ve got a Mossberg.
And the SKS is the way to go for rifles. Cheap, reliable, and no magazines to get lost or damaged.
That’s what I’ve got, and what I recommend. Whatever you’ve got, PRACTICE.
You can’t beat a Remington 870 pump shotgun. Also—don’t underestimate the value of a good lever action rifle.
What do you want these for? Self-defense, target shooting, hunting? For example, a “high-end” target pistol might be a Smith&Wesson Model 41 .22, but you wouldn’t purchase that for self-defense. Knowing your intended use would make it easier for folks to give meaningful suggestions.
Not sure what you mean by “high end” necessarily, unless you just mean more expensive.
My personal picks are:
For the home - Winchester Model 1300 Defender 12 GA 2 3/4 / 3”. It’s a pump with an 18” barrel. I use 4shot ammo which tends to have a spread of about 8” at 20 feet with this setup. It was a gift but these are quite inexpensive and require little to no maintenance.
For the car - Full size Bersa Thunder 9mm semi-auto with hammer decock/safety combo easily accessible with the thumb. Can initiate firing with double action, after which it’s single, or chamber with the slide for starting single action. Ran me about $350 at Academy. I use regular Winchester hollowpoints.
I’m still looking for a good CHL semiauto in 9mm that doesn’t cost a fortune. Small frame guy needs a small frame gun.
For a basic revolver, a four or six inch barrel S&W K frame in .357 magnum. You could shoot .38 special in them too. For a high end revolver one of the Smith $ Wesson model 29 variants. I think 6 inches is about right for it.
For a basic shotgun, I would go for a Remington 870 pump or an 1187 auto. For a high end shotgun there is nothing wrong with any Browning over under be it superposed, Citori or one of the newer models. All of the shotguns should have interchageable chokes.
You forgot one of the most useful guns there is, the .22 rifle. The basic Ruger 1022 is not the best .22 rifle but it is perfect for a lot of uses and has so many accessories such a high capacity mags that it is almost a necessity.
I also think everyone should have a couple of high power European air rifles in 177 caliber. If it is really powerful it could be in 5mm or .22 . What ever you get stock up on ammo and accessories such as scopes spare mags etc.
I recommend an any variant of the AK-47, they are relatively cheap and extremely durable (avoid the Egyptian ones, they’re absolute crap). They’ll fire even if they’re full of gunk and grit, whereas the M-16 family starts malfuntioning the second it even starts to get a little bit dirty (sorry guys, but it’s true). Get at least a thousand rounds of ammo. Seems like a lot, but it goes quickly. As for pistols, I’d get a full-size 9mm, the Taurus knock-off of the Beretta is very affordable. (If you’re a M-16 lover, please don’t flame me for telling the truth, I’ll only spread it more if you do. Nice on the range, LOUSY for combat conditions)
This from a non-hunter, take a look at the Mossberg 500 Persuader.
It has a short barrel, and unlike the Remington and probably most others, the safety is in the natural place to quickly slide it to OFF.
For hunters who are used to the Remington and others that have the safety by the trigger guard it probably IS NOT in the natural place, and could cost that fraction of a second. For me, the non-hunter, it’s perfect and factored big on chosing it.
The release for the slide is also in a very natural place.
I keep a shell in the chamber so that I am ready to go, and don’t have to betray my position with the noisy chambering sound.
I won't mention the types of weapons I have but I know how to each and every one of them.
Mossberg 500 12Ga pump shotgun with Tactical Stock, barrel stabilizer with rail and mounted flashlight, holographic sights. Love it!
Therefore, buy rifles such as AR-15s, AR-10s, Kalashnikovs and Saigas first. Buy pistols with large capacities. Buy lots of mags and ammo too.
It won't be long before Obama and Biden resurrect the "assault weapon" ban, and then the prices will skyrocket for "pre-ban" guns. Depending on how they write the law, it may be impossible to buy or own them then.
Buy now or never. Executive orders are coming soon. 72 days and counting. You can always get the other types of firearms later.
What? No pictures?
