This is largely why most of my handguns (all but 2 or 3) are Glocks. Same holsters, mags, parts, etc.
If you think it sucks for handguns, don't buy any rifles. Optics, mounts, etc. add up fast. |

1911 and BHP use the same holster. G19 can use a G22 holster. Not everything needs night sights. Ammo is never a bad investment.

For some reason I build those costs in my head into the cost of said platform. And pmags are used on lots of stuff. |

Slow down you don't have to have everything at once - get a small carry pistol and get the needed gear to carry it and shoot it enough to gain the at least basic skills. A 22 target pistol to practice fundamentals at the range . Everything else can wait. It has taken me decades to buy sell and trade my way to the ideal handgun battery and am not fully there yet!

I'm not necessarily new to this; been carrying for 3+ yrs and have all the bells and whistles for a CZ (4 holsters, internals, mags, night sights, spare parts, TLR-1s, etc). It's just doing it over and over. And I tend to buy projects - beat to shit CZ 83 and Hi Power so that compounds the issue.

It's like sharing jeans with your brother Not everything needs night sights. or dawson/novak/heinie sights or the like. That GI grap and 1950s hi power sights won't cut it. Ammo is never a bad investment. Funny story, I work in insurance and multiple people have asked if they can insure their ammo |

Right.... anything more than one is "elective".

Not buying a handgun, but a complete system.
Even a relatively inexpensive Ruger SR22PB got more expensive when you add two spare magazines making four, a HiViz front sight, a holster, and 1000 rounds of .22LR at today's prices. Whatever you buy, it is pretty much useless without the stuff that makes its system functional. |

SIG X-Five magazines are roughly $100 apiece.
Stop the whining.

Expect to spend $1,000 minimum.
That's what I tell people that are looking to buy a handgun. That's my (unfortunately) time proven analysis of what it takes to get and outfit a new pistol. Gun - $5-700 (minimum) 3-4 spare magazines - $100-120 Holster & Mag carrier - $120-150 JHP for HD / Carry (including rounds to "proof" the gun with the ammo) - $150-200 Range Ammo - $100-150 Other accessories (weapon light, stocks, cleaning supplies, misc parts, handgun safe - whatever, some but not all) $150-300 I think I've come in under the wire a couple of times - revolvers and an LCP. Other than that, I've cracked $1k every time. It's brutal. And of course, there are the guns that blow right by $1,000 in straight purchase price. |

I feel you OP, the part that really grates on me is the magazines. Don't get me wrong it is totally worth it, but right now I can buy 5 pmags or even more USGI mags for my AR for the same price as one magazine for my new Sig Pro 2022. This is at my local shop.

Dang! You're buying a bunch of stuff!
That's one of the reasons I'm reducing everything to a Glock 19. I tried to save money where I could. I got a relatively decent IWB, but I need Kydex now for OWB with a light. Magazines, magazines, magazines - that is definitely where the money starts raining. Night sights can get really expensive and then there is the install cost. Thank God I have a GT Distributors next to me. NIB mags for less than $24 out the door, and the 33 rounders have been on sale for $28 these last couple of weeks. The Ameriglo Pro Glo sights were $90 with no installation fee, and I had a 10% off coupon! I'm keeping my eyes on the EE for used Kydex. If I go new, I'm probably going with JM Custom. |

I think the worst thing is for the amount of handguns there is there easily less than half in holsters.
Sucks when you like a gun and no one makes a holster for it |

This is why I sold most of my centerfire pistols and focused on Glocks and 1911's. I was tired of supporting several platforms.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile For awhile there was like 2 Holsters that fit the PPQ (Safariland claims that none of there P99 holsters fit the PPQ) And many of the firearms from CZ besides the CZ75. Like I said its getting better now but that's because of smaller kydex companies. It go a hell of a lot better if Blackhawk and Safariland were updating there holster line Also to be said Is having little to none options for Holsters with a weapon light. Personally I want safariland to have a PPQ ALS holster that has an M3 light for it. To me if it has a rail there should be options in holsters for that. |
