CMP GARAND
You pay $500, a few weeks later a fedex truck comes to your house and drops off an unbelievable well made rifle that's worth $700 minimum. How can you go wrong? |

springfield 1911 and a 12 gauge would run about 1000
or get a kimber for 1000, the kimber will most likly be a little more accurate also get some heavier 223 rounds for the ar you have so it can reach out a little better, that will allow you to hold off on a MBR for a little longer |

are you allowed to carry in MS? CCW available? If so get a handgun. If not, get another rifle as an AR15 is the best candidate for home defense anyway. Of your choices, I like the HK Tactical and the M1A

IMO, if you already have an AR, then you need a pistola - a nice 1911 would be my first choice. If I had to thow all but one of my pistols away - I'd keep the 1911, without thinking twice about it.
For home defense, don't forget about the good ole' Mossberg 590 or Remington 870! (not good for punching paper though) |

+1 You have a rifle...... get a pistol and a shotgun. A Kimber Custom II can be had for around $600, and a Mossy pump 12 guage for around $225. CPO Sig's are a hell of a deal right now too. Check the ad in the EE...... a P226 or P229 , with both .40SW and .357 Sig barrels for $550. |

If you are buying a pistol to carry I'd buy two.
There was a thread recently about how one of our members team leader had a home invasion, shot the guy and then the cops took his only gun/pistol for evidence. 6 month wait. Pistols are 99% personal preference. All the big name brands are decent reliable if you do a wee bit of HW on them. You could build a pair of 1911's for under a 1000. A pair of glocks can easily be had as well. Pair of G19's seem popular as it is a do it all gun. Find two used glocks for cheap cheap you could have enough left over to build another AR. I vote for a PAIR of pistols. |

Get a CMP Garand, but only a CMP Garand (At least get a genuine USGI Garand. Their inventory is dwindling. (BTW, a CMP Garand is a used Garand)
You can then get a Sig from CDNN. They have police trade-ins that have been sent back to Sig and gone over by them. They are well less than $500. Though I heartily recommend you get an AR10 at some point, get the Garand while the getting is good. I have a feeling that once CMP runs out, the ones already in circulation will escalate in value a great deal. ETA: ALPHAGHOST, I didn't see your post when I posted this, so sorry. |

I'd get the S&W 686 or the Sig P229 in .40 and get the .357 Sig barrel with it. 686's are fabulous revolvers, and the 229 is a perfect semi-auto.
