An AK-47 type rifle is loads of fun and cheap to buy and shoot.

I have a Smith & Wesson M&P.40 that I like a lot!!
Its extremely user friendly, comes with adjustable grip sizes (S/M/L) that are easy to change out which make it very comfortable. Plus its deadly accurate!! As for what caliber you want, well that's up to you....the .40's nice. Plus you can buy the .357 barrell and swap it out.....the mags will take both the .357 and the .40 also, so no need buy seperate mags.
A few features:
night sights
swappable mag release/safety (left or right handed)
tactical rail
exchangeable grips (backstrap)
can fire w/out mag inserted if a round is chambered (an option I chose)
Anyhow, I hope that helps a lil.

What is your budget looking like? What purpose will the pistol be for (plinking, self defense, IPSC/IDPA, etc.)?
-
Why not get a wheelgun? you could get a .357 mag and shoot cheaper 38spl at the range. I'd recommend a ruger gp100, sp101, or no lock smith&wesson. Or If you're set on a auto, I second the m&p for poly pistols. Most comfortable grip I've handled.

I agree that the M&P grip is comfortable but if you want to feel the ultimate in ergonomic comfort, wrap your hands around a HK P30.
This is the gold standard in comfort. It's expensive but mmm mmm mmm, it feels good in the hand.

My budget isnt too bad. Nothing more than 1300 which is what i got my Kimber for. And an ak sounds nice. Wheel gun sound nice also but never shot one haha. Also any gun of mine will be plunking/sd/killing pigs. No matter. Haha
-
OMG if I had $1300 to spend on a handgun this is what I would get:

With $1300, I'd probably have a Ruger GP100 and a Super Redhawk in .44 Magnum. I like this spending other people's money.

Dang, $1300?! The gun/ammo I would buy with that kine money....LMAO!! :rofl:
You're practically able to buy almost any pistol you like.....and all these great suggestions from everybody! The only question now is what wll you choose.....the M&P, that KILLA 1911, a Sig, maybe an AK, maybe the Wheelgun or maybe even that bad ass Super Redhawk .44.
$hit, I'm getting excited and Im not even the one buying a gun...hahahahaha!! :D
-
Lol. I didnt think 1300 was too bad. Its what I got the Kimber for. Now to just go to the store and look at all the suggestions to make up my mind
-
The S&W 1911 looks nice but if i buy another 1911 i think i want to keep my aluminum frame. Love it
-
$1300 definitely gives you a bunch of options.
My recommendation is to buy one ( or more ) guns that are "shooters".
You've got plenty of time in life to buy collectible pieces.
Find guns that you enjoy shooting.
Thats why I love my Glocks and AK's and 10/22 so much.
They're just so damn fun to shoot.
Actually, Glock $499, AK $499, 10/22 $219. That s $1217 plus the obligatory 4.712% tax of $57.35 = $1274.35. Oh my gosh, I think we've got a winner.

If you are talking wheeled handguns, then I'd suggest a S&W 460V or 460XVR. You will be able to shoot 45 Colt, 454 Casull, and 460 SW Mag. Ammo won't necessarily be cheap, but with that handgun you can hunt almost anything in North America and definitely anything in Hawaii.
You can build yourself a nice AR for that kind of money too. AK is nice as well as it'll be enough to hunt with as well, but I'm not sure how hunting ammo would be for an AK.

That's nice. I'd also put a Springfield 1911 into that mix.

Im going to try to walk away with at least 2 guns. Wife wants an xd and hmm about 600 more to spend. Saturday we find out what i walk out with
-
So today was the day to make a purchase. Got 2 more pistols. First one Kahr cw9. The wife has puny hands and this one was perfect for her. Second i went the Glock route. I got the Glock 22 gen 4. It was the most comfortable for me.
-
congrats, good choices!
-
Thanks. Kind of excited for the .40.
-
The Glock 22 is a great gun.
You wont be sorry.
-
Both should be good guns.
If you didn't see this before, there is a MIR for a free magazine for that Kahr. http://www.kahr.com/PDF/FKCWM2011.pdf (http://www.kahr.com/PDF/FKCWM2011.pdf)
