You need to buy more handguns man, this is a top 5 list.  :)
1911.........Dan Wesson is nice as are Springfields in the sub $2,000 range.  I am a Sig guy, but I have difficulty suggesting one buys anything Sig unless they've had years in the market with that particular model to hash out issues.  Over $2,000 I'd say Ed Brown, Les Baer, Wilson Combat.

Aaaaaah, Ed Brown.
This year I'm going to buy a custom made Ed Brown.
			 
			
			- 
				I only have 4 pistols, so for me they top 4 would be:
1) Glock 17
2) Glock 17 FDE
3) Glock 34
4) HK USP 40c 
Yeah, I have two of the same gun. Well, three since a 34 is pretty close to a 17. I was seriously looking at a Springfield TRP about a month ago, but that's gonna have to wait for a while. 
I'd like to eventually get a 45, but the ammo is so expensive compared to 9mm. 
			 
			
			- 
				
Okay replace my Mossberg with a Browning Buckmark 5.5 Target...
 ;D
			 
			
			- 
				I wish I could post my top five, but I only have four.
Sig P220
Glock 19
Ruger Mark III
Kimber 10mm

So what are your thoughts on a Sig P226 Scorpion( not the 1911)? 
I have a need for another 9mm, on a FDE kick and the Scopion is on my short list.
Dont want to side track the original post, so an IM is good if you could.

I just got it about a month ago.  Only about 50 rounds through it, but I'm really liking it so far.  
You should get one!

Aaaaaah, Ed Brown.
This year I'm going to buy a custom made Ed Brown.
What??!!!  GZ has a gun that KK does not? :D

Sorry, but I don't know anything about the 226 Scorpion.  It's my opinion that if it's just a cosmetic deal, then fine as the 226 platform has been around for a while, but if they've screwed with the action and it hasn't been out for a couple of years, I'd pass.

I'm going to have one made with custom engraving and a personalized serial number.
Which one you got?
How do you like it?

Oh the possibilities of a personalized serial number...any idea of what you gonna put?

I have a Molon Labe........which is basically just an Executive.  Got it used, but it had some features that I wanted on it............25 lpi checkering front and back strap and rail in front.  Ended up changing the rear sight to a 10-8.
The gun is finicky man.  I had intended to go from my P220 Elite as my primary to the Ed Brown.  I think with the stuff that's come out for the M&P recently, I'm going to go with the M&P in 9 or 40 as my primary instead.

Damn, that's not what I wanted to hear.
When you spend that kind of money, you expect the utmost reliability.

The tighter you make things, the more stuff can go wrong.  Same thing goes for AK's.........loose gun makes a lot of issues go away.
Anyhow, you have to figure the 1911 was designed to shoot a certain cartridge.  When people start trying to run a bunch of different stuff through it, you are going to have issues.  You'll just need to figure out what's going to work for you.
...........we can set up a time (not this weekend) when you can shoot my 1911.  It'll give you an idea of what the gun is like.

Haha Amen!
			 
			
			- 
				I only 4... In order of preference
W. German Sig P220
Beretta px 4 Storm .40
FN p40
Steyr M40
Sold my Colt Gov. 380, getting a W German Sig p230 sometime soon to replace. Wants an HK45 but cannot. Need to save up for optics
I like the .40 S&W round, but in retrospect I wish I had gone with all .45s simply because of the mag capacity restrictions here. Would like to replace the Beretta & FN with their .45 equivalents. Also want a mouse gun in .380, prolly the Taurus
Don't care for revolvers, but someday I will get a Colt Python in bright stainless... just because I always wanted one since I was a kid. They are sooo sexy.
			 
			
			- 
				Finally!! I'll HAVE a 5 when my permits come in!!
1911, Kimber Stainless TLE II
Glock 19 (X-Ring)
Ruger Single Six (OGC)
Ruger SP101 .357 mag (Private sale)
Sig Mosquito (OGC)
I paid for the SP101 after HPD closed Friday and the Mosquito today. I'm gonna have 5 permits to acquire going through the system by Monday (long gun one too). The guys at HPD will be getting kinda familiar with my face after this...

				Aloha 2aHawaii Ohana, 
I'm building my top five, which so far has been acquired completely from members of 2aHawaii:
1. Glock 21 Gen4                Mahalo to Sammich 
2. Dan Wesson Valor         Mahalo to gsmgc         (In waiting period now so, maybe the rank will change once I get to experience the 1911 goodness as they say)
3., 4., 5. ?                              Soaking in knowledge, gaining shooting experience and looking every day for help from the 2A Ohana to see where to go from here...or a deal too good to pass up!
Mahalo to:
- moosed for the guidance, support and referral to 2aHawaii! 
- Clayton S. for his friendship, encouragement and enthusiasm for firearms.
- Daniel Oshima, Kaneohe Gun Shop,  for taking the time to share his practical knowledge to get me started right.
- Devin Sasai from Shooting Solutions for his excellent training.
- viet_ladin for the 966 rounds of 45ACP so I can have fun running the guns.
- HPD Firearms Division and the Koko Head Range Teams as they have all been great.

CARTER BERLIN @OGCTACTICAL 25 Apr
JUST ARRIVED, 5 OF THE SIG SAUER P226 9MM NAVY MK25 WITH 3 10 ROUND MAGS $949
3:49 PM - 25 Apr 13
I was told there are people calling today from the mainland wanting to buy them, but most are not interested in the 10-round mags we get with them.  Standard is 15 rounds.  
I guess the P226 supply hasn't quite been keeping up with demand.  Strange, since that NEVER happens with firearms!   :rofl:
Two weeks from now, it'll be in my safe ... and one day later, at the range!    :geekdanc:

Two weeks from now, I'll be pissed off having to wait in the long line at HPD, and then it'll be in my safe ... and one day later, at the range!    :geekdanc:
You forgot one tiny little detail. 
			 
			
			- 
				nice buy.  Wish i could purchase another pistol right now, but looks like i still need to save up a bit more
			
 
			
			- 
				
You forgot one tiny little detail.
If it's like today, I was in and out in 30 minutes, picking up one pistol permit and filling out the forms for the P226 permit.  Not as bad as it's been!   :shaka:

				Unless OGC gets a shipment in again!!!  Hahahahaha, nah
