Sorry I didn't make it into the first round, I always seem behind when you guys announce an entry show. Here are my plans to rebuild my pistol collection with $5,000. I am assuming no shipping, tax, or transfer fees on any of these. Most of my pricing is an average from Gunbroker, picking the first 2 or 3 completed and roughly averaging them together.
I want to bookend with not really cheats this time.
First up is a Mac-5 mp5 clone as a large format pistol. Atlantic firearms has them for $1,010 but I paid $975 for mine last year. Roller delayed 9mm is sweet.
Next up is a blued Smith & Wesson Model 25 in 45 Colt with a 6 inch barrel. The less known Irish twin of the 29. $775
For carry, I would pick up another Hellcat Pro in 9mm. $550
For backup carry, I am adding an LCP Max in .380 $300
Next up is a Tisas 1911. These are on Gunbuyer.com for $320
To scratch my big bore itch, I picked a Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley in 44 Magnum with a 7.5 inch barrel. $800 on gunbroker.
I suppose for "big-ish" bore? A Hi-point JXP in 10mm. Just bought one for $129 from RK guns on sale but I see $150 would buy one quite easily.
Next, but not growing a man-bun for it, a CZ75B in 9mm. $550
My last choice is a bit of a cheat, I would buy a build kit from Maf-arms.com (shout out to Matt) for a G19 clone for $221.33 and since the frame would cost roughly $3 to print, that leaves me just over $300 for a 3D printer. Also the BB19 from Broken Bullets is the best grip for the 3D printed Glock, change my mind!
To be honest, I am pretty happy with what I have now, so many of these would be re-buying old friends. There are a couple of things I would probably do differently, but it's minimal. Thank you all for the show.
