Want to buy a semi-auto handgun and a wheel gun, what the general idea of a great combo, i got some ideas of wich would make the cut, would like the pros to jump in... JP.

 

[skoal]

S&w 500 and deagle 50ae
Yup that there is the big bang theory hahaha
Whats your budget? Any calibers in mind?

2500.00 aming for quality stuff ...JP.

 

[Wolfstrack]

S&W 686 s/s with 4.2 bbl

SIG 226 Elite s/s

 

[caramel]

S&W 686 s/s with 4.2 bbl

SIG 226 Elite s/s

S&W in 357 mag or 44 mag, i do reload both for my carbines... JP.

Jp, I am not a 1911 fan, however Smith makes a compact that shoots beautifully and it would really compliment a smith wheel gun. Go with 357 wheel gun as you can load tame loads of 38 for the kids. Semi in 45. If you want accuracy find a performance center smith and wesson and load it with wadcutters. You will be happy. Very happy.

If I was buying I would be buying an hk45 and colt python....the end.

Guns to buy:

A proper 1911 in .45 ACP - STI Trojan
A .38/.357 revolver - Smith & Wesson 686
A "tactical" 9mm - Glock 17
A rimfire practice gun - Ruger .22/45

That's a well-rounded collection, and you can switch up models if you want, maybe a Kimber .45, Ruger .357, S&W 9mm, and a Beretta .22 - that would work brilliant as well. You might be able to fit 3 of them within your budget and they're all fairly quality arms.

Then save for a .40S&W and a .44 Mag

 

[IM_Lugger]

Beretta 92 and 686 4.2"

 

[Wolfstrack]

S&W in 357 mag or 44 mag, i do reload both for my carbines... JP.

as I mentioned S&W 686 in 38/357m is the only one with a short 4.2" barrel S&W revolver that came in Canada (also a Ruger SP101 with 4.2 bbl)
you have a second choice in S&W 629 44m, but with a 5" bbl

Great list in my opinion but drop the Glock and go with a CZ 75, same grip angle as the 1911 so one less thing to teach yourself.

Sig

 

[lb1234]

Glock 17 and Ruger .357 w/4.2 in. barrell

 

[MrSharp]

Another vote for S&W wheel gun, and a Sig 226 9mm, something with a SRT option and Sig night sights, target sites even better.

I have the Sig Platinum Elite in 9mm and love it, my favourite gun.

 

[effschool]

Another vote for the 686, I'd say 6" over the 4.2" though.
And definitely a Sig, the Elite Dark has my nod.

 

[caramel]

The 686 seem to be the one to get in the wheel gun and the Sig seem to be a prefered one, this is starting to be like a good combo... JP.

 

[HeavyT]

Yah, vote for the sig, and the ruger, maybe GP100? Arguably better value than a S&W...
Uh oh, not hating on S&W, just say'n!!

 

[caramel]

Or another combo is a good 45 ACP Sti or Wilson and a Ruger GP-101 in 357 mag 4.2 inch... JP.

 

[Musky Hunter]

G17 or CZ in 9mm are hard to beat...

lots of parts, easy to shoot, and very reliable.

for a wheelgun can't beat S&W 686!

 

[deadownwind]

It's hard to tell someone what the best combo of guns to buy is. If I had $2500 burning a hole in my pocket. I would, without question, buy a Wilson combat 1911.
