I have just sold a couple of rifles so I have some money to spend. Looking for a new pistol. I do currently own a lot of different makes and calibers. Any suggestions on what to buy?
Got the itch for another pistol

What role are you looking to fill? Conceal pistol or full size?

How bout a nice, vintage .22 target pistol? Just got this 1975 High Standard Victor w/Horton grip.

Probably a carry piece. I have a 3" & 4" Kimber, 2 Beretta storms, S&W 686+, HK 45c, HK vp9, Walter PPs M2, Ruger sp101, and a few more. Thinking about a Sig. The only Sig I have is a P220
Super Match w/ 5 1/4" barrel. Not a carry piece. I have been looking at the Sig P220 Stainless Elite carry and the P320 RX both full size and compact.

Nice. I have a Smith Mdl. 41 that I shoot bullseye with
I got converted to a Glock fan boy by the 43, so I would recommend that to anyone. I can't say anything bad about sig's so that's a solid choice as well. My current itch is red dot equipped pistols. I have yet to own one but I'm working on that. So you could always look at modifying one of your current guns instead and add a red dot.

The Sig P320RX comes with a red dot. They are on back order at The Gun Center.

I read there has been a good deal on S&W Shields. It's a nice small carry piece. I see more and more 1911's in every gun store. Sig has reintroduced the 225? their single stack 9mm? "J" frames are always good, every body should have a few.
The one thing I'm hesitant about those are the red dot itself. I read mix reviews on them. I guess they aren't compatible with any other red dot. With that said I like all the features of the ROMEO and hope they work out the bugs because I think that's the next generation of pistol red dot optics.

I will have to look at the CZ P10c . have not even considered the CZ.

Well I do have S&W 460 xvr with an 8 3/8 barrel.
Looks what's new... EXCLUSIVE: A 550 Round First Look at the HK VP9SK Pistol with Daniel Shaw
That's a sharp gun. I've never fired a HK but when ever I pick up one the grip angle seems wrong for me.

I vote for the sig 320 in some version or the Springfield xd or xdm. I really liked those guns. I love my 3" xd in 9mm and I shoot great with it.

Do you have a Remington 1858 in 44 Beals? Buffalo Bill Cody used one. While Army was 44 Beals. I think the Navy was 36 or 38 caliber. Uberti is making reproductions that are exact; and they are beautiful and cost about $400 at Gander, Sportsmans Guide, etc. All the details are there - octagonal barrel, brass trigger guard, etc.

Probably more interested in a carry piece.
My normal non coat weather EDC's (in rotation, and as backup) are my SP101 .357 / Shield 9mm / Shield 45. For shits and grins when I have almost no means to conceal, I picked up an NAA Guardian 32. Even with a 10 round extended mag it is as small as a pack of smokes. I'm still on the lookout for an NAA Guardian 380 as well. Rugged, small, stainless, and inexpensive. Both can accept their 10 round mags +1 in the pipe.

+1 on Sig P225-A1. It is similar to your P220 but a bit thinner and everything seems better. A non-tupperware single stack 9mm DA/SA that conceals well, sweet trigger, short reset, soft shooter, real tack driver. I swear our LGS had an orgasm and giggled when he was handling and dry firing it. It is not cheap but Damn, now I think I really need another one, ah.... yeah... for the wife, yeah, mothers day is coming up.

Thanks for the suggestion on the P225 A1. I will look for it when I go down to the Gun Center this weekend. Got a lot to look at.
I have the P30sk, It's the same gun just hammer fired. Love it! I call it my "Little Piggy"

I think I prefer hammer fired over striker fired. I own both but I find myself carrying the hammer types more. Not sure why.
There's nothing wrong with having a preference.

I have only 2 striker fired. A HK VP9 and a Walther PPSM2

I guess I was just saying that's my next piece. LOL I have wanted a Remington 1858 for quite some time in 44 Beals. And it's not like the Uberti is a trillion dollars - I just never get around to getting one. This summer for sure though. The conundrum is there are a few people making it. I like Uberti but Pietta looks really nice too. One thing I read though - the Remington needed the firing pin and inside of the frame wiped down every 3 or 4 cylinders; even if you use TC Bore Butter. That kind of drives me to thinking maybe a Colt 1860 Army is a better choice? So instead of the famous sidearm of Buffalo Bill, you are picking the sidearm of John Wesley Hardin. Such a conundrum. And I noticed last time at Gander that Pietta also makes the Colt 1851 Navy in 44 Beals; though that surprised me because I had always though the Navy was 36.
