Buy recommendations With the coming supreme court decision, I'm thinking about pistols.

Years ago, my license was up for renewal. While waiting for my renewal, my license expired. It only took 9 months, lol.

Unfortunately during that time, the OIC happened, and I missed out on all the cool pistol sales.

What with not being able to buy anything since then, I haven't really given attention to the world of new things. I understand we're on the glock Gen 6 now? Used to have a Gen 4. Loved it.

Maybe the supreme court bails us out, all this nonsense goes away and we can go shopping again. So what's new in the world of pistol? I have hope that sometime soon I'll be able to buy something, what should I be putting money aside for?

Anything a with a 10 or less capacity, I hate knowing I'm wasting space with pinned mags.

If anything happens, I'll be buying the tiger striped gold desert eagle 50AE I talked myself out of in like 2016.

But noooooo I had to be "responsible"

i was in paralysis between an x-frame s&w 500, or a BFR 45-70. Couldn't decide, got neither. yay.

Knowing what I know now, I would have went with the s&w 500

The BFR is just not a good time to shoot, single action, unwieldy compared to the 500 in terms of forward weight and the only redeeming factor for the BFR is you're shooting 45-70 gummint

yeah. I never really liked single actions. But the BFR is just cool. Especially if you top it with a nice burris pistol scope or something. A Super Redhawk was also in consideration, the 454 is no 500 but it's no slouch either
