Help me splurge!!! 💸

[u/NostalgicAlee]

Hey guys - it finally looks like I'll have my PAL/RPAL in hand this week based on the update on my RCMP Profile.

I've been to a store to browse around but it's pretty overwhelming especially as someone new in the hobby.

I do want to stock up on a few different types, I know I'll be in the range quite a bit and think they're just beautiful in general.

I've also been looking at a lot of the reviews here on Reddit but I'm looking to see if I could get some consolidated feedback from this community before I "pull the trigger" 😫 on these purchases. Here's what I'm considering:

1) EGE Panzer M4 Speed Pro (12GA Semi)

2) Federation Firearms GK12 Gatekeeper Pump (12GA Pump)

3) Adler Arms RF224 (11.7")

4) Derya TM22 (18 or 16") - **I've seen quite a bit of mixed reviews on these. Also not sure if I should just wait for 18" to be in stock.

5) ATI SKS w Folding Stock

6) S&W 1854 Stealth Hunter - **Not sure what caliber/ammo I should go for

let me know your thoughts!

One of the most common things you'll see on this sub are warnings about Turkish guns. The quality is garbage.

If you truly want to splurge, skip the first two and get a real Benelli M4 and a decent pump, like a Mossberg 590 or Benelli Supernova.

Alternatively, you can get an M2 and Maverick 88 if you don't want to spend that much. Both are incredibly capable guns that will be miles better than anything from Turkey.

Buy once, cry once.

I have a Canuck operator elite Canadian company, Turkish made But it’s one of the only benelli m4 clones where 95% of benelli parts are interchangeable. I sent a box of slugs through it to break it in and now has no problem ejecting target load full mag drop style. My friend has an ATA M4 clone and it jams almost every round …..terrible $350 gun Operator elites run about $800

Also have a maverick 88 defense which has yet to fail/misfire
