Buy recommendations Help me splurge!!! 💸

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!

If youre going to splurge, splurge and get a stealth hunter

That's on my list! Do you have any suggestions on caliber? It'll be for range use only but I'd like to have fun (while staying affordable on ammo?)

If you want to stay affordable ammo get it in 357. Itll feel 38 spl which can usually be had for .60 o .70 cents around, sometimes better if theres sales. And if you want more kick 357 is available under a buck a round as well
