Need Help. Which One?

[Smith]

I've got about $500 burning a hole in my pocket and am indecisive. I've got a couple of options and I need you help to decide. Which one should I get.

My first handgun was a PJK-9HP (Hi-power clone) that I loved, but I've always wanted a 1911. I'll probably end up with both, but it may take a while. Help!

BTW -I understand that I sound like a woman trying to decide between shoes (drives me crazy!), so I apologize in advance? HEHE

A-hem, I resent that.

I'd go with the 1911 personally.

I voted 1911, but if the cost of ammo is going to be a consideration, go for the 9mm Hi-Power.

im looking for a RIA 1911 myself so my votes for that,but I already have a couple 9mm in my range bag.if you have a 9mm now get the 1911,if not get a 9mm.the 9mm is a great,cheap,fun gun to shoot!!!

You've got (or had, I'm not sure from your post) a Hi Power, now get a 1911. You'll have (or have had?) two classic designs. Yes, the 9mm is cheaper to shoot, but the .45, to me, is like a different breed of hound, try something different. You'll spend the cost of a couple of cups of coffee extra for the .45's at a range session.

A Hi-Power is hard-to-beat for inexpensive, satisfying plinking. You can always get a nice 1911 later when the budget opens up.

I had to go for the 9mm Hi-Power. But 1911s are fun too.

I voted for the 1911, come to the light my son.

Bingo.

The Hi Power is a classic design and was probably the most popular gov't issue gun ever.

Of course I'm biased here.

Wait a second....

A High-Power doesn't have a revolving cylinder!?

He's got one he's trying to sale!

Oh, Hi POWER. I thought he meant High Standard.

Nevermind.....

Decided to go against the grain and get the .40 S&W Hi-Power. Especially after reading some info from Bill Laughridge at C&S. With the .40 platform I can always switch out barrels and go between .357 SIG, 9mm, or .40 S&W all while maintaining the Hi-Power greatness.

Here is what $4000 and C&S can do with a .40 Hi-Power.

I see your budget wasn't part of the decision process:up:

Actually it was. I found a FN HP 40 for $439. After all the transfer and such it will be about $480.
