I'm not a big fan of that Beretta, just looks wise. But if looks is all you want, PSA has the .22 version for super cheap. Probably be really fun for plinking.Looks like I will have to sell some pistols on consignment and use the proceeds to buy a Ruger 556.
If I had a bottomless pit of money I'd go for the Beretta ARX-100 or CZ Bren 805.
They look kinda neato.
PSA has the S&W M&P Shield 9mm for $249 until noon EST 1/8/19....pretty sweet price for a great carry pistol...I already have two of 'em..

My Cimarron (made by Pietta) 1851 Navy Engraved .44 cap and ball revolver arrived and she's a beauty.

I also went to Sercal Wholesale and bought a bunch of western/Mexican style gun leather. Four holster and a gun belt in beautiful brown tooled leather came to $122 including shipping. Left to Right: Stoeger SSA .357 mag, Heritage Rough Rider .22LR, Pietta 1858 New Army .44, Cimarron 1851 Navy Engraved .44. I make paper cartridges for the two black powder revolvers for the fun of it. And it keeps me from making too much of a mess with loose powder at the range. Plus I can carry a few cylinders worth of cartridges in a small belt pouch.
Last weekend was our annual local gun show and to further my foray into muzzleloading bought a CVA Hawken .50 rifle with nice double set triggers. I haven't had a muzzleloading long gun since I sold off the Kentucky rifle I grew up shooting when I was strapped for cash in my late 20's. My father gave it to me when I was 14 and I've got big time sellers remorse for letting that one go. Never sell a gun given to you by someone you love.
The Hawken is in good condition but it was left loaded and neglected some, so I've got some cleanup to do. I have to get a new powder drum for it and pull the breech plug to get the ball out. A ball puller and all my strength couldn't get the ball out the front. So it's a bit of a project, but will be sweet when cleaned up. I'll post picture when I'm done. My next purchase is a good leather shooting/possibles bag. I can't wait for spring.
Some like the idea of having a homemade lower with no serial, though I don't understand why. And anti-gunners will point at 3-D printed lowers as the next evil that must be eradicated in their efforts to blame the tool for the actions of the wielder.Seems the interwebs I was on this morning are all aflutter over the release of a 3D printed Glock 17 frame. I'm not sure I get the point of why I'd want one of these vs just buying a 80% frame. I can't help but feel like I'd trust the 80% more.. am I missing something? I haven't gotten into 3D printing so I might be underestimating how well they make things now. I get that I wouldn't have to buy the frame if I printed it, but I'd still have to buy the upper slide and barrel.. and trigger.. and all the other parts. Just seems like a bunch of hype over very little gain..

Just so long as we don't get the ammo hoarding stared all over again, lol! I like shooting .22LR and was pissed when every idiot started storing 50 bricks of the stuff in their basement. All it does is drive up ammo prices.It seems to me, with the number of guns in circulation, the focus should be on ensuring that one has sufficient ammunition.

Voting is a much better way ensure both guns and ammo remain readily available in the future.
Man that is really nice looking. I'm jelly.Very nice!
My son and I went to the range on Saturday to shoot my 56 year old 2nd generation Colt Single Action Army for the first time (first time it has EVER been shot in fact) and we had a great time. The gun shoots great, is very accurate and the look and feel are just perfect IMO.
