I know what you are saying I am not at that point yet I am getting there I need two more handguns and I will be where you are at looking for a use older Sw it colt good place to be
I just recently got a new one... Honestly, after all these years of chasing what I wanted - there really isn't anything currently out that I want....

I am waiting on a gun I sent in 13 months ago to get customized - to come back to me. But, that's already paid for, and it is just me getting my own gun back...

My search for my first 1911/2011 at 65yrs old has moved into year 2023 and I may just have fun searching.
Have you looked at the Springfield Ronin or their Range Officer Elite? They were my first two 1911 weapons system and yes, they are a little heavy but it helps with the .45 ACP recoil. I'm 73 (74 in May) and it's a great shooting piece.

I just got a Beretta 92FS (my first Beretta) so I'm not really in the market until Mrs. Tinyman gets hers. She's eying the Ruger SR22 and the Beretta 21a --

Have not shot or tested/rented one yet. Next Tuesday my range partner is bringing his new Ronin in so I can check it out. I am looking forward to that session. The Range Officer Elite has been recommended by my LGS for my price range. (1 to 1.5 k+) I like the idea on the Range Officer for me. Trying to find a place locally that rents them.
*I decided to save and project budget for my 1911 search. I may wait to get something new and by the end of the month order something I would be happy with. Decided to spend more now and get something I like and will be happy with.

The RIA 5.0. I may be disappointed when I shoot one, but it's the only possibility that excites me today.

Ok, she got her 2a yesterday. Cleaned and oiled, first range date this morning. 50 rds. 22LR Winchester 1300 fps, only one FTF -- really don't think it was the gun. She really likes it -- now looking for a CC purse, backpack, or something (I really don't know what she wants) but she's my one and only so will get her what she wants.

Not really a nickel's worth of difference between the Ronin and RO Elite -- fire one and you've fired the other. Only real difference is the Ronin is prettier.

I just got my shield plus.
LGS is running a background check right now say it will take about 5 days. But gun is there and waiting.

Now I am starting to plan on my next aqusition 🤠.
I got 3 purchase permits. One is used already. I planned to get 2 guns initially but thought I will have to forgo as prices surprised me a bit. Now that I got most of the planed things I needed, gun, safe and some ammo, I will have a month to get some more mulah for the second gun maybe.

So would welcome a suggestions on what to buy.

My requirements are:
I like my new shield plus 3.1inch barel, but I read that a little longer barel may be a little better. So
Maybe 4 inch barel.

I am a lefty so need to be ambidextrous

Manual safety !? My plus has it, and I really prefer to have it.
10+ end mags. I am in NJ now so limited to 10rnds but if/when I move I may want to get a larger mags.
Night sites. Not a must have as I can probably add them later but a nice or have option.

And most importan thing, preferably priced under $600

Anything fit the bill?

Thanks.

PS.. I am looking at 4" s&w shield plus performance center now, but the price is a bit concerning 😟

The 4" PC Shield Plus is awesome. It is amazingly accurate, and my favorite stock handgun I own. They are around $550, but remember... There is a rebate on the Shield Plus right now

If I am not mistaken the rebate amount is 75.00 for that particular model
I may not get rebates since I have to wait a month between 2 purchases I will get rebate for first one though.

I'm thinking about a 9mm carbine. There's a nice variety out there and it's the first rifle addition I've considered in 20 years, The Springfield Saint Victor and the Henry carbine are the two so far that I'm looking at. The Rugers don't really interest me so far.
