If I I have a grand to blow on 2 guns, what should I get?
I'm getting a Ruger Security 9mm for a pistol.....my minds made up there. .
So what "bigger" gun should I get? AR 15? 9? 10? I really dont know much about the differences of any of those.
Check out buds gun shop dot com. Like others already mentioned, you can get an S&W sport 2 or Ruger AR15 for around $500. They have sales specials and whatnot, they ship to your local ffl/gun/pawn shop where you complete transfer. Lot of options on that site well within your budget.
From left to right in image below:
Ar10- .308 civi variant of a nato round 7.62x51mm used for heavier, longer range applications. Also pretty common hunting round. $$$
Ar15- .223 civilian variant of standard nato rifle round 5.56x45mm. $$
Ar9- 9mm handgun cartridge like your pistol. $
