I'm getting ready to get a new carry gun. Probably going to be the Springfield XD-S 9mm or S&W M&P Shield in 9mm. Both under $500.

I can believe how stupid expensive revolvers have gotten.

Let me know what you want before you buy. I can probably get you a better price.

But nothing beats a 1911 .45... and yes, I do carry that one from time to time //;D// I don't care to own a glock. Too much $ and tons of other options out there. Never owned one but never cared for them either.

Post by: DOUG on February 13, 2015, 11:53:02 AM: The article is based on guns under $500,

and they probably use list price as the guide,

so Glocks wouldn't be considered if the list is at or above $500.

Agreed. I also bought my Kimber 1911 and M&P9c there.

Good people. Same folks who own Cherokee G&P.

I didn't know that, I will have to swing by and check their selection. I got the itch for a new boom stick

Post by: gint2 on February 13, 2015, 08:07:31 PM: I thought Dawsonville was the same owner as Forsyth Gun & Pawn. Do they own all 3?

Post by: kvom on February 13, 2015, 10:10:11 PM: I dropped into the "general store" at the intersection of Spot Rd. and Hwy 9 recently. They have a decent stock of pistols and ammo, including some used guns. Might be worth a look?

I forgot about that place. A friend of mine just got a new G42 from them and it was around $60 below anyone else.
