    Default what to get???

    okay... so i will possibly have a $1000.00 to spend in a few days, and i've always wanted a kimber/springfield 1911, and i've always wanted an AR-15, but i cant decide what to get. one reason i'm getting another gun with the money, is because i know i'll be able to sell it, if i need the cash.the only thing is, i havnt seen the AR's going too fast lately.

    so my question is....... AR-15 (probably dpms bull sweet 16), Kimber custom II, or Springfield Mil spec.

    That would depend on what you have in the closet. Any purpose for the weapon or just a plinker? Pistols seem to be selling faster than rifles.

    Buy used, buy smart. If AR's aren't selling, maybe now is the time to try to get a deal.

    i would be using it for plinking, and prairie dog/cyotie hunting in wyoming, if i got an AR. the only thing with a kimber is they are so damn expensive to shoot, but they are just so damn beautiful lol. if i do get an AR i'm gonna get a glock or XD a week or two later. what are your guys' thoughts on being able to sell an AR if i decide i want a kimber?

    Get an AR. They are more prone to stupid laws as the 1911 wont be as easily affected if the .gov decides to be fools.

    As another already stated it depends on what you already have. If this is a start to a collection rifle beats pistol hands down every time. You also said you're going to pick up an XD or glock later down the road anyway. get the AR! No brainer! LOL
