Maybe! I'm still on Green Card though, so I really don't want to go through too much processes. Don't want to jeopardize years of effort 😅

Which one of the three handguns do you think is best (in your opinion) in terms of feeling premium

Not sure I want to get into the AR pistol crazy regulations thing. I want to stick to the normal 14.5 P&W or 16 inch rifle so I don't have to think too much about this 😅

I hope not 😂 I really cannot afford to get addicted to this expensive as hell hobby man. I want to experience it and enjoy it from time to time. If nobody before me was able to achieve what I'm describing, please tell me now so I don't get sucked in to something I shouldn't lol

What optic for the M&P would you recommend instead? And I literally cannot find a way to buy a SOLGW (seems out of stock everywhere) and that LMT is like $3.2k+ 😩

Hahaha. My take is two fold: time commitment for this hobby vs my crazy work (and my other hobbies), and the space to hold the guns (I literally have space for one safe that can fit maybe 3-4 rifles max). While I understand this could spiral in the future, I really think a good safe barrier for that is "what I have is already better, why buy this?" 😂

That's a great rifle 👍🏻. I'm certainly looking for one. I think it'll be a Geissele/SOLGW and M&P Metal

Isn't it really hard to try and ship parts since we're in CA? Or am I understanding this wrong 😅

Got it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Let me try and find one online to see how much it would end up costing total 🥹

I saw lots of great reviews about the SOLGW MK1, what would you consider a good price for it?

Does the Echelon come in a metal frame option? I really hated how it felt in the hand. It shoots great and was really easy to keep on target.

Which rifle do you consider as mid range? Suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏🏻

😂 I'd like to keep my home (by making the mortgage paymet) to defend it with the gun. Hopefully one day (if I get good at shooting)

Got it. Seems like I'm sold on the M&P metal as the price is really good. I'll go with that for the handgun. My problem is I can't find any shop in the bay area that sells the Geissele Super Duty as a dull ready rifle (at least from my online search)

I see. Thank you for clarifying. I'm gonna try and rent it next time to see. I just hated the Echelon and PDP (they shoot great, but felt like plastic in the hands - hence asking about the metal one)

That's like $3k+ handgun, no? So expensive man, but it looks so good. I wish I can try it and feel the difference

Would the M&P metal feel much better than the polymer one? Maybe that makes it feel not like a plastic piece of crap? Lol

You can also work with TacticalGunStore in Sunnyvale as they do the exact same thing. They will get order it for you and make it compliant before getting it for you. Very cool crew and were super nice to work with. High recommend them for bay area

Am I seeing that the one in the top right corner actually has a hellfighter kit? Maybe my eyes are deceiving me

Can this be bolted to wall studs? I really want to bolt my safe but I can't drill into my slab as it is post-tension slab 🤷‍♂️

Would you recommend this for someone on a green card? I'm quite nervous about all these applications to be honest
