As has already been said:
Revolver- Python
Semi- Mark23

Both are amazing pieces of machinery, seriously

A nice 1911 like Ed brown. Or les bear,

Or a good bottle of scotch a good cigar, and a nice looking hooker.

STI Tactical's Cabela's has them.

You *might* be able to land a python with 2k if he would be interested in a fine revolver or collector piece. It's about as tactical as you can get for a revolver. The Mark 23 is also a good option, very nice pistols.

Wait... pythons are going for 2k? So I know where 3 of them are at for 1000....

If they're in good shape, buy all three.

Somebody posted a pic of a really slick benelli shotgun in the gun porn thread. I'd probably want a sick 1911 though.



Edit .Benelli supersport 12ga

Yeah, that's mine. The funny thing is that I saw one for sale at frisco gun club a few weeks ago for like $2600 but I bought mine new in like 2006 I think for $1450. I didn't realize the price had gone up so much on them.

And for your brother, I go with a STI 1911, you can get them under $2k all day. A Texas company that makes bad ass guns.

Shouldn't have a problem getting a Python in good shape for less than $2K. Seen plenty of them in Great shape for $1300 to $1800 around here.

Thanks for all of the replies! Now I may have to get two, one for him and one for myself!

There's a Mark 23 hanging out in my local gun shop. If you want to go check it out with me, let me know.

I may take you up on that, I want to shop around for a deal instead of jumping on the first thing I see.

The Python looks like a really sweet revolver, I need to handle one.

You already know what he wants, a .308 AR.

I thought about that but we have a lot of AR's. I kinda want something where people go "WTF is that?". Maybe next weekend we should go do some gun shopping.

They look like some very nice 1911's, I may have to get one for myself!

You really need to know what to look for. Just make sure they don't need any service. Earlier models go for more, later models for less. Original box, manual, finish greatly affect the value.

What about a TDI Vector? Are those good guns? I know they worked well in Resident Evil.

They make a ton of sense on full auto, but I would avoid the semis (they are just an expensive semi automatic pistol caliber carbine). But yes, they work fine and are accurate. For the money however there are many, many better options.

I wrote a 3 part series on them here:
