Listener Myles:
Hi Ryan,
As for my budget rebuild this would be my start.
Building on a budget
Ruger redhawk 4.2” $1399
Ruger mkiv 22/45 $449
Canik mc9 prime $619 optic $300 upgrade from mc9
Canik rival dark side with optic $849
Beretta bobcat $549
Total about $3800 so a little ammo to go with it along with holsters.
———————————————————-
Listener Phil:
Hello from the beautiful southwest!
So, I’ve lost my precious gun collection but got $5,000USD to replace it. I go to Buds and find an MR-73 with 4” barrel, $3995.
Thank you for your time, you’ve been great, goodnight everybody!
Well we like options so depending on wind direction, etc maybe this-
Buds again and buy a Colt Commander and a Defender. $900 each. Swap slides and keep the CCO and sell the other one on Gunbroker for about $650.
Buy a S&W .357 4” (19,65 whatever) about $850.
Buy a S&W big bore snub (625,629 whatever) about $900.
So, I’m at $2,150 and GunBroker has the S&W 4506 available for about $1,300 for my hipster want.
Then back to Buds to wrap things up with a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 and a S&W 642 for all my pocket carry needs. $400 and $450, they zero me out.
But really, if I have nothing but $5K in my hand? MR-73 and all the ammo and cool ass holsters I can think up seems pretty irresistible.

Listener Brett:
$5k challenge
https://aimsurplus.com/products/leo-trade-in-glock-19-gen-4-9mm-handgun
$400 Glock 19 , I would pay to have slide cut for optic and mount a Holosun – this would replace the gun I have used in matches for years
I would absolutely have a 357/38 spec revolver with a 3”-4” barrel . I would scour the used market for an older S&W , GP-100 – but this deal is hard to beat
https://palmettostatearmory.com/smith-wesson-model-686-357-magnum-4-stainless-barrel-revolver-164222.html
$630 S&W 686 4”
Same for 44 mag revolver with 4”-6” barrel – I would buy a used older model 29/629 but push come to shove – I love the Mtn Gun below
https://www.guns.com/firearms/p/smith-wesson-629-mountain-gun?i=483422
$1220 S&W 629 Mtn Gun 44 mag 4”
https://palmettostatearmory.com/ruger-mark-iv-22-45-22lr-4-4-10rd-pistol-black-40190.html
$430. Ruger MK4 22LR Threaded optic ready
https://palmettostatearmory.com/ruger-max-9-semi-auto-optic-ready-9mm-12rd-pistol-black-3514.html
$240 Ruger MAX9mm Sub compact pocket gun
For my 45 ACP needs – I would scout patiently for a really nice used Sig P220 / HKUSP/1911 in the$400- $600 or just grab a trade in . The 9mm craze has created some nice opportunities for “other” semi auto calibers at really good deals on the used market – but to make sure i have an entry for this and the slot filled – see link
https://www.guns.com/used-guns/p/sig-sauer-p220-le-trade-in?i=544772
$410 P220 45ACP LEO trade in
I would have a “match” gun of some sort
A PCC in 9mm with brace – a large format pistol
https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ak-v-9mm-moe-sba3-pistol-odg.html
$800 AK 9mm pistol that uses readily available CZ scorpion mags
https://eaacorp.com/product/eaa-girsan-mc1911-s-hunter-10mm/
$740 10mm 1911 long slide hunter
This should put me at $4870
====================================================
Listener Chuck:
I think we all, if we’ve been at this for any great length of time,
probably have a gun accumulation/”collection” that reflects changing
interests and tastes over time. In other words, a bunch of safe queens
we probably wouldn’t buy again. I do think about this sometimes, if I
had it to do over again, what would I do now?
So, Wife and I and the dog come back from some where and find that the
house has burned to the ground. Total loss. What to replace, what to get?
1) Replace the carry gun ASAP. In this case a .38 snub. One guy here
usually has a Taurus 856 in his display. $340 last I looked. Order a
basic AIWB holster (Galco Stow-n-go) and a couple Safariland
speedloaders from Midway. It’ll probably be here by the time the gun is
out of our state’s gun purgatory. Go to the farm store and pick up some
.38 Special. Maybe $100 all told on the Midway order and the ammo.
Order out some proper social purposes ammo. So, ~$500 total.
2) A spare. If I got a 3″ gun in step 1, get a snub, and a pocket
holster. And Vice-versa. Add my preferred kydex AIWB holster, say
another $75(ish). $425-ish total on this.
3) Glock 26. Gen 3 to 5, doesn’t matter. The other carry gun I
sometimes carry. Midway has them for $539 at this instant. Get enough
extra mags to fill out $600 total. Holster for same, say another $50.
Mag carrier from Magholder, $27.
Stuff adds up fast. We’re up to $1600, guns plus necessary supplies.
Basic needs are met, so we can look at other things.
4) Glock 19 (again, Gen 3 and up, doesn’t matter), or possibly Ruger’s
new clone of it. Plus a fistfull of magazines (which are also usable in
the G26), and a decent holster. Gun (gen3) is $499 on Midway. Holster
and mags get you up to about $600.
5) .22 plinker. Lets say, Ruger Super Wrangler, $279. Why this, and
not a automatic? I can shoot CB caps.
6) a “Tree-fiddy-seven” to replace the 19-4 lost in the fire. Oh, boy.
Set aside $700, and keep an eye on the used case.
7) not a handgun — Rossi R92 lever action in .357, to go with the .357
wheelgun. ~$800, last I looked.
8) Replace reloading equipment. Lee turret press, die set, etc. Figure
(guessing) ~$500, plus consumables.
I think we’re up to about four grand with all this. Depending on what’s
actually left…
9) I might add a deep concealment pocket .380 class gun that’s not an
LCP. Glock 42 or Kahr, plus DeSantis Nemesis holster and enough ammo to
prove the gun.

Longtime Listener Rick C (Who we havent ever got an entry from, but big shout out to ALL the longtime listeners!)
Hi Ryan and all,
I submitted the original suggestion for this topic to Ryan on youtube.
I’ve been shooting recreationally for 45 years. My current small collection is a mix of inherited pieces and stuff randomly bought over the years with no real plan.
If I was rebuilding fresh with $5000 now I’d get:
(all new, current models, Gunbroker prices)
_________
$4785
The rest on extra mags.
I thought about maybe a 44 mag like a Smith 29, but I just don’t enjoy heavy recoil anymore. Thus the 10mm.
Love the show. I’ve been a listener from the beginning.
