I'm so torn right now!

That's pretty high for a Mossberg 500, unless it's all outfitted with tactical-plastical stuff. I bought mine used for $125 this year. (Admittedly that's a bit low, but you can find them under $200 all day long if you look around a bit.)

That was the pursuader ( sp ) model and the cheapest I've seen for mossbergs. The only option I've found under 275 is the new England pardner knock off.

It's a limit for a year minimum. If I don't ill never be able to squeeze an AR into the mix

Sounds like a good deal on the Sig, with the right ammo it would make an O.K. EDC. I think the 238 is a fine handgun. They shoot well and are very concealable. The Springfield is good also, just a bit bulky for a sub compact 9mm, IMO. The price for the Mossberg is fair, as I would assume it is new. good luck with your decision.

Go with your dreams, you said it.

Hunting luckily expands my needs re: calibers/actions!

[rogerw]

I would go with the springfield. The p238 is single action gun. You lay not have time to pull the hammer back. Or you could walk around with the hammer back and the
safety on.

Go here:

Yankee Artifacts

Their stock is a little low right now, but there's ONE with a 29" barrel for $159.

There's a Mossberg 500A (almost exactly like mine) with an 18" barrel for $175. And there's a "tactical plastical" one for sale for $189.

Only one gun.I would pick the Xd sub 9mm. More rounds it is bigger. Good for carry and home. But since you are getting a shotty the 380 would be good for carry. So it is a hard choice the Sig p238 is sweet. I have a G23 and Colt Mustang. Similar sizes. I will carry the G23 more than the Mustang. I like to have round could. The Sigs may go down in price when the Mustangs come out again. Or the Mustangs maybe cheaper?? Hard choice.
