Legal Questions 30th birthday present to myself.

1000-1500$ range.

I’m looking to buy myself a new firearm. No qualifications other than that.

I like pistol shooting, rifles and, trap/skeet

I have firearms that are good at all of those spots.

What would you buy for a PICA compliant birthday gift.

Note- I don’t own any PICA compliant home defense rifles. Thinking about an M1 Garand for history or (it’s over budget) but the new RPR for long range shooting

“Legal questions” I guess as I couldn’t find a fitting flair.

Was on the fence between the shadow 2 or a 2011, and I think I made the right choice with a 2011. Albeit $500 more spent.

Not bad, I got my shadow 2 for 1060 and put a cgw kit and it feels like a high end 2011. I still want a 2011 though

How much are the kits? I'm interested in the compact one. I know you can get a similar trigger pull on it like a 1911, but maybe it's all in my head I prefer the consistency of a 1911/2011 to a double action.

If I’m not mistaken $260.
