Cool little gun, but it eats ammunition like most fully auto toys.Yeah, big mags like that are just willy-waving. Stick with standard-sized ones and learn to change them quickly.

There is some dude on VA Gun Trader who is selling .223 at $1/round.

Combine that with the fact that the FBI couldn't handle the power, and the development of the .40 S&W, and that pretty much relegated the 10 to niche status.Rock Island is putting out a 1911 clone in 10mm.

After looking at the smith &wesson wesson m&p, i think that is my next. I also like that they have it in .22 LR. Can shoot a lot more rounds in. 22 without going broke.

New or used, doesn't matter to me. I have thought about an SKS, 1911 or level action 30-30. I have always liked 1911's, but I'm not sure of the quality for under $500. The SKS or 30-30 would be a pig gun. Any other suggestions?

Save it. Both gun and ammunition prices will go down again. Be patient.

This. 500 right now won't buy much. But in 6-12 months it should. At the ever present risk of R&P, ammo isn't in any real danger (nationally) so you know in a few months that'll stabilize and prices will be sane again. Then 500 bucks can buy a crapton of ammo to shoot with.
