I don't think you can go wrong in the short run at least - and possibly the
long run - by buying whatever you see that you like when you see it.  Wife and
I have been on a bit of a buying spree lately, as we feel that the political
winds regarding gun rights are just a little too unpredictable.  While we have
more states enacting some sort of constitutional carry legislation, there's an
equally powerful lobby for restricting 2A right that is tightening the grip on
blue states.  Combine that with the suspicious spate of mass shootings which
seem to fit the desired narrative of the left, I fear we will be seeing federal
restrictions enacted soon.

For the above stated reason we are just grabbing everything we THINK we MIGHT
want down the road to avoid any future attempts at registration and
confiscation.  I am thankful every day that I live in a strongly red state and
hope that the current legislation prohibiting local LEO from cooperating with
federal officials in anti 2A activities is strong enough to protect my rights
as a citizen.
