Thinking about getting this pistol for $7000+

Talk me into or out of it
>>
>>30546660
There are better things to do with 7 grand but you already know that.

If you have $7,000 and you're sitting around looking for neat/pretty things to buy, at least this thing is something useful. Go for it.
>>
>>30546660
if you have the money, why not, faggot?
>>
get a semi-auto SAW instead
or a CNC machine
>>
>>30546686
>>30546677
The thing is I make 75k a year, so it's not like I just have the money.

But if I really wanted it, I could manage.

You guys think it's worth me eating spaghetti for the next 3 months?
>>
>>30546700
not op but
>semi auto saw

why? literally why?

To shoot it.

>>30546708
Where the fuck do you live that 75k a year is not enough to just drop 7 grand on something that you want?

If I made 75k a year, I'd have tens of thousands in savings.

Here in Alabama you can live comfortably on 30k a year.
>>
>>30546708
> Wilson combat
> 7,000$
I'll tell you my the answer in 15 different languages.

"No"
>>
>>30546752
You can score some good ones for around $5K if you go to industrial auctions or local classifieds.
>>
>>30546757
Because taxes make my income 75/2 basically.

That's 37 left.

Rent takes 12 per year.

Leaves 25k.

Bills and other expenses are 10-15k, for things like gas, food, entertainment, car insurance, electric, car payment, list goes on and on.

Leaves me with around 10k per year on spending money. If 7-8k goes on this pistol then I'm down to 2-3k.
>>
>>30546810
That sounds beyond fucked up. Where do you live that takes around half your income in just taxes?
>>
>>30546757
I was going to make a comment about 75k not being much, but then you mentioned Alabama. In big cities like LA or NYC 75k is just above just making it, in a place like Hawaii you are borderline poverty level.
>>
>>30546838
Taxes are around half of everyone's income. Take a moment and add up all forms of taxation. Income tax, federal tax, state tax, property tax, sales tax, capital gains, etc...

Our government makes taxes complicated so that we won't realize they're robbing us all blind.

Tax comes out to roughly 50% of the average persons income.
>>
>>30546868
which, funnily enough, was considered "inappropriately high" as a serf's tax from feudalism.
>>
>>30546660
if you want to spend 7K on a weapon you don't want to shoot with, because it might damage, sure go ahead
>>
>>30546810
75k before taxes, that explains it.
>>
>>30546965
I'm not sure what you mean. When someone states their income they always say the before tax amount.

You must be some 15 year old eating a Red Baron pizza in their moms basement.
>>
>>30546991
Nope. I'm a married business owner.

Around where I live people usually say how much they make after taxes, unless they are referring to their hourly wage.
>>
>>30546660
That is a beautiful pistol and if you must own it, go for it. I have a bit of an impulsive "I need this or I'll never forget about it" attitude so I feel your pain. But with that being said, 7k is pretty expensive for one pistol. Maybe stock up on cheap AR's that you can profit off of when there is another scare which I'm sure is imminent, you'll easily double your profit.
>>
>>30546660
Does it come with a blowjob every week?
>>
>>30546660
If you really had 7k to blow on a novelty pistol, you wouldn't go and ask for affirmation
So you aren't going to buy it nor did you ever intend to
>>
>>30547019
>bullshit, the post
Nobody says "I make 80K... AFTER TAXES" in the grown-up world.

If you ever talk about salary (which you don't) you talk about gross, because it's a set number that's not fucked up by taxes, medical, benefits, and then tax refunds.

Because taxes, insurance, mortgage, etc. are all just bills. You don't enumerate all your bills to people in everyday speech. That's what autists and poorfgs do because they think that gives them personality.
>>
>>30546727
This!

>>30547019
>>30548268
Nope I heard the "after taxes" bit when I lived in Missouri.
>>
if you want to cuddle a Wilson Combat get a Beretta 92G from Wilson and save a bunch of cash.
>>
>>30548268
>Nobody says "I make 80K... AFTER TAXES" in the grown-up world.

a lot of people say that, actually. I think you might be the autistic one here.
>>
>>30548349
While "nobody" might be a bit of an overstatement, that guy is mostly right. People who have high salaries usually talk gross wages. The only people who have good incomes and talk net wages are small business owners who don't pay themselves a salary. Because for them their gross is sales and saying I make 1.2mil when they take home 80k would be silly.

But in the adult world of salaries nobody talks net.
>>
It's sexy, but not that sexy
>>
>>30546660
As your lawyer , I advise you not to buy this!
>>
>>30546708
Get a real 1911, get a Colt.
>>
>>30546660
well lets see, their base models cost like 1500-2500.

so you are basically paying 4 grand for the following items: ugly lifeless laser engraving, lame company logo on slide, ugly mismatched color trigger.

and in the end, you still have a pistol that you'll have to take to the gunsmith to get it to feed hollowpoints reliably
>>
>>30546660
you're not old enough to make your own decisions or you wouldn't be asking the children on K
don't buy it
>>
>>30546660

For that money i'd get a Colt or something better than a fucking Wilson Combat.

You're deluded in a consumerist urge
>>

>Live in Hawaii
>Growing up, parents used to make around 80,000 dollars a year
>Grew up eating spaghetti and ramen

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug. Your explanation of Hawaii just fit my childhood to a freaking T.
