I grew up watching action movies and spaghetti western's and western's in general with my old man.

The Dirty Harry gun is sweet looking. Agreed on the 1911 though. I feel like I am hell bent on owning one of those. It'll be awhile before I get comfortable with CC.

With CC though I would prefer a 9mm for sure. Maybe need to get into a habit of having a belt, holster and shirt to cover it up on me if possible.

That's something ill give my friend credit for. He preaches practicing and resetting your shots from your holster just for that reason if you're out and it's a crazy situation unfolding.

I have a Sig P938 for CC which I honestly hardly ever carry concealed.  Need to get in the habit of doing so more often with the way the world is going.  It's a pocket sized 9mm based on the 1911 design.  The 1911 design has been around forever for a reason.

Nice! And agreed! Leaning towards a 1911 and if I can pick-up a reasonably priced 9mm I might go for it for sure. Glock's are nice but I wouldn't mind giving an Echelon a try.

But I will say if I was to reinvest into firearms my preference was always Glocks I've owned a few as for shotguns depends on what you want to use it for. I love sport shooting so my shotgun collection was the most expensive before the boating accident. When considering the AR platform to me they're all the same. I'm not going to war so I don't need a 2k AR platform just make sure it has forward assist they tend to jam up. I personally prefer the AK over the AR they eat everything and can take major abuse. I was really sad when my AK's where lost.....

But I warn you gun math is a lot like chicken math. You'll never just have one and they seem to multiply?

LOL. I hear you! And I can see why people get into it. I honestly got hooked immediately on the target shooting. Every time you hear that "ping" it gets me excited. I have heard the same thing about AK's man. My friend digs those. He swears by them as well and has only heard good things about them. It's something to consider down the road. 

My main goal is to have:

Home defense - Which I have already with the Mossberg 590. 
CC - This will depend, leaning towards a 9mm for sure but I am stuck on either a Glock or something else. 
Target Practice / Home defense - 1911.
Long Range Practice (Maybe hunting down the road) - AR10 or some type of lever action rifle with range and a scope.

Sorry to hear about your boating accident man. That's a bummer. But, yeah, sport shooting is fun as hell. Maybe a year from now I'll get into disc shooting or duck shooting at the range. They offer that.
