Please help me select a new gun

Gift card amount?
Budget wanting to spend?

Buy an AR and some 30 round mags before they are banned. Actually, on a $1,000 budget, you can almost buy 2 AR’s.

Bottom of my post. $1k gift card, but willing to spend more

Without anything specific why not get a Ruger Blackhawk .44 mag to blow shite up with?

Honestly I was thinking something like this, something fun to shoot when I do go shoot it.

Now we're talking

A Smith and Wesson 629 would be a good one with that budget.

.44 mag dirty Harry special. Great big kabooms

It would essentially be “free” at this point, so should I just get something I like rather than try and serve a specific function?

You just need to figure out what you want to use it for. If you want it to be recreational and be a self defense handgun, then maybe a 9mm long slide or a 45 may tickle your fancy. But you need to figure out what you want to use it for.

As far as recreational and home defense, a shotgun can be both of those things but I agree that you wouldn't want a long barrel for that. If you want a shotgun for defense, just buy an extra 18" barrel along with a longer one for hunting. But that's really only if you want to use it for hunting.

If you want another handgun that's cool too but you need to figure out what you're gonna use it for. Handguns of different sizes and chamberings are best used for different things.

Do you want a handgun for concealed carry? That would also be an important question to answer.

I vote spend a little more than the guitars and get a FH Five-seveN

A fun gun indeed but super expensive to feed. I'd hate to make this dude go bankrupt just to shoot his Five Seven.

Colt Gold Cup National Match

Sorry, I’d suggest a 1911 or maybe a AR or shotgun, whatever will give you greatest joy.
