You could easily save a couple hundred from that, to spend later on at least half of a very good red dot (Aimpoint won't be at any risk of banning/civil suits in the near term, LPVOs and chink red dots keep on improving), by going with a BCM gun. Still going to have a very well built AR.

A fine choice. Daniel Defense has an excellent reputation for both their reliability and their cold hammer forged barrels, which should ensure that you won't risk outshooting your rifle in the foreseeable future. Personally, i would have recommended a LE6920 (not CR6920) or AR15A4, both by Colt. While the latter is somewhat less abundant these days, the former is still on the shelves. The AR15A4 is in my personal opinion, the single best firearm produced by nu-colt, although it's 20'' configuration might not be exactly what you are looking for in a rifle for a suburban home environment. One should be aware however, that Colt has recently had a recall on a batch of their AR15A4's for quality control issues.
While the Mossberg might just be the most distinguished manual-action shotgun ever to have existed on this earth, i would not recommend a pump action for someone someone without some prior experience. Short-stroking the firearm is very common for novice shooters. I would instead recommend you a shotgun of semiautomatic nature not only to eliminate the risk of shortstroking, but also to soften recoil, be that the Benelli M4, or the Beretta 1301. Avoid anything made in Turkey like a tranny on an online dating service.
Pistols are, as has been stated multiple times already, much more a matter of personal taste than rifles. Getting to personally experiment with gripping and shooting with various different pistols and comparing them to each other is paramount. While i believe the aforementioned Glock 45 is a fine choice by itself, i would recommend something somewhat larger for a full-size pistol in order to attain some mass for improved recoil mitigation. While perhaps subjective, i personally find heavier pistols more comfortable to shoot and their recoil easier to manage. I do however believe that the G45 would be a good choice for a more compact carry weapon.

Yeah get this stuff if you can afford it. As others have said you may want to go down a few hundred bucks on the AR and get a BCM or other quality brand and spend the money on a good optic(don't buy this shit on amazon).
Retards will shit talk the shield plus because "muh polymer subcompact", but it offers great concealability for any size person and you can use 13 or 10 round mags depending on how comfortable you are with having a longer grip. The weight reduction and lack of bulge are great too. Really any of the popular subcompact are good. The shield plus is my personal favorite.
The way things are going I would not recommend a 5-6 round revolver for CC. Especially if you plan on going anywhere near a city where you may need to engage more than one attacker.

What you have here is great, though personally I'd recommend a Glock 19 for a compact pistol if you've already got a Glock 45(the slides are interchangeable on those frames iirc). Also, I'm late to the party but you're going to need sights on that rifle. Unironically, as someone who has a similar build to a DDM4V7 you'll be leagues ahead of other "my first AR" guys. I'd recommend either the basic bitch Magpul MBUS sights or if you want something more durable a set of Magpul MBUS pros will do you great.
On an aside, with how red dots are now, you could no shit go as cheap as a 200 dollar Holosun or as expensive as a 340 dollar Aimpoint Pro. If you do get into red dots, make sure you don't have some kind of astigmatism.
Don't forget that the adjustable backstraps that modify the grip angles *do* exist on the Glock gen 5 models. I'm not sure about gen 4s and prior but I know I put the beaverton backstrap on mine because I went from a 1911 to a Glock 19 and didn't like the grip.

PSA is fine to buy from as is CheaperThanDirt.com. PSA is a manufacturer and general gun store. Sometimes they have decent sales on non-PSA firearms.
Also, the PSA brand firearm hate is from gun autists.

For a shotgun? Can't go wrong with a good Italian semi auto, specifically the Beretta 1301.

I dont think ive ever found something on CTD that i didnt easily find somewhere else for cheaper.
Brownell's, MidwayUSA, Sportsman's Warehouse, even OpticsPlanet is better than CTD.
Ebay is also still good for some stuff. Sights, (brand name) weapon lights, serviceable babby's first $15 holster, other accessories.
I'm personally not a fan of the Glock factory sights, and recommend replacing with TruGlo TFX Pro.

For the rifle he needs a .950 jdj
for the shotgun a Pancor Jackhammer
Pistol 1/primary carry Calico Liberty
Pistol 2/carry backup .460 S&W snub nose

An AR is a fine all-around rifle. AR pistols are meme guns for the most part unless you are doing something autistically specific. ATF will let you turn a pistol into a rifle, but not the other way around. If you are going to want to do that, buy a stripped lower and doccument building it as a pistol first. Go for one chambered in 5.56. I have all the basics and now collect and shoot meme guns/calibers, stick to what's common until you have the basics in hand. The .357 sig/5.7x28/.429DE just fucking DISAPPEARS when the common stuff is in high enough demand.
For a shotgun, I recommend an autoloader for a first. easier to learn. Pump actions are great but there's a bigger learning curve and so much more can go wrong operating it in a high stress environment. Go with a .12GA and avoid the weird turkish stuff. I have a black aces bullpup shotgun and it has functioned fine so far but I'm going for the mossberg or the benelli if i need to use a shotgun off the range. Also pistol grip only shotguns, especially things like the mossberg shockwave, are meme guns for the same reason as AR pistols.
First pistol, I'm going to buck some advice trends here and recommend something with an external hammer like a CZ-75 or a Beretta 92. A larger pistol is more likely to be a range toy only and it's a good platform for learning pistol fundamentals. I can't recommend a revolver because I'm having a hard as fuck time consistently finding .357/.38 special.
The second pistol I recommend is a compact/sub compact striker fired pistol. Perfectly fine for carry purposes and no hammer to snag when drawing or uncomfortably press into you if you sit wrong or if the holster shifts.

I built a pistol so that I could not pin the muzzle device on a 14.5 inch barrel to keep the options open for suppressors. Is this autistic?

Very Controversial take inbound: I can't blame people for pistol builds, taking advantage of loopholes within BS NFA laws are very beautiful. But, with our current politics it wouldn't be out of the realm of reality for pistol braces to get outright banned and turn millions of Law-Abiding citizens into criminals overnight like they did with bump stocks.
I see SBR tax stamps as future proofing, once you get one you won't ever have to worry about Pistol Brace/SBR Laws. Also with Current Eform times, people are getting Form 1's back within 30-60 days.
As much as I would love to condone Illegal SBR's, the felony risk isn't worth it. Just ask Randy Weaver.. (God Rest his soul)

1. yes.
2. You're ignoring the word after "autistically" which is "specific". Which is what you have admitted to. If you're going into the NFA tax stamp realm SBR your lower and use a real stock.

I'll give you my personal opinions on these.
Daniel Defense is top notch but I wouldn't say a beginner noob should drop the money on them. You can buy parts and build a very good quality budget AR if you start off with a blem Aero M4E1 lower and a blem BCM upper. Stag also has good and affordable lowers under $100 and you can build from there.
For the shotgun, the 590 is like a military/LE variant of the Mossberg 500, it's all the same gun with different features. You can get a basic 500 for less and buy parts to upgrade it into the way you want it. I personally bought a 500 for about $350 new back in 2018 and it had a pre drilled/tapped receiver and I got an ATI outdoors saddle and an ATI 6 position stock, I also threw on the 7 3/4" action slide tube/nut and a Magpul forend w/ MVG. I have an 18.5" security barrel.
Pistols: Okay, Glocks are good guns, but they're not the best and it boils down to opinion. There are way better guns out there though. I find Glock triggers for the most part to feel like you're wiping your ass with a sheet of sand paper.
If you want a full size, I would personally try out the Walther PDP full size frame, IWI Jericho 941 and the CZ 75. My first pistol was the Walther PDP full size 4.5" barrel and it's my main gun for CCW. I am obviously retarded for edc'ing a full size but I feel 150% confident whenever I use my PDP because of how much time and the amount of ammo I put through it. I love the trigger pull, Walther makes very good stock triggers and I'll stand behind it and I'll die on this hill. All PDP slides regardless of frame or barrel size come pre-milled to accept optics, you can request one free mounting plate from Walther online once you buy one and have it in your possession. The PDP can also use almost all parts from the Walther PPQ. The full size PDP frame needs full size mags while the compact frame needs compact mags, which are the same mags used for the Canik TP9 and the PPQ.
The CZ 75 is a nice steel frame hammer fired pistol and the Jericho 941 is a Jewish copy of it so they're literally the exact same. I wouldn't use hammer fired guns for CCW because problems arise. The CZ has weight to it since it's steel which also means low recoil, I love my Shadow 2 and it's my favorite gun so far.

Compact guns are mostly used for CCW since they're small and easily concealable. For when I need to wear summer/lightweight clothing I appendix carry a Glock 43x. I chose the 43x because it was the only compact that could comfortably fit my hand. I said before that Glock triggers aren't great and well my 43x isn't no better but it has its purpose. Other options are CZ compact polymer frame pistols for CCW or the Hellcat, P365 and the M&P. Walther has a pistol called the CCP (Concealed Carry Pistol) which is supposedly designed for CCW but I haven't held one myself. The Glock 19 is also popular for CCW. If you want a compact for CCW I would find some cool cops and ask what they carry off duty.
One last thing is CCW. You need to be aware of the carry laws of each state because they are drastically different. Vermont has allowed everyone to openly or conceal carry a gun without a permit for almost 250 years while states like Hawaii will not issue you a concealed carry permit whatsoever. USCCA is a great online resource regarding carry laws and permit reciprocity. Also, for defensive ammo I love Hornady Critical Defense 115gr 9mm. It's legally "not a hollow point" while it does what a hollow point usually does.

What's the difference again between the 43 and the 43x? I know I read an explanation once but I don't think it stuck. I have an 80% G43 that I like a lot. (though now I'm going to have to get it serialized because Maryland's ruling party hates fun)

43x is like the 43 but it has an extended grip, thicker beaver tail and front slide serrations. The 43x has a 10 round capacity over the 43, mags cannot be interchanged but they do remain single stack because S L I M.
Also I feel sorry for you, Maryland doesn't seem as bad as I originally thought, my state is worse. I only found out yesterday in Frederick that there's no NFA restrictions there. If you're near PA, just move to PA in the middle of one of the rural counties outside of the main towns and walk into the courthouse and get an LTC in 5 minutes.

Make sure to get #4 buck for that mossberg.
Good choice in handguns but again, go with what's comfortable though, Security 9 and the older S&Ws are comfortable to me for instance. The new Gen 5 Glocks (like the Glock 45) though are absolutely fantastic for a new shooter.
