Interestingly yes, I've been on this "evil black gun" kick lately. I never had much of an interest in them until about 6 months ago. I bought one and then decided I needed to build one.

I’ve been bitten by the 1905 32-20 bug lately.

Having realized that the infamous Glock 17 is now about 40 years old.

It is very possible that I end up buying one.

As functional weapons I have always respected them. Also I have found them very accurate too.

But aesthetically speaking I have never found them "pleasing" to my eyes.

But I suppose they are a "classic" now. So...

Well, Webley.455 check. And it's younger sibling in .38 too.

About the Lahti... Still working on it. I passed a Model 40 Swedish Husqvarna. Because I wanted a "true" L-35. I just hope it wasn't a mistake.

I have a .38 S&W Enfield Tanker model, with the bobbed hammer so it can only be shot double action. Somebody chromed or nickeled it but that's OK for a shooter. I haven't fired it yet. I need to see if I can find some .38/200 grain loads.

For what it's worth, a lot more Swedish L-40s were made or brought into this country than Finnish L-35s. I grew up in an area with a lot of people of Finnish heritage and then studied Finnish history, including about the Winter War, so I held out until I could find a Finnish Lahti.

1 I have an Enfield too, but mine, of 1934 vintage, has an hammer spur(thank God).

2 The Swedes managed to ruin a few of their L-40s using ammunition tailored for sub machine gun use. So I'm a bit wary on them.

But I do have a Swedish service pistol. And it was made by Husqvarna.

I purchased a 2020 Colt Python, 6" Stainless.

Waiting for it to arrive. Praying for all it's worth that the revolver is not from the batch with the ruined muzzle crown, mooshie spring and chips & dents.

For the price of these things they should be perfect out of the box.

You and I would have a great time at our club's Great Wars Match for military handguns from World War I to the end of World War II, or their replicas or clones. It's a chance to twice a year take out the guns we've been describing in this thread and put a few rounds downrange out of them. We get an amazing variety of original military guns being brought out.

Same here. I’ve built 2 this year. Not sure how much I like them yet.

I built what is essentially an A2 HBAR in .223 Wylde. Topped with an old 3-9 Weaver, it probably weighs 9 lbs. Its fun to shoot when I can get out to the range (vs the indoor right up the street.)

The other is a .300 Blackout pistol. It’s proving finicky with handloads, and $1-per for factory (if you can find it) isn’t gonna cut it.
I got a bargain on a 7.5” Faxon barrel, but I’m wishing I’d gone longer, or built a carbine.

Watching “Peaky Blinders” got me interested in Webleys, but taking on a whole new platform and two new calibers in the same year sucked up all my bandwidth for tinkering.

My interest in black powder revolvers was re-kindled during the scamdemic, but I don't think there is any connection other than coincidence, since I have plenty of modern guns and ammo and ammo loading components for them.

I bought these five since this spring. From top to bottom:

Uberti Colt Walker, 44 caliber.

Uberti Colt Model 1861, 36 caliber

ASM Colt third Model Dragoon, 44 caliber, with folding leaf sights and mounting hardware for a detachable stock.

Uberti (?) defarbed Griswold & Gunnison brass-framed revolver (as made in the Confederacy during the Civil War), 36 caliber.

Uberti Colt London Model 1851, 36 caliber, with shortened 5" barrel, and mounting hardware for a detachable stock (which I have).

Interestingly, the barrels between the 1851 and 1861 revolvers readily interchange, so I can have a standard or short barreled carbine.

Yes.
I have bought four guns in the last year. Not one of them a Smith & Wesson.
I have sold 3, two of which were Smith & Wesson.
Every gun I bought was a shotgun and am going to be picking up an AR next week. Going to give that platform one more chance.

Last week I was at a gun shop I used for FFL for a pistol I bought for Stepdaughter for Christmas. While waiting, a 6" S&W 629-6 caught my eyes. The one guy I asked if he could let me check it out said "This gives me a reason to handle it, too." I never owned or even shot a .44 Magnum, I have (had) two Ruger .327 Fed Mags. The next day I took both down to ask about trading one or the other. They gave me what I thought was a fair price (for a gun shop) on the 5" Lipsey version, and I went home with the Smith & two boxes of ammo. The lock doesn't bother me like it does many of yinz guys. Anyhow, earlier up there I mentioned about a home defense-size shotgun; I didn't know I wanted a .44 magnum!

Not so much new types of firearms but using what I have in new types of shooting, namely, moving targets.
My dad's old 12 G semi auto with IC and 26" barrel makes for an OK skeet gun.
My 22 lever gun and semi auto pistols for the Club gallery range.

I've been thinking about getting a Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 Spl. Oh I can hear the laughing now. I've always wanted one for years. Also an all steel Colt Commander. With our fearless leader here in VA pretty much ruined gun shows I haven't really looked for either. Yeah, I know I can find both on line but I want to look at them in my hand.

I had a very similar experience. I drove from near Gettysburg to a shop in Bucks County, PA above Philly to look at a gun that I got interested in on line. It turned out to be something I wanted so I bought it. And of course, since it was a long trip, I figured I should find another gun shop in the area to check out. There was another gun shop about 5 miles up the same road. So I went up and there was a new Smith & Wesson 629-6 in the case. While I was looking at it, the salesman told me they also had a used gun of the same model. So I looked at the used gun, determined it had a better lockup than the new gun, whipped out the credit card and bought the used one. I didn't know I wanted another .44 Magnum either. That was an expensive trip!

I started to acquire CZ rimfires about 3 years ago. Now have a 452 in 22 LR, four 455s, and a brand new 457. A 455 FS in 17 HMR is a real tack driver at 100 yds. I dialed the scope in on the 457 two days ago. I also have a Ruger #1 in 22 LR (custom job, I suspect), and a few other 22s.

I seldom see any that I would not like to have. I have a thing for Marlin's and have a number of Marlin rifles. I spotted a Marlin model 120 shotgun online and it was only $250.00 and looked like new although it was made in 1982. I bought it and got it home after shipping and transfer for $290. and it is well worth that to me. I didn't need a shotgun and already had my dads old Remington 870.

I bounce around some. Most recently I've been kicking around getting a Mateba.



Edit: Or maybe an Ulfberht...



Edit: Or an Origin 12...



They're all on the bucket list anyway- unless I get a new AutoMag....

Winchester still markets the 1873 in .357 magnum, although it's manufactured by Moruku. I have one, and it's a beautiful, well built lever action that's suitable for whitetail and self-defense...sweet shooting, and virtually no felt recoil.

Ask, and ye shall receive. Case hardened, regular blue and a few others I believe. They just released 32 new models.

Did someone say "Lahti?" Got one right here - Swiss M40, vintage of 1945, with its gear. These piqued my interest for a while.

That gun DOES look like it's brand new. Nice looking gun!
