Not sure about the other Forum brethren, but I sure am surprised!

Model 629 3" Talo.

Got these 2 today for Christmas.
I am a happy camper.
36 and 14-4 both with real pearl grips. Finish on the 14-4 isn`t original, but nicely done.

I -N-E-V-E-R- get tired of looking at that.

Sorry to say, it's not a Smith, but a Sig P226 with night sites and an SRT. The one before was a Model 57 with a 4 inch barrel.

Christmas eve, S&W MP15-22 for good ol' fashioned fun shooting.

I've had one of these for years. Great gun especially for reloader. I've always used that heavy frame and cylinder to test out 9mm loads for pressure before using them in a lighter gun. Same for the .357/.38 before using them in my SP101. It's also great even if you don't reload. When it's not being used as a test weapon, it's my venomous snake gun and stays loaded with CCI snakeshot. Even here in the city, I've dispatched two rather large copperheads in my mother's backyard with it along with a rat about the size of a small cat. Snake shot took that rat right off the top of the fence.

Mine is an AR-15 built on a S&W lower receiver and Rock River mid lenght upper. I put an EOTech sight on it that co-witness's with the iron sights.

Hardly any S&W revolvers here for sale I don't already have. I guess I'm going to have to start buying more from the classifieds here.

My in-laws got me a Heritage Rough Rider 4" model LNIB with both 22 LR & 22 WMR cylinders. They knew I was looking for a starter revolver for when my sons get old enough.

Ooof ! That is a surge.


Mine will probably a Blue Model 48-3 with 4" barrel. 5 days to go to be sure.

Mine was a different brand, the new version of the Ruger SP 101 .22 my lovely wife gave me for Christmas, I'm happy!

This is actually an "almost last gun of 2011," but I'd like to show it anyway because it represents a kind of departure for me. A gun usually has to have a big rotating chunk of steel in the middle to catch my attention, but I can appreciate a nicely designed semiauto as well. This is an early (1991) 4006 that I won in a forum benefit auction several weeks ago, but I couldn't take possession until December because of my state's peculiar calendar of firearms acquisition permissions and the way that calendar interacts (or doesn't interact) with various state and federal firearm licenses and certificates.



I'm looking forward to some range time with this one after the first of the year.

I got this blocky Walther PPS with a lego-like grip. Nice shooter, though.



9mm, 3.2" barrel, polymer frame, Tenifer-coated steel slide, 19.4 oz., 7-rd mag.

What do you have against your mother in law?!!

Here's my second to the last gun, a mint Charter Arms Bulldog .44. It's weird, though. Ever since I got it I keep hearing my dog talk to me telepathically telling me to do crazy stuff. "Get my ball..Get my ball..."

I was not aware that gun existed, but something about it makes me keep looking at it. I see it has both Walther and S&W markings. Does it share any parts or design features with Smith's semiautos, or are design and production completely separate?

I know what you mean. I SHOULD hate that thing. But it's very symetrical in it's modernness and fascinating. It would look great in the hands of a slightly futuristic movie cop.

Model 70 Winchester, standard, pre 64 (1961), .30-06, 98-99%

I picked up this 28-2 from my FFL the Friday before Christmas. I got it from a GB auction the week prior to that, so I guess this will be my last of the year. Happy New Year to everyone.

Year isn't over yet. Either a Sig 1911-22 or the lower cost but identical GSG 1911-22. If I do not get one of those
the default position is held by my grandfathers H&R Small Frame Hammerless in .32 S&W that he bought in
a barber shop in 1929.

I picked up this model 14-3. I already had one but everyone needs a spare don't we?

looks like it will be a 27-2 nickel 31/2 inch been realy lusting for one for years

As far as I know, the PPS isn't a cousin to any S&W semi-autos. It's German made, and it's about the size and weight of a Glock 26, except it's thinner (single-stack mag) and has a longer grip, meaning it's a bit easier to carry and a bit easier to hang on to when firing. It has interchangeable backstraps of different sizes. It's trigger pull isn't overly long and is a pound or two heavier than a Glock. Does have kind of a distinctive look...

My last is a 1948 K38, my first Kframe.

A 642 with lock for the wife when I travel. Had the LGS put a spring kit in it before I even shot it and it works and shoots great. No poor quality in this one.

Which gun is my last gun of the year depends on how you keep score . . .

If it's the last gun I actually got my hands on and fired, then that would be my newest Dan Wesson CCO last week.





But, if you count guns that have been ordered but not received, that would be the S&W 3913NL I bought in an auction yesterday to go with my wife's S&W 3913LS Lady Smith that she got the same day my Dan Wesson arrived.

It is going to be a bad 2012 for the Hogs.

This should be how the year ends but there is a few days left and i'ma itchin...............

My last for the year was a model 29-2 W/ 8-3/8s" Barrel.
The Mrs suprised me with the info on it while I was on duty on Christmas Eve,

Last one for 2011 was a S&W 659.

4" 66-7. Yeah, it's a MIM/lock gun, but I traded for a Glock, so stainless>plastic.

As of right now, and there are still 4 shopping days left until 2012, my last, and one of the top purchases, is this mint 27-2 3 1/2" that I bought from a fellow forum member last week. Wow....just wow

It's a Colt, I hope I am forgiven. When I get some time for a range visit I am going to do a shooting comparison with it vs. my 1927 Smith & Wesson M&P .38 Target Model. I had been looking for one of these for a while. Now if I can find one in .22 caliber....

Benelli 12ga. It's a Model M3 auto/pump combo with a pistol grip. I have a set of nite sites yet to be installed and I put on a 2 shot extension making it 7+1. Not a handgun, but I felt the cool factor was right up there, plus the price was right. Something to keep my 1100 tac4 from getting lonely.

I did not intend for this one to become my last gun of the year, but it called to me and I could not resisit.
M19-3

Well it really wasn't a gun but I bought a Ciener 1911/22 Platinum Cup Target conversion off of GB, couldn't pass it up for the price and what came with it. I may be putting an AR on layaway before the years ends as well.

That's in OUTSTANDING condition. Good find!

You are forgiven, but that may not count for much as it is another occasional Colt sinner who forgives you.

Colt didn't always build a gun right, but when they did there was absolutely zero room for improvement. The prewar Officers Models are some of the best target revolvers ever made.

If you happen to find two OM .22s, tell me about the one you don't take.

I got this one about a week and a half ago.
Sig P239 in .357 Sig.
I've got a .40 barrel for it on the way to me, also.
As long as I stay out of the gun shops until the 1st of Jan. this should be my last gun of the year.

5" .38 Special M&P circa 1950

I though my last gun of 2011 was going to be the 60-7 snub I picked up a few weeks ago. Today I stopped at the LGS exactly one mile from my abode to see if they had any LeverRevolution 44 ammo. Nope, so I started to browse the fairly thin used handgun selection and spied this Model of 1917 'Classic' 22-4 .45 ACP. 5.5 inch. Nuts! a gun on my shooter list. Traded off a nearly new Ruger SP-101 3 inch and some cash. The counterfeit combat grips are my addition as I find the 1917 reproduction grips way too small for my XL mitts!

A lovely 1950 Long Branch Lee Enfield No 4. The stock has a few dings but the blueing shows next to no wear. Purchased 12/15 but no chance to shoot it just yet.

Just a little up date i did not know what my last gun would be till today. model 10-7 it is. Stoped at LGS and fell in love with the 3in heavy

Got one several years ago and ain't fired it yet. Bought it used/unfired. The original owner hard-chromed the slide and barrel and stuck on some Trijicons. $580+tax/bc, couldn't pass it up. Later I aquired about a dozen or so factory new mags for it on clearance for $8 apiece. Probably my best deals ever.

I have fired the 357 sig in a Glock and really like it. Thing I like about this little Sig is, it is a sweetheart to tote around, unlike 10mms that start to feel like a boat anchor on my hip after a while.

My only sister, bless her heart, wanted to buy me a gun for Christmas. She asked the counter guy for something unusual:

This is my favorite (and only) partially gold colored Taurus. Its not something I would probably pick for myself, but it means a lot since it came from my sister.
