Hi all

I'm interested in seeing what firearms you have have purchased or acquired in 2024. Alternatively, what did you get rid of or sell-off?

Just like 2023, I had a slow start to this year. So here is what I bought in 2024:

* S&W Model 3914
* S&W Model 40
* S&W Model 12-2
* S&W Model 28-2
* Heckler & Koch HK4

None of these were expensive buys. I'm still happy to buy "the low hanging fruit" (i.e cheap guns). I did not sell any firearms in 2024.

As said...Unfortunately had to sell some in order to acquire others but that's the way it has been for most all of my "accumulating" time in this hobby:

Here's some:

I built my wife a .223 'precision-lite' rifle

I also went a little crazy with Tisas 1911s... I bought the first on a lark and was so amazed at the quality that I ended up with a bunch.

I got my first ever semi-auto pistol this year in the form of a Glock 33 in .357SIG. I saw it in the display case of a grocery, hardware, gas station, restaurant, post office, gun store on my way to the gym.


I added the +1 mag extensions.

Picked up a 5.56 AR pistol with a 5.5" barrel at gun show for my birthday.
 
I really couldn't tell you. I buy, trade, swap, whatever all the time. I don't know for sure what I've acquired or gotten rid of this year. I know there was one Colt Python, a new blue one, and a 1964 Model 18-2 with the three T's and target stocks and box numbered to the gun. Then in the last month or so I've picked up a BG-2, a Shield 2.0 PC 9mm, and three EZ's, 9mm, 30 SC and 380 acp. I'm sure there have been others but I don't recall them specifically or what I got rid of to make room.

It was a good year for me. Some strange or hard to find handguns made their way into the safe after a few years of not really finding many.

Bought:

14-3 6" SAO
627-PC 5" pre-IL forged frame (grail gun for a long time)
57 4" (missed on a couple of 657 3" auctions...not a bad consolation prize)
Triple Lock .455 Bisley 6.5" shaved to .45ACP/AR
Bernardelli Model 80 .32ACP (consolation for missing on a Benelli M77...but it's not a very good compromise)
17 no dash converted to .17HMR (not here quite yet)

While I add cash to the gun fund, I did end up selling a bunch, especially the older fixed sight guns.

Sold:

627-5 5"
M&P .38 from 1917
early 1917 .45ACP
postwar H-D 5"
14-4 8-3/8"
 
Thanks all for your participation. It’s New Years Eve here in Australia. I’ve just been and bought 2000 x Federal Small Pistol Primers so I think that wraps it up for my 2024!

Happy New Year Moo Moo! We have a bit of a wait here....

Bought several but my favorite is my Drilling. Haven't fired it yet but I did manage to find a couple boxes of 9.3x72R for it.
