What's your most recent firearm purchase, and why did you buy it?

I bought this Remington 522 Viper on my local site. I bought it because I read the ad wrong and thought it was a 522 Speedmaster and I said “I will take it in the thread. Can’t back out. Ugh. The silver lining is that I gave it to my 15 year old son. He likes the scope. I told him that he can not bring it to school. No problem there. Yes, bad joke, but he smiled.

Happy Day, happy day, happy day,

Woohoo, scored big time today, two new to me Smith's.

First, a 610-3 in original box with all paperwork and fired case.

Second, a 1066 in original box with all paperwork, two mags, wax paper, and cleaning kit. This is my second 3rd Gen Smith, got the Smith sickness.

Pics when I figure out how to post.
 
Ladder, so it isn't stamped P.D. anywhere because it wasn't issued? Or does Raleigh P.D. not mark their weapons?

Either way, a great score. You're right, what's not to love?
 
Ran into this unissued Raleigh PD 1076 today. What’s not to like about a 10mm? Bottoms up, lol.

Wow Ladder...that is one clean looking 1076. Unless you photoshopped off the dings and holster wear, looks like new. Is this your first "sig style" decock 3rd gen? Always liked the look, haven't added one yet though. Congrats on a sweet 10mm! Those have been quite spendy on GB these days, did you find at LGS?

It came out of a police equipment store in Raleigh, and I got it from the original owner.
A previously posted 4566 I bought went from an officers hand right to mine, it too was unmarked.

You beat me to that 610 by minutes. The owner probably didn’t want to ship it.

Great score on that awesome 10 mm.

I have another decocker 1076 around here somewhere :) :) This one I picked up today hasn’t a blemish on it.
I got it from a ex Durham cop who lives somewhat local to me, who bought it years ago from a cop shop.

And you got it bad dude! Nice adds! Wow...10mm wheel gun and 10mm bottom feeder, both Smiths, same day. That is like my dream day!
 
Just to get back on track here , I just ordered a Model 60...my second snub , first being a Charter Arms UC .38 . I'll post a pic of both when I get the 60 next week .
 
So did Ladder steal the 1076 or what, I just bought a diamondback 380 looked at the bodyguard but just needed a personal back up piece.

I remember when good 1076 and even performance models could be had for 500 ish bucks. Those days a long long gone... lol
 
models 58 and 29-6

I took possession of the M58 already and waiting 3 more weeks to get the 29-6.

Why did I buy? Because they ship to my buddy's gun store where I pick them up and not directly to the house when my wife is home...

1013

My most recent purchase is a 4013. Truth is I do not even have it yet.

Why did I buy it?

To convert into a 1013 so that my 1014 has a brother to sit with

I have a 4013/1013 I bought about a year back, I have a 4014 that I will convert at some time. If you are looking for magazines Jacobson's Gun Shop in Story City, Ia had at last visit 4013 single stack mags in stock. Genuine S&W in the package.
 
Continuation

So my last 2 today was a very clean 4553tsw w/box and a Remington 1100 Premier .28g for my boy. Made a few scores in the past couple weeks and I am getting them from my ffl one a week... they have a shelf with my name on it.. so far I have picked up the 4513tsw, 945PC compact and the Baer custom carry 1.5 I think I can get off this kick now. Maybe, just stop looking.... for a while.
