Sold a S&W 940, Glock 42, Ruger LCP Max, a couple of S&W 3913s, a CZ Rami.
Purchased and currently own an Sig P365 with standard and extended grips, a 4 inch blued Ruger Security Six and about a year ago I got my 1976 Browning Hi Power back. After years of trading I can say that I’m pretty confident and content with my choices. Don’t think there’s anything that can be improved upon as far as my NEEDS are concerned. In a few years a S&W EZ9 may be added due to hand issues. Need to add a good bolt action rifle to the arsenal. Not sure that I will be buying or selling anything else for at least a couple of years.

I don't sell my guns. Give them away, lose them, let someone borrow them, but sell, nope not my style.
Added a Remington M-8 chambered for .35 Remington.
Won on a drawing ($40.00 out of pocket) a Beretta M-84 .380.
Both used, but in good condition.

Dry year for my milsurp addiction. Money had to go to house repairs and prices have been stupidly lately. I did pick up an AR15 lower as a hedge against an anti-gun election result, and I scored a $82 SCCY CPX2 MKIII a store was selling from a collection. Fired very little, came with the box, papers, and spare mag.
SIR...........You are in HIGH COTTON with that mdl 8 in 35 rem........Always wanted one of those.
I believe I bought a M27-2 5" in the early part of the year, and 2 Dan Wesson M1911's . One in 9mm, the other in 45acp.
I spent a lot of time looking at revolvers, but just could not find any I wanted. This year will see me drop a few revolvers

Three semi-autos, after telling myself over a year ago I wasn't buying anything in 2024. Bought a Taurus TX22 back in the summer, dumped 500 rounds through it, liked it. Then the same store had a two-tone (old new stock) on sale $60 cheaper! Grabbed it as well. Then - Ruger released the RXM, so I now own my first Glock 19 clone, with a better trigger and straighter grip. I like it too.
Just buying 22LR and 9mm ammo in 2025...

What I bought in 2024
Taurus 856 Defender 38Special 6 shot revolver. 3 inch barrel.
Nice enough revolver but had to have my gunsmith lighten the trigger pull . I’m guessing the double action pull was about 14 lbs.
Now SA pull 6 LBS 12 Oz. DA pull 10Lbs 8.0 Ozs. Also had to replace the grip because the factory grip positioned my hand so that the cylinder release bloodied my thumb knuckle.
Also bought a Diamondback SDR .357 Revolver . I chose the one with the Black Nitride finish which makes it very easy to clean and is extremely wear resistant. Weight 21 ozs J frame sized . 6 round capacity Factory SA trigger pull 4LBS 15 ozs DA 9Lbs 14 ozs , very smooth and does not stack . Fiber optic sights are very easy and for my 76 year old eye to see. I am carrying it a lot..
I ready like this revolver.

The Marlin .357 lever rifle I ordered in the spring of 2020, or more precisely, a close variant finally came in about a month ago. I did the Washington background and waiting period, during which I am having some smithing done by the shop.
I am now out of commission for shooting due to an ill-considered fight with the garage floor, which I lost. The surgery is next week. It caused a lot of other problems which frustrate me and can't really be described without upsetting the mods.
I am considering selling my 625-6 which was stolen and recovered, then fixed by BMCM. Silly emotional response, but I don't feel a connection to it now.

Even worse; I had to pay for it up front. I had worked on it about 12 years ago when I was co-owner of a gun shop. The owner is a fair friend, and he only charged me the cost for a refinished rifle. Yes, I'm going to tell you.......$150.00. Honest to Gawd, thaats all.
It was a pretty good year.
In order:
Ruger American .243 January
S&W 15 2” SB February
S&W 12 2” SB April
S&W Pre-12 2” RB (aluminum cyl) April
Ruger LCR .22 2” May
S&W 642UC June (Traded Ruger American .243 for it)
S&W 431PD July
Marlin 336SC Aug
S&W 14-3 PPC gun Aug
Sako L579 Forester Sep
Marlin 1894 .357 November

Hope you are “on the mend” and can get to finally use the .357mag Marlin you have been waiting for since 2020.
