Have you ever bought a firearm because you owned an old magazine with it on it?

Although I’ve never bought a gun because I already had a magazine, I’ve bought plenty because I had grips, holster or scope that needed a home.
 
Yes, new kimber micro Rapide in 9mm. My NRA American Hunter magazine. Im not one to pay attention to ads, but ive always wanted a small 1911 in my carry rotation. I was hesitant when they first came out years ago because of all the feed issues. They seem to have improved quite a bit, although I still hear of the occasional issue.
 
impulse buy

I bought a Colt 1903 because I had a custom holster that fit that pistol. Now I have 3, two 380s and one 32.
SWCA 892
 
I bought a firearm, because of the story be it true or false.
Clint Eastwood was one of my favorite actors and as the story goes he could not handle the .44 magnum with one hand so they used a model 27 since it was the same size as the model 29.
I bought a model 27 in the 70's and still have it.
 
I have dies, molds, cases, boolits, some holsters, and even some ammo for a 380, but no 380.
 
Back in the late 80’s I saw this model 29 on the cover of SHOOTING TIMES. They were running a contest on naming it. Still have the magazine and the model 29 Classic Hunter.
