What's your "last gun of the year"?

[WC145]

DCWilson's thread about his very cool Colt Commando got me thinking that it might be neat to see what everyone elses "last gun of the year" might be. Post some pics and show us the one you managed to sneak in under the wire before you have to start paying for Christmas and worrying about taxes!

Here's mine, it's one of my grail guns, a DetonicsUSA StreetMaster. It's a full size (5") slide/barrel on a shorty CombatMaster frame, they were only made briefly before DetonisUSA closed up shop. I've been looking a long time but they're pretty rare, I've only found one other for sale and I was way too late. It's kind of been like looking for bigfoot - I've never actually seen one in person, other guys say they know someone who has, and the same half a dozen pics keep getting recycled around the interweb. Finally a guy on another forum hooked me up with a dealer that has three NIB!! Mine should be here on the 28th, it's going to be like Christmas all over again!

Mine is a Winchester Model 1892 made in 1892. I can't get over how nice it is. Yes, it has been restored.

The last chunk of steel I got this year was this Uberti Second model Dragoon. It is a fine piece of machinery.

can't do pics yet,but, did get a model 43 built in 1971 and a colt police positive in 32 police,made in 1926. both of these will be my wife's guns since she doesn't like anything heavy in weight or recoil.

 

[Marshall 357]

Mine was a Glock 23,Nothing as cool as the ones you guys got.

Well, I had a tie.
These two came in the same day. The 4" from a forum member and the 2.5 from a neighbor who needed some Christmas cash.
Both 66 "no dash"...boxed.

686

My last gun ended up being this 686:

I ended up with three new guns this year. It's been great.

Well, I had a surge, seven in the past 3 weeks. But the last may be the nicest. A 4" 29-3 (my first 4" Model 29). Its wearing shoes "borrowed" from my 28-2, as it came with a laser grip that thankfully, went away quickly:

mine last gun of 2011 was a s&w model victory.

 

[Evil Dog]

A Model 13 3" round butt !!! Had one back in the early 80's and absolutely loved it. No idea why I ever sold or traded it but have been wanting another ever since. Finally found another last month... my last gun of the year and it's a keeper.

Well the year isn't over yet and 6 days can be a long time, but I think my last firearm of the year will end up be my M 27-2 5". I recently added a set of stag grips and a BK grip adaptor. I should be set until 2012, which is only 7 days ways.

Merry Christmas all.

I can't open my presents until the daughter gets home from work this evening...then I will see what might be lurking under the tree!!

No pics but it was a Marlin 1894SS, 44 mag.

Man i have a week off work with nothing to do but shop the internet and the LGS . time will tell.

Got me a M&P 9C. Can't wait 'til Jan 7th 2012 ! OGCA!

 

[reddogge]

I have to go back to 9/30/07 for the last gun I bought, a WW2 era M1 Garand, Springfield Armory. I just haven't bought much since I retired. Been in the selling off mode actually.

 

[HERMAN.40]

Sorry, no pictures. My M&P22 finally came in 2 weeks ago, and FINALLY the Browning 1911-22 came in Thursday. Long wait on both. The S&W shoots like a dream, Feels like the .40 except for the weight. The 1911-22 is beautiful, Small for my big paws, but will go nice with my Colt New Frontier .22, Mosquito, and my m-63. also the Stoeger .22 Luger. All in all, A good finish for the year.

I'd love to see some pics of the Browning

I sold about 8 guns in the summer when money got tight, then turned around and somehow got 13+ to replace the ones I sold. My last gun this year was a camo H&R 10 guage turkey gun. I dont even hunt anymore but it looks cool!
