What's your "last gun of the year"?
- Thread starter WC145
- Start date
Bought a nice Ruger single six, and S&W 15-2 from my brother around Christmas. Right after Christmas, I picked up a lightly used Ruger Mark II target pistol.
Bought a S&W 28-2 on Gunbroker, but it won't be here until Thursday.

I picked this one up about 3:45pm on New Year's Eve. It's a nice revolver. Manufactured as a "Qwik Kit". This one is chambered for .45 Colt. It has a 4 3/4" barrel...the throats are all a consistent .451 The trigger breaks clean at a constant 2 pounds 13 ounces.
I have not shot it yet....hope to try it out tomorrow afternoon.

Last three of the year
Here's the last of the year for me. They all arrived at my safe around the same time so I figure I would count them all.
An earlier Model 37 with the flat latch in great shape with matching grips.
A RSR 6451, more rare (around 150 total) than I thought when I purchased it.
A long tubed Model 17 no dash (also very, very scarce).
I think I finished strong. Did some selling and saving in December to have some cash for the big winter antique arms show in Vegas. Can't wait to see what I will find for my first gun of 2012.

My last gun of the year served two purposes. I have always wanted a Ruger #1 due to their attractive styling and long history. Secondly, I have always wanted to play with a belted magnum. So here is my 1975 vintage Ruger #1 in .375 H&H.

Now that it's over I know for sure. My last gun was a S&W 296 but that doesn't count because I immediately sold it to forum member GF. The last keepers were a 2 gun deal on Oct 1. A S&W mod 28 6" 4screw and a prize in a S&W 586-4 3" barrel. I did snag some pretty cool Kershaw knives in December.

I bought these about a week apart in November. Both of them were on my "must have" list for too long. I am glad I was able to check them off!
S&W Model 41 5" Field
Colt Python 6" Royal Blue

In fact, appropriately, a S&W.....
