whats your latest brand new revolver purchase?

[Helderberg]

This now with rubber boots.

 

[Ceapea]

A brand new SP101, 22LR.
A few weeks old now.

 

[ayetee]

Ashland special run Model 66 with 3" barrel in 1988 from the back of Shotgun News. I think it cost me $295.

Here are my two most recent brand new guns.

The 642 was first and the Ruger GP-100 came later.

....

So what was your last brand new s&w purchase??

As far as "new-new" goes, a Model 69:

With the usual S&W 3 round test fire. It has been quite satisfactory.

Have a 625 PC in the works, mostly because I stumbled upon ~7500 LSWC bullets for a very reasonable price recently. The super short cylinder on the PC was intriguing, and it passed the "hands on" inspection, so will do some back to back testing against the 625JM.

New 442 Pro.

Latest Brand New Revolver

I interpreted the thread title to mean ANY brand new revolver, not just a S&W. I rarely buy a brand new S&W wheelgun anyway and generally prefer ones with pinned barrels and other of the older features. My latest brand new revolver is a Charter Arms "Classic" Bulldog in .44 Special. This is very similar to the original Bulldog with the tapered barrel and no ejector rod shroud. The box label said it had wood grips, but the one I received had rubber. I round some wood grips on GB and they are now installed on my Bulldog. The finish is polished blue except on the cylinder, which is more of a matt blue finish. I wish they had polished it too, I'm not sure the why or wherefore of this. Anyway, the price was right and I although they were announced by Charter, I believe they were produced only on a limited basis. I plan to shoot and carry mine so it won't be a gun safe queen.

I finally obtained my first 45 ACP revolver a week ago after wanting and looking for about a year. I was shopping 'used' but ended up finding an older, new beauty. It is a 625-7 Performance Center, 5" barrel, only test fired by S&W in June 2001 when I baught it. I've had it out to shoot a couple times and have put about 10 moonclips of 230 gn FMJ through it so far. I like it alot! Pics and simple range report to appear soon.

This happens to be my latest purchase:

 

[Stephanie B]

Last brand-new revolver I purchased was a Model 29 in 1982. Newest revolver I have is a 696, I'm second or third owner on that. Or maybe the Aussie 10-11?

 

[finnfan]

New 442 Pro.

Same here.

The fine print gotcha. Enjoy that Bulldog. If S&W was smart, it could have been one of their models.

I bought a new 686-6 6 inch barrel Deluxe and a new 625JM and love both of them.
The new one is the 6 inch barreled top one and the second on on the bottom 625JM.

 

[Sapper01]

I bought a Model 640 .357 this past Saturday. My very first revolver and very first S&W.

 

[RussellD]

I cant remember the last time I purchased a new in the box S&W. Lately I have purchased a couple model 64 snubbies and pre model 36.

 

[Joezilla]

For Christmas, I bought a PC 642 Talo edition. In April, I got a 4.1" GP100 .357 blue model. Both are SWEET shooters! Great out of the box triggers on each.

Latest "new" purchase

Smith & Wesson Performance Center 500 Magnum with a full lugged 6.5" barrel. I LOVE shooting it, but even so, after 20 rounds I've had enough fun for one day.

 

[Goldstar225]

I picked up a new 4 5/8" Ruger flat top .45 Colt/ACP (Lipsey special) about a month ago. I'm really liking the feel of the mid-frame SA.

 

[9mmsubgun-m11]

4th of July Friday bought a new 4" 617-rapidly becoming one of my favorites.

 

[lhump1961]

A 586-4 advertised as LNIB but more like NIB! That's as close as I come to a "new" revolver.

That is an absolutely beautiful gun..Nice find!

 

[ILTim]

Funny, I've bought all my semi autos new, and all but one revolver used.

The only new wheel gun was a model 332. It sat there for a couple months in its presentation case and beautiful wood boot grips, a six shot j frame, the lightest ever, discontinued... until I couldn't take it anymore. I do however, kick myself constantly for coonfingering several 631 kit guns and not buying them. Curses.

 

[RevolverDen]

Finally picked up some recent purchases now that they have been added to my pistol license. Here's the one I am carrying right now with 2 speed strips and a pair of speedloaders.

S&W Model 640: Bianchi Speed strips, and HKS 36 speedloader:

Scratch that, for I bought a new 442 last week.

 

[RevolverDen]

Same here.

Very nice! You're adding to my need to own one of these! Even though I recently put money down on a 642-1 Pro awaiting the purchase coupon for my pistol license, and already own a '96 442-1, I have the burning desire to add the new 442-1 Pro as well. Redundant? Yes. But when something is just so good there's no getting enough of it! Enjoy yours, it looks awesome!

I just got another 642 and a Glock G30s.

So many want to play here regardless, but "whats your latest brand new revolver purchase? (sic)" means you bought a trigger lock S&W or something new a number of years ago. I, for one, don't need to hear about why no interest in recent years.

 

[Jaymo]

I bought a Ruger Flattop 44 Special about two years ago. Great wheelgun at a very fair price. Most new revolvers one sees nowadays are in neither category.

This.
I bought the same thing at the same time.
Have bought a couple of unfired Smiths and a Dan Wesson.
I like 1980s and older S&W revolvers better than newer ones.
