whats your latest brand new revolver purchase?

My purchase of a new S&W revolver was in 2014 when I purchased a 642-1 (no lock). I stick mainly with used pre-lock models. I recently bought a M-36 made in 1963, that was in excellent shape.
 
Just sitting here scratching my head and asking myself if I've EVER bought a brand new revolver. Pretty sure the closest I've ever come is the Ruger Blackhawk in .327 Federal that was advertised as "new" on Gunbroker but definitely had signs of having been fired. Regardless, I'm still not sorry for buying it, though.

I will admit that it's been difficult NOT breaking down and ordering a new 640 Pro, though! :(

I'm waiting on my new 442 no lock to arrive from S&W - warranty replacement for my cracked frame early 642. They wanted to replace with a 642 but I wanted the black finish.
 
My latest brand new S&W revolver purchase was model 13-4 in middle of 1990's

I have had bought one new Taurus 941 .22 WMR also in middle of 1990's, but I sold it because it was wrong brand :)
 
Just picked up a 586 6". Really good condition except for a bit if rust near muzzle. I hope to shoot it today.

I would post pictures, but how do I do it?

I bought a 586 and a 686 about 12 yrs ago never shot the 686 ,and fired the 586 twice , sent them both down the road 10lbs trigger, IL I tried to warm up to never could.
 
The only new gun I have purchased was a pre ban 92fs, best I can remember it was a bit under 600$ in the early 90s.
 
My last "new" S&W revolver purchase was in 2021. It was a "new in the box" 27-2 with a 5-inch barrel made in 1975. My previous "new" buy was a 29-2 with a 8 3/8" barrel made in 1978.
