Whats your latest purchase? "guns/accessories"

My most recent was kind of a package or cluster of things all with a plan in mind. I bought back a model 28 barrel I used to own that has been rebored to 41, I found a decent model 28 and I traded back into a set of N frame magnas in ivory that I used to have. A tapered 4" barreled model 28 in 41 Special with ivories is the plan once it gets done.
 
I picked these up a few weeks ago and did some extra hand polishing:

It seems that I have reached the stage of getting the right accessories to go with the guns I already have. Case in point is my latest purchase. When I posted my 1943 Ithaca M1911A1 on another Forum, a knowledgeable member noticed that the chamber hood was polished when it should be blue. The chamber hood is the top rear part of the outside of the chamber that shows through the ejection port:

So it was off to eBay to get a correct High Standard barrel:

I just picked up a Colt New Service with RNWMP (Royal North West Mounted Police) markings with an original holster. It is in .45 Colt. I think I'll go to the range tomorrow to shoot it.

Smith & Wesson 642-1. Wasn’t really looking for one, but the price was right, and really, can you ever have too many J Frame snubbies?

Edit: Sadly, it was lost in a boating accident shortly after purchase . . .

Last Thursday the stars and planets all aligned, I finally got the Browning Hi-Power I've been wanting for many years.

I've been looking for either a T or C series Hi-Power for years and years. What I wanted was a nice shooter condition pistol, not a safe queen. Often I've found one but they came at times when I didn't have the scratch to buy them or I've found those new in the box Hi-Powers I could afford but I know I would never be comfortable really shooting and carrying them.

Last week thing all came together. I found my Hi-Power. It is a nice mid 1970s C Series pistol in 80-90% condition. The price was reasonable so I brought it home. Now Browning is no longer manufacturing the Hi-Power and the prices are climbing I'm glad this one came along.

Sometimes things just work out. It is nice but not too nice.

What a great thread...
Has anyone ever calculated the combined purchasing power of the entire S&W Forum Membership worldwide? ;-)

Texas requires a concealed weapon to be carried in a holster and I am still searching for the most comfortable one. I got a Vanguard Raven (left photo) a few weeks ago and like the minimalistic design that allows comfortable and secure carrying under a variety of circumstances; i.e. walking the dog to extended road trips. I ordered the Kydex (right photo) on Amazon for $10 and it works well but is less sturdy than the Raven.
