Whats your latest purchase? "guns/accessories"

A Burris 3X magnifier to got behind my Aimpoint Pro, atop my MP Sport and a Galco Ankle Glove for my Model 36 and Charter Undercover (original one from the early 80s). BOTH from great members right here on SW forum!
 
642 last week. Spring kit for 642 this week, also new recoil spring and Hogue grip for LCP, and a replacement transfer bar for a Ruger Blackhawk.
Last but not least, 60 pounds of lead.
 
Scored a nice 686-3 2.5" with combats at last week's Big Reno Show. Sorry about the recycled picture, it's seen a lot of miles this past week.:D I'll take new pictures after I install new Ahrends Moradillo Retro Bananas.

I just found this thread. Had I known it existed I would have already posted several times.
Anyway, my latest purchase is a SS Taurus 66 .357 with a 4" barrel. It's definitely a tamed hand cannon. :D

I just got my order of two one piece Hogue Grips for my Taurus 65 & 66 357.Mag's 4" in the mail today. I will post pictures after I change them on the revolvers.

I just recently bought a SS Taurus 66. Can you please provide the link to where you purchased those nice wood grips for your Taurus 66? Thank you.
 
I bought another Springfield Model 1873 Cavalry Carbine. My son jokes that I'm trying to equip a Cavalry Troop.

There are some modern guns coming up for auction this coming weekend. Let's see if I add any to my collection.
 
I finally received the Mech Tech CCU I ordered last month. Added my 1911 frame (with Recover Tactical Grip), Ultra Dot 30MM sight and a cheap weapon light. I can't wait to get to the range and put some .45 ACP ball on target! Sorry about the poor photo, my nosy neighbor was out, so I took the picture on the back porch with the cell phone flash.

Browning Strike Force Recon trail camera.Been looking & researching trail cameras for awhile. Don't have one but this seemed the "best for the buck" trail camera.
Just ordered it on sportsmansguide last night with SG double discount camera and 32M card = $151.00. Some more Geco 38 sp. ammunition & Armco 22 magnum. Another Archangel Mosin Nagant synthetic stock with 10 round magazine $120. Set of 22 call 1" scope rings. A Mr. Buttsmoociemoe hammock for my wife!
Last gun I bought? Uh... a Winchester model 12 riot SG?
 
I just picked up a trapdoor springfield with orginal sling and bayo and scabbard and frog.3 weeks ago I got a later made trapdoor with ramrod bayo in mint condition and a Saginaw m-1 carbine. this Friday I get another m- carbine a Inland general motors div 1944 I have on hold. the guns don't have any import marks on them. I will put on hold then a S&W 1937 brazilian contract 45 acp revolver. All coming out of a guys collection he started on in the 1960s. its sad he is in his early 70s and has stage 4 cancer so hes selling to pay medical bills. so I will be the care taker of them till my time comes. This guy has orginal civil war guns. and may boxes of parts for military guns. a lot of garands and krags .Oh I also got 3 weeks ago a Kar98 k in near mint condition no import marks on it. its a BCD 4 which is 1944 haven't fired it yet.
 
A used, but not abused, Ruger SR22.

The Ruger SR22 didn't stay with me long. By an act of the Divine, I managed to purchase the very same pistol that was used by my god daughter during her NRA children's introduction to firearms class.

She'd been asking her dad to go shooting. Her mom was a bit nervous, and was hesitant to agree to allow her 12 year old daughter to come with her dad and I to the range. The solution was easy. For Christmas, I gifted her enrollment in a NRA certified children's intro to firearms class. The pistols used for instruction were Ruger SR22's. Classroom instruction, test, and then supervised range instruction. Towards the end of the range instruction, each student shot a 5 round target for competition. My god daughter beat out the entire class. 4 shots in the bull, one on the ring. She won a baseball cap. I had my DSLR with me and took a few pictures.

Fast forward to a few days after I brought the SR-22 home. I'm looking at the pictures. One of them was a close up of the gun she used. I zoomed in on the serial number, and wouldn't you know it? Used pistol in my hand is the exact same one in the picture. The exact same pistol that my god daughter ever fired and won with.

I tell her dad. He thinks I'm making it up. I show him the pictures and hand him the pistol. The SR-22 is now in his safe, in his care, until his daughter is old enough to take possession. :)

So I still need an easy to use, breakdown, clean .22lr pistol for marksmanship fundamental practice. This came home with me today:

Comrades!! Just won a Gunbroker auction on a CZ 75B 9mm Cold War Commemorative model with the silly red stars and hammer and sickle insignia with Cyrillic stampings all over. Round trigger guard and spur hammer. I only hope the owner's manual is not in Cyrillic too. This is my second semi-auto after getting a Beretta 92FS for Christmas (blame The Walking Dead on that one!). Still a S&W revolver guy at heart (617, 640, 686, and a 629) but people close to me were suggesting it was kind of time to enter the later half of the 20th Century and these two bottom feeders really struck my fancy not being tacticool polymer designs and everything. So...Mama Mia!...Comrade!

Last Sunday, traded into a 686 Pro Series. Got rid of my LAST poly gun. It isn't that often you can make a good deal at a gun show. (around here anyway)
Ordered some fancy Hogue Wood Stocks for it Friday night. Bob

Finally procured a 1911

It's a mildly customized SR1911 lightweight commander from either 2016 or 2017 that I picked up via trade recently. The stainless slide was cerakoted by a local shop in a blue/black/gray color. The mainspring housing is a chainlink pattern, trigger is serrated, the rear sight is a 10-8 and the front sight is a Trijicon. In the box were the original parts, Ruger grips, and grey/blue/green VZ grips.

I gave up a Kahr PM-9 for it.
