Yesterday I picked up a CZ75 P-01 (9mm) to replace a 1984 Beretta 92F I sold to my brother a few years ago.
Going out tomorrow to break it in. Feels good, so we'll see.
Update - shot it and am pleased. Shooting Winchester white box 115gr from a benchrest and freehand, all 100 shots were left of point of aim. 100 Federal AE and still mostly left of POA. Shot closer to POA freehand than on bench. Drifted rear sight and going back out today.

New (to me) Fusion Custom 1911
I've mostly been content with the "off-the-shelf" 1911's. I've shot a few high end 1911's, but for my purposes stock works.
That ended Wednesday. I had sold off a few of my stock guns, and happened to drive past an unvisited LGS. In the used cabinet he had a couple of very nice 1911's; an STI double stack in .45 Auto, and a Fusion Firearms custom. One look at the Fusion, and I decided it would be a good addition.
This gun was built as an IPSC-type gun, chambered in 9x23 Winchester, and built when Fusion was still in Northampton, NY. After purchase, the previous owner had the rails accurized by local gun smith Doug Jones (Acc-U-Rail). The pistol is tight in every respect. It has a bit of wear at the front of the slide, and the grip safety and hammer have a bit of bluing loss. Other than that, its in excellent condition. Along with the pistol and (6) 9x23 magazines, it has a custom 9x19 barrel installed, along with (8) 9x19 magazines. The real bonus is that it also came with 800 rounds of 9x23 ammo.
The only downer was that it came with a FLGR, which I've since replaced. The Hogue grips are gone, and replaced with a set of VZ's. So far, I've left the 9x19 barrel in place. I'll take it to our club, where I can more easily reap the 9x23 brass.
It seems that the gun performs best when you really bear down on the grips. In the first three mags I had a number of stove pipes and FTE's. However, when I discovered that I was "limp wristing" a bit, I firmed up, and the next 150, or so, rounds fed without a hitch. Is it me, or do the tighter tolerances require more attention to basics?
It's accurate. A 6" bull at 15 yards was completely gone, and all I concentrated on was the front sight. It's far more accurate than I. After I got it home, I cleaned it, and found a replacement Wolff recoil and hammer spring kit in my 1911 box, so they were replaced.

Beretta M9 22LR - picked up this week. I'm a 92FS shooter so I had to have this. I really like it.
Differences from its 9mm uncle:
Price, 22LR, aluminum slide with different extractor and firing pin procession to accommodate rimfire, plastic front and rear dovetail sight inserts (comes with 2 front sight inserts of differing heights), polymer frame with metal rails, plastic recoil spring guide, lighter weight but not objectionably noticeable.
Similarities:
Exact same size, 15+1, magazine finds home (no fiddling), solid barrel, all the buttons and controls are in the same place and feel the same except that the decocker/safety switch has a mid point that you can feel and stop at which allows for quick decocking-only with the switch automatically returning to the ready setting without having to go all the way to "safe" and having to manually flick it up, flawless functioning (tried 6 types of high-velocity ammo w/ lots of fast-firing and had no FTF/FTE failures whatsoever and slide always stayed open on last round.
Cosmetically perfect, no defects in finish, does not come with a spare mag. Did I mention that I couldn't get it to jam or fail?

I have to go to the revolver section for the experts to tell me exactly what I have. I did the standard revolver checks, and everything is perfect.
Sorry for the horrible cell phone picture. Because it absolutely does what I need it to do, I refuse to upgrade my cell phone just to get a better camera. I'm now enduring the idiotic IL mandatory 72-hour "cooling off" period.

I had an f.o.i.d. Way back then. I gladly left Chicago behind in 1986.
You have a nice S&W military & police revolver, later termed Model 10.
