What's your most recent firearm purchase, and why did you buy it?

[srsmyth]

I just picked up what appears to be a NIB model 645. Beautiful handgun. Paid $400 and I think the price was reasonable. Anyone with much experience with the 645?

Welcome to the Forum. I purchased my 645 new in 1986 when they first became available to me and I really like that pistol, even when shooting it alongside my Gold Cup. I suspect you will be very happy with it.
It's unfortunate that I don't even have a picture of it.

M&P, 1947, 1 7/8" bbl, stag grips. Why.......didn't have one like that with stags.

Sport II, no idea why I bought it

Most recent purchase? A very nice little four inch 19-3. Just a wonderful little pistol. About all anyone would ever need for just general uses. Wonderful handling, excellent SA and DA trigger pull. Came w/ a sad looking pair of Hogue grips. Replaced with some nice square butt S&W grips that for a long time were on my little Model 18. Found a Bianchi 5BHL in factory black. Makes a really nice combination. Sincerely. bruce.

A 52-2 arrived last Friday, no box, two mags. Why? Wanted one for years, had a chance to shoot one two weeks ago, five rounds later I was convinced.

900 more rounds of 5.56(a no brainer at .24 cents per round delivered for brass) and 500 more of .45acp and 9mm.....in before the inevitable price spike

No photos yet, and I haven't even had a chance to shoot it, but a couple days ago I bought a 6" Model 28-2, in excellent condition. It locks up as tight as a Colt, and it was $460 OTD. I'm extremely pleased!

Photos and range report to follow ASAP.

Why did I buy it? Now, does that really require an answer?

Vickers Tactical G19. Found it NIB, got it because it was a limited number run of the 3rd installment of Lipsey's/Vickers/Glock pistols, it is out of production and was a good buy. Plus I think the gold bead front sight is pretty cool lol.

I have no idea why I bought this anchor, other than it was local, no tax or transfer, came with 5 mags, two sets of grips, box papers and a box of 45. And a real good price.
Trading fodder for the future I suppose.

Once you shoot if a few times you might just want to keep it. The 45xx series is the smoothest shooting pistols you can get. I love my 1911s but this series is so smooth.

I found a 6" blued Smith & Wesson Highway Patrolman at a nearby gun show. It seems like a lot of 30 year old N frame S&W's are hitting the market and I always liked them.

Very nice! I always keep my eye out for 1006's, just whenever I find one they are 1000.00+ if not more, especially if they have original box and both mags in good condition.

Loves me some U rear with the gold bead front. Easy on my old eyes & the bead just seems to center in the U all on it's own!

3913. I wanted a 9mm and kept reading here how great they are.

Last Week I purchased a Smith and Wesson M&P 10, .308 on Thursday and a Glock 19X on Friday. I have been wanting the M&P 10 for a couple of years and the 19X since they were released. Have to slow down a bit now though.

Model 10-11 police trade-in. I bought it because I wanted a round butt K or L frame with a 4" barrel and no lock.

 

[tug700]

Sorry no pictures. A Ruger Mark 4, Target, like new, just pistol and a zippered case. Because it was a good deal and I wanted a Mark 4.

 

[Ozark Marine]

Well I bought 2 Smiths about a week apart.
#1- S&W 645 cause I thought why not.

#2- And a PD never issued 5906 TSW NIB that Sportsmans Outdoor
Superstore is selling now.

Bought it because I didn't want to end up regretting passing on a original new in box unissued and only fired at the factory gun.

I'll let you guys know when I get it the exact date on the envilope.
It is in transit now with Fedex.

Bought a 6" 629-5 very lightly used and traded in a 2000's vintage Ruger Blackhawk stainless 7.5"

Nothing fancy or special, just right up my alley.

Haven’t bought anything in awhile! Now you got me thinking?
