Mossberg 640KS Chuckster in 22WMR. Why? Pristine all original condition. Manufactured before CNC machining. Weaver B6 scope and mount included. Always wanted a 22WMR rifle but it had to be vintage. I don't do much modern firearm acquisition. Rifle was made between 1960 and 1964. Had a minor magazine issue that was corrected by getting a new magazine from Numrich. Vintage, milsurp, ex-police, and out-of-production firearms are my interest. Not that keen on modern weapons due to prevalence of CNC machining, loose tolerances, and polymer, which has no 'soul.'
What's your most recent firearm purchase, and why did you buy it?

Most recent and Why
Sig P226 9mm. It fit my hand well and when brought up to shoot it was aligned with my eyes like no other pistol I've held . 4 20 round mags are welcomed along with two cases of Federal 124 GR HST bullets so we could get to know each other . Trigger is predictably sloppy but this is no Target gun. Form and function are excellent. Night sights are impressive. This is a weapon to be relied on. Good purchase. $1100 OTD (not including ammo)

...Weatherby Mark V...because I have admired them for the last 45 years...
I bought some 3rd Gen food today. 500 rounds of Federal .45 230gr aluminum cased FMJ and 500 rounds of Blazer Brass 9mm 124gr FMJ.
Because while they are fun to look at, they are more fun to shoot.

Last week at the GS. A 624 no dash, 6". Because Elmer Keith and I didn't have a .44 special.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a Ruger EC9 because it was $200 bucks and 9mm ammo is cheap.
I kept it until my first range visit with a buddy of mine.
He couldn't believe the price and how well it shot (his opinion).
Every so often I buy a plastic bottom feeder to remind myself why I love my revolvers.
When he expressed interest in the Ruger, I saw my opportunity and took it.
I can't and won't say a single bad thing about my friends new gun.

Here's my latest 2 purchases. I got extremely lucky and just happened to be in the right place at the right time when a 629-3 classic 5" was in the case. I can't honestly believe it even made it without a store employee snatching it up.
Then today I happened upon a carry worthy 640-1 with a MIM trigger. My older 640-1 has a forged trigger and is nearly mint.

Last month a Model 19-4 P&R with Target hammer and Target trigger. Extremely smooth and sweet DA pull, to the point I can't shoot a better group in SA than I can DA.
This week a Model 64-5 4in LEO trade in with wood finger groove grips ( not factory, marked Made in Italy) with almost same smooth DA pull as the M19, and a M&P 2.0 Compact 15 rnd model w/thumb safety. I hate the safety but it was the only one they had. Will S&W remove the safety?
Why? M-64 was under $300 out the door and I have hankered for both and had the opportunity to get them.

Nice finds, sweet wheel guns! That 629-3 is very nice. I've got the 5" barrel 625, love the balance of that barrel and full lug on N frames!

My latest purchase was a C. Sharps model 1885 High Wall with a #1 full octagon barrel. I have always wanted a custom gun made just as I wanted, so I ordered it just as I wanted, waited moths for it to be made and got just what I wanted as a retirement present for myself.
Springfield XD mod2 in .45. Was between this or the M&P 2.0. This won as it was $80 cheaper, holds 3 more rounds and came with 3 mags instead of 2. Just ran one mag through it to test functionality and like it so far.

I’m waiting on a S&W 1911 pro series 3” 9mm. Best of both worlds. Weighs as much as my 4” PPQ, but it’s a 1911 style.
