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

...a GLOCK of all things...

I got "into" 10mm last year and ended up with several including a new Glock 40 long slide. I shot a friends G20/3 a few weeks ago and liked the grip just a little more than the G40/4.

Took a motorcycle ride on Wednesday and at a big local shop was a fully customized G20/3. Lone Wolf barrel, my favorite TruGlo TFO night sights, undercut trigger guard, stippled grip and full camo Ceracoat...didn't even look like it had been fired...$495...some price they were asking for other used 10mm glocks...

Took it out Thursday and it is a great shooter...one ragged hole at 15 yards.

No clue why someone would buy a new Glock, add $100 sights, $125 barrel and who knows how much for the custom work and then sell it...

ps...that said the week before I did get back from a friend a Smith I should have never sold...a 625-7 PC 5" .45 ACP....

I bought a couple last Saturday; a new M&P 2.0 Compact and a 4" Model 66-4. I bought the 2.0C because I always find myself picking up my Shield over the G43 as my EDC and I wanted to compare it to the G19's I have. I bought the Model 66 because, well, it was a good price and it's a pre-lock Model 66.

Most recent S&W is a 459 with the "short, fat" extractor. I bought it because I got a fully-functional DA/SA pistol in great condition made in the USA for $353, including tax. I collect the "wonder nines" that were all the rage when I came of age. This old came with the magazine with the flat metal floor plate.

The most recent purchase is a Ruger Standard that Clark Custom modified with a bull barrel and a BoMar sight rib back when they were in Keithville, LA. Why? Because I love rimfire guns that exhibit great American craftsmanship, and the very first firearm I shot back in 1973 was a Ruger Standard.

My latest was a Ruger American Rimfire. Why did I buy it? Never could get my wife to give up her's long enough to let me get any trigger time with it! [emoji48]

Two 500 count boxes of 230 grain 45 ACP bullets. While I'm fairly well set for firearms feeding them is a constant battle between Supply and Demand.

[creekman]

Why, who cares!

I bought a Arisaka Type 38. I have been wanting a Rifle from each of the major countries of WWII and I think I have them now.

It has it's own thread... Gun Show Finds. October 7th, 2017. But here is a model 39-2, still looks like NIB, and has the matching box and all tools and papers except for the swab....

I bought it because I can resist everything except temptation!!!

Best Regards, Les

CZ scorpion evo carbine. If you have to ask why, wouldn't understand anyway.

My last purchase was a 45 Shield. I have no use for it and although I've shot it, it's unlikely i will ever carry it. It was just so cheep with the rebate and the LGS discount, I just couldn't pass it up!

This is my last planned purchase and unlike the Shield, it will be carried as my new north woods trail gun.

A pair of ISP P&R no-dash 66's. Because they are P&R no-dash 66's.

Dan Wesson Specialist commander

For me it was a Dan Wesson Specialist - commander length in stainless steel. I am very, very impressed. Well made gun.

I lusted for a Specialist for quite some time, recently got a bonus and applied it to this purchase.

4506-1 been looking for a long time and was just sitting there at gun shop. Better me than someone else gets it!

 

[CajunBass]

Yesterday. A Browning Hi-Power, "T-series" from 1965 I think it was...65 or 66 anyway. Finish challenged, but priced more like a FEG or and Argie than a Browning. Anyway, I've owned both the FEG and an Argentine Hi-Power, but sold them for one reason or another. Figured it was about time to try a Browning.

I think a little Flitz, some Ren Wax, and a little elbow grease will help with the finish. No pictures, sorry. It's on layaway for a little while anyway.

Finally found a nice Finnish VKT Lahti to go with an original wooden holster stock I bought about 30 years ago. I'll post pictures when Lathi arrives and I can put the two parts together.

I have been obsessed with 1911 handguns the past few months. Lately the 4" version. When I spotted this Colt pre 80 series Combat Commander at a bargain price I knew it would go home with me

 

[jay72]

A New Old Stock 629-4 Classic DX in a 6 1/2" barrel in box with all the goodies that come with it as it left the factory.

Why, because it is such a cool revolver that I could not pass up.
