Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's your most recent firearm acquisition?

Horse trade, hand me down, swapped for precious metals or bought with your wife's greenbacks...what's the newest addition to your safe?

Mine is a 629 6.5 inch purchased and picked up today. Yep it's new with the hillary hole... But, since we're shooting 38 specials tomorrow, I'll have to lust for some 44 range time next week.

What's yours?

PS For you tin foil hatters out there...we all know that firearms cited in this thread were immediately lost during a boat mooring accident while preparing for the Hurricane headed to Flave's house.

A Kimber Subalpine 30-06 I bought in Idaho a month or so ago. I'll mount a 1.5-8X Vortex Razor on it tomorrow.

Waiting on a Springfield M1 Garand in excellent condition.

AR-15 pistol put together from parts.

I posted this is the handgun forum the other day. My newest gun is a Sig P320X Macro that I bought Thursday.

I was at the store to do an efile for a form 4 and impulse bought it not knowing anything about it.

I’m really liking the gun. It’s flat in profile and slim but holds 17 rounds of 9x19 with pretty good factory night sites, a good trigger for a striker fire, optic ready, and feels great in the hand while not being a whole lot bigger than a pocket gun.

Two 1911's today.

Preowned unfired 1911 SA RO Elite target .45acp

Used 1911 SA loaded SS 9mm

Purchased a new Benelli super black eagle 3 in left hand earlier this month.

Today, a used New England single-shot 12ga. I suppose there could be simpler bang for the buck, but, not much.

I picked up a 77 tanger in .257 Roberts.

I paid about a hunnert bucks more for it than it was worth, but IDGAF. I wanted it and they don’t come up on the block very often.

It’s a beaut, especially if you’re a 77 fan.

Blueing is deep.

I picked up a sweet little Winchester 37 in 410 about three weeks ago.
I killed a couple of squirrels with it last week.
The boys were patterning their shotguns today in preparation for an upcoming bird hunt so I cut me a target and took my turn at the bench from 25 yards.
It threw an absolute beautiful pattern; a lot better than my 370.

S&W 637 for the wife. Great pocket carry.

Back in June.....picked up a SA XD-M compact 45 w/Hex red dot

Liked it so well....ordered another the same pistol in 9mm w/Hex red dot

Never realized the red dot would be so easy to shoot......and hit with

The SA META trigger is awesome too..both with 3.8" barrels

15 rd extended mags in 45......19 rds in the 9mm

LOL 😂

Having a hard time not ordering a 10mm

Is there a help group for people like me

yea yea yea

The XD is a fine plastic weapon. I have one that started life as a tactical 45 - now 45 super that has stood up to a couple thousand rounds of my heavy foot on the gas.

Fed's couldn't handle the 10mm

So they went to the 40

Now they are with the 9mm

pussies

My first thought as well. - Fuqh it.

I think that the last gun that I bought was a S&W Model 629 4" barrel stainless .44 magnum. I have two other Ruger SBH .44 mag pistols, but I thought the smaller S&W would be easier to carry.

I put a trigger spring kit in my S&W that considerably lightened the trigger, and it has become one of my favorite pistols to carry in the woods. It is one of the guns that I take to the range almost every week, and I enjoy shooting .44 Special loads through it at my 8" steel gong at 25 yards.

I've also carried in on my last two Alaskan hunts.

Got a 629 that needs a red dot.
Haven’t bought anything in a while but a benelli M4 is in my future. Last thing I bought was a steyr scout in .308 on a local online auction site. Got notification I’d won it for $1,000 and seriously don’t ever remember seeing it, much less bidding on it. Drinking makes a lot of days like Christmas when cool purchases show up in the mail unexpectedly
