Oh, jeez.... Multiple Webley Mk. IVs, Tokarevs, Makarovs, Ruger GP-100s, Walther PPs, Colt Trooper Mk. IIIs, S&W 1917s and Model 19s, Sig P225s, 239s, and 229s. Some I'm no doubt forgetting. Sometimes the one I've landed on is nicer than the ones I previously owned, sometimes not. The one...

Had a .40 A-75 that was a fine reliable little pistol. Wanted an A-70, but have never seen one for sale in person.

That said, if you have multiple nice 92s a beater is always going to be the red-headed stepchild and lose its appeal rather quickly. That might just be me. I want even the guns I’ve relegated to “beater” roles to look nice and hang on to some resale value.

455 beat me to it. In this instance “previous-generation” means “not a polystriker”, full stop. It’s an odd reason to disparage the 92.

That’s extremely cool. Probably has as interesting a history as a non-military rifle can have.

At last count there are at least 5 women at my workplace that have Sig P365’s. Rose or not, they must appeal to women.

FTX. Though, to be honest, not because I know that it’s a great man-stopper but because it functions flawlessly in my other .380’s.

Pretty much. Magpuls can be bought like a gas station Butterfinger. Original FN 1900 magazines, not so much. I try to have at least 3 for every semi-auto. HD and CCW pistols at least 4 or 5.

Here it is. Half Mobil 1, half ATF. Works great. I’ve never had a speck of rust from corrosive ammo.

Gotta agree with trackskippy. Nice S&W and Colt revolvers seem to be as expensive as ever. I’ve lucked into a few deals in the last couple of years but it sure doesn’t look like the days of the $600-700 K-frame have passed.

It looked better than fair but I didn’t ask to handle it. No, just that Smith and two nice heavy-barrel Model 10’s for $650 each.

I do on single-actions but not doubles. Unless they’re pre-war. I saw a S&W 1905 .38 Special with a 7.5” barrel at the LGS today that I would have snapped up if I hadn’t been on a gun buying tear recently. $360 at East County Guns in Centralia, Mark_Mark!

That was a great buy, Mark!

Exactly. I bought my 442 after giving up my search for a decent, affordable, 49. Yes a 442 may make more sense than a 49, but it doesn’t have a tenth of the character.

This is the looker of my .380’s but there’s an RM380 in my pocket when there isn’t a Nano and a S&W EZ in the safe waiting for my infirm old age. Oops, I forgot about the Beretta 70S. So maybe the Walther isn’t the looker….

You didn’t overpay. Certainly not given the condition. The other day I was looking at an old THR thread where the member paid $825 for a minty non-import marked East German Mak. It was exactly what he wanted but, unsurprisingly, some people gave him grief for paying so much. It made me laugh...

I've had both. There's nothing wrong with the Mini, but the AR is more gun where you want it to be, in less gun where you want it to be. If that makes any sense.

Funny how prices vary so much by region. Every one of the guns the OP mentions would cost, at least, twice as much here. Even at a fair-minded gun shop.

Funny. I also thought the thread title was a reference to Mark_Mark. Like you accidentally bought a pristine .32-20 Hand Ejector when you stopped at a corner store to grab a Diet Pepsi or something…
