Here's the one my wife purchased to celebrate the ruling. I'm still looking for mine. :D

I'm not sure this pistol is at all practical, but it is a pretty neat little piece of machinery.

Found a very nice CZ40B with wood grips and Tritium sights at the local gun show on Saturday. Had one fellow bad-mouthing me as I walked away with it in my bag (bet I beat him to it).
 
With money getting tighter all the time, and ammunition prices what they are, if I buy anything it's going to be some "Heller ammo" - not another gun.
 
I'm picking up two silencers and my 40mm grenade launcher later today. :)

Not quite a handgun, but one of the silencers goes on my 9mm handguns. :D
 
Waiting on a reimbursement cheque to come in and refill my account with the money I spent for business, so my Heller Handgun will be delayed. When that does come in though I'm back and forth between a CZ RAMI or a Bersa 380. I really like the RAMI, but it might be too thick for a summer CCW.

Not interested in a polymer sub-compact as their lack of weight tends to make them feel less secure to me. Love my full-size polymer M&P for winter carry though.
 
I closed the deal on an XD9 subcompact the day after, although it had been in the works for a few weeks.
 
I went to the Heller gun show to utilize the...:D loop hole :D...but didn't find anything to my liking...:banghead: First time that ever happened.
 
Picked up a Ruger Charger on the day. Figured it was a good pistol to annoy an anti. :D
 
I WAS going to get a new Heller commemorative handgun -- either a Ruger GP100 or an SP101 -- but bought an AR-15 rifle instead.

Since Scalia mentioned allowing "reasonable restrictions" on gun ownership, I am betting the Clinton "assault weapons" ban will come back on Obama's coattails. Hope I'm wrong.
 
Sorry, it's not a "Heller handgun" unless it holds less than 12 rounds, at least according to Mayor Fenty.

I already have the steel lip bannana mags. :evil:
 
It's not for defense, I have that covered, but I'm gonna pick up a S&W 17 or 617 this week in celebration of Heller. Gunshop has them both in the case and I've been going back and forth on which to choose.
 
I got my tax stimulus check about a week before Heller, so I went gun shopping. I didn't see anthing I wanted immediately, so I ordered a Ruger New Vaquero in .45 Colt, Stainless Steel 7.5" barrel. I picked it up on the day the Supreme Court decision came down.
 
I was on a cruise in the Bahamas for my honeymoon all last week. I spent most of Thursday sitting in our stateroom on the ship watching CNN (fortunately my wife knew how enthusastic I am on gun rights issues before she married me, so she didn't get too irritated). Just yesterday I bought myself a beautiful Colt 1991 commander, both as a wedding present for myself and as a celebration of the Heller decision. Tonight my wife and I will put it through it's paces at the range. God bless America's 1st freedom!
 
I went out and purchased a SW 642. Never had a snub nose before.

Took it shooting and it works real well.
 
No, but I did pick up a stripped lower and two 30-round mags for an AR.

I hear you. My gun purchases are nearing an end for a while. I'm trying to get an AR built, but that's all I need. Well, I may need a Remington 870, but that's all I need. And, then maybe a Ruger GP100 if I can scrape up the dough. But, that's all I need.:evil:

I wish the election was two years from now so I could get over this feeling of being rushed into buying everything I want in the next few months. I'm trying to buy the 'evil' stuff first so I can get back to handguns.
 
I celebrated by firing full-auto weapons for the first time:D

A vintage MP-40 and an M4:)

I also just picked up two pistols today I bought before the ruling...a nickel S&W 39-2 and Colt 1991A1 Compact.

I just put a Colt Commander on layaway yesterday, does that count? I've got some minor tweaks in mind for this one and then it'll be my new carry gun.

Thinking I'll bobtail it and set it up as close to my NHC T3 as possible: Straight Eights, crowned barrel, 3.5 - 4 lb trigger, etc.
