What is the last gun that you bought?

I got $189 back from my previous health ins co. PSA had the KelTec P17 for $179 so I figured free gun. Not quite $179 +18 shipping, 14.50 tax and $35 FOR ffl fee (Just raised from $30+ $5 bgc split out because of denials) for a total of $252. I'm out $63, if it works, worth it. No pic, yet. Joe
 
This Uberti arrived today. It's my first cap and ball revolver. I'm excited to take it out and shoot it.
Also, it was very cool just placing an order and it coming in the mail. I like that.

Don't wait to long. Beretta has a $50 rebate going on it until the end of March.
I got it home and burned 3 mags full through it. I was actually impressed with it. It has a lesser recoil than my Hellcat and made it easy for the followup shot.
Being just a truck gun, I wasn't to concerned about the grip or feel but again, I was impressed with that to.
Another big plus for me was the trigger is short and crisp.
 
Bought this one purely on nostalgia...

A used nickeled Taurus PT92 was the first handgun I bought as a newlywed 21 y.o. in 1992. I put an untold number of rounds through it and it was my CCW for a while (until I got something smaller...a Star PD).

I've been casually looking to pick up another for old times' sake...I've seen a few on GB and local shops but they've all been in pretty rough shape...not unexpected for guns that are 33+ years old.

Found this one on a local gun forum yesterday (he also has a matching 92C listed)

He sent the frame, magazines, Lone Wolf threaded barrel and small parts to be nickel plated by Metalife. He also let me fondle the matching Compact and it was equally as nice...but I've already spent my gun allowance for the month (more, actually) so I'm going to hold off and see if it's still available after payday at the end of the month.


He included a bag and patch he said he does for each of his handguns

Crazy they'll ship those through the mail but not a modern handgun. Both will kill you.

Which model is that, I don't know the pre-cartridge percussion guns as well, but I know Uberti's fit and finish is excellent. I bought a Taylor's (Uberti) 1875 Remington SAA last week to go with my Uberti 1873 SAA. I'm really digging .45 Colt, now have four guns for the cartridge.

I also bought a Ruger MkIII 7" Hunter yesterday at the gun show, been wanting a Hunter for some time.

This is the Colt 1860 Army clone.
I have a thing for civil war era revolvers. This is the first one I've gotten.
The Navies are next on my list, and there are 4 that I want. I want the squareback trigger guard, of which about 2,000 were made in the early models, the regular one with the round trigger guard, the London model with the blued trigger guard and backstrap, and the 1861 model.
Then we'll move on to Remingtons, and then Confederate revolvers like Dance, Griswold etc.

And don't forget, Pietta makes a reproduction LeMat. P.G.T Beauregard, Braxton Bragg and J.E.B. Stuart carried one for at least part of the war.

New Colt AR15A4

New Colts used to come with a sling, two 20 rnd. magazines and a cleaning kit...now you get one PMag and a gun lock.

I've already got several AR's, bought this one "just because". I'm even going to leave it in original configuration.

I really wanted one of these for nostalgia's sake. Carried one around Ft. Benning for a while, after all.
