I have no wife, but by buying S&W firearm I have been able to stay off the H&Rs.
I just picked up a CZ75B Omega. Will be shooting it this Friday. Today I threw in a bid on a mint Beretta 92F/S from Gunbroker and won it even though I thought I would be outbid. That is to replace one I sold a few years back that I regretted selling. 2 guns from my want list. It'll be a while until I get more

Can't believe that I am back so soon.
Picked up a Beretta Pico .380 today, and also ordered an FDE grip frame from Beretta in order to practice some texturing. Seems to be a real nice compact pistol. Build quality is very good. The pistol has some quirks, like the mag release and the pinky extender on the extra mag. I am wondering why they didn't make that mag larger capacity instead of the stock 6 rounds.

I’ve shot the Pico and the Nano. I think they are well made but I don’t care for them because, the point down for me. The Nano points so low, I worry that I might shoot my self in the foot. The Pico is even worse. When I shoot a Pico, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to have kids again.
I hope it doesn’t point to low for you.

I got a Winchester 94 lever action .30-30 this past Saturday.
Partly to commemorate my late Grandma, who was 95 when she passed recently. I thought it was a fitting way for me to honor her, given my hobby.
I consider both the cartridge and the person to be American classics.

Love my Pico!
I think they decided not to make two different mag bodies for budgetary reasons, the only difference between the two is the baseplate. I really like how every part is steel except the grip module. Great little pistol!

That was one thing that I checked. Did the eyes closed, bring it up, open eyes routine, and it seemed OK for me. Thanks for your concern.I’ve shot the Pico and the Nano.

Squirt gun for spraying tree's
Do share that in the .41 Mag thread.
I picked this up at a local gunstore. Some of you might remember seeing one of these in your last Georgia staycation . It would have been an involuntary staycation as this is a Georgia Department of Corrections pistol. I did not like the vintage S&W grips, I installed Pachmayr clamshells. I have another, blued M10, but the price was right, the firing pin is on the hammer, and I love the weight, balance, and ergonomics of these K frame pistols. A 38 Special is mild mannered, I don't get beat up. I love the things.
It shot well enough out to fifty yards. I am a bit out of practice, but it will hold 12" in an offhand position, which is a lot farther than any reasonable person would use a handgun in a self defense situation.

An NM Springfield 1911a1, looks to be a Mil spec, wearing the parked finish, used but not terribly. $500 with 5 assorted mags, no box. I didn't steal it, but I think I did OK

Today I bought the Springfield "Saint" model AR-15. It's the first M4 style carbine I bought with the mid length (I think that's what it's called) gas system. Has T marked receiver rail, MOE handguard, F marked front sight tower, collapsable metal rear buis, M4 type bolt carrier, and H marked buffer. It looks like a nice well made carbine.
Gotta put it through some paces.
Yea...I know the name is silly. Do you judge a book by its cover?

Last gun I bought was a Vickers Edition Glock 17. My first Glock. Have to say, it's a nice piece. I had to do a relief cut on the underside of the trigger guard. Stupid finger grooves just didn't match up to my hand. Previous owner put night sights, and a Vogle trigger too. I like it enough that it has replaced my 1911 as my daily carry gun. I can put my TLR1 on it, it's lighter, and carries more ammo. My 1911 is now my "dress" gun.
