Your most satisfying gun purchase of 2009?

[Roger_H]

I had a long slide STI built in 9mm and it has become my favorite gun in the safe.

Charles Daly VR-MC Youth 20 ga autoloader. Not the best purchase of the year, but my daughter couldn't have been more excited.

Her excitement when she broke her first clay with it was almost as satisfying.

Brand Spanking new Springfield Armory 1911A1 (Loaded Model ) Ive been chasing a 1911 for over a year now, couldnt find the one I wanted, unplanned trip to local gunshop changed all of that ..

sw40ve very accurate

 

[DougJ]

This One:

Kimber Custom II Commemorative done during my last deployment to Iraq. The serial numbers are ICO185-XX to represent our Unit: I Company, 185th Aviation. The engraving is all nice, and the engraving on the grips is rendered from a picture taken of me flying the airplane a couple of years ago.

It's a great shooter too!

 

[gidaeon]

hmmm.. either my dime a dozen Mosin Nagant 91/30 or the Marlin mod. 60.
Both were under $80 and I'm on a very tight budget, okay I choose the marlin!

 

[61chalk]

My first M1 Garand...Nov. 1942 SA from N.Store CMP, an letting a WWII Vet
hold it his hands for the first time since that war.....PRICELESS...but that story
is on another thread...

 

[Major Kong]

Dan Wesson CCO. Spent a good part of the year just trying to find one to buy.

 

[CJCmajor]

smith and wesson 642. i love this firearm.

 

[Glockman17366]

I bought a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible (.45 Colt/.45ACP), a Ruger New Vaquero .357 with a 5½" barrel and a Ruger LCP.

Cosmetically, the New Vaquero is the most satisfying. The LCP is the most used, however as it's a BUG for my primary carry piece.

 

[Kingofthehill]

Too many favorites to list... but best purchase of 09' is probably my Dan Wesson 1911 PM-7 10mm.... Followed closely by my Desert Eagle and S&W M&P Magpul Edition and Steyr M9~!

[hicksdm]

My almost NIB Glock 27 for $150. Friend wanted to get rid of it before his soon to be ex wife. I felt guilty but he set the price and would not take more.

 

[Maj Dad]

I didn't think so at the time, but I now consider my winner for '09 a new Glock 21 (stolen for $440 ) with replacement of springs, lightened connector, addition of a polished hardened steel guide rod and TiN extractor plunger, and the realization that loaded it weighs less than my Combat Commander and easily shoots as accurately. Shooting for over 50 years, reloading over 40, and it's my first Glock... won't be the last, either

(Love those double diamonds, King!)

Plz check my posting on "Why the Bling." I put up pix of my profusely engraved S&W 650, with both cylinders and polymer "bone" grips.

$400.00 S&W Model 41.

 

[7.62x54mmR]

This. Ruger 10/22 Archangel kit w/ NcSTAR MIII tactical Scope

 

[Zach S]

The only thing I got was a 7.62 Saiga, and the parts to convert it.

 

[dcl]

best buy,and most satisfying gun purchase of the year was the 3 digit ruger 44 flattop that I bought at auction. Final bid. $400!!! Didn't think that was too bad of a deal at all. Have a great Christmas. dave

 

[MKC]

Busy year for me:
Two Remington 870's.
Smith-Wesson Sigma 40VE
Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308 - no scope yet
Smith-Wesson 66-5

So far have spent most time with the SW40VE getting acquainted with the .40 recoil and handling. Love the increased foot pounds over 9mm.

 

[rhinoh]

Taurus PT1911 ALR was the most satisfying, so far it has been flawless.
Least satisfying was a Sig P238...regret that one now, too many problems with it.

So hows that for irony- a Sig POS and an Excellent TAURUS!

 

[Cowboybootnut]

I made three gun purchases in 2009, and very pleased with all of them.
Glock 19
Glock 21 SF
SA XD 45
