Stogie Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 My last was a GSG STG-44 in 22lr. I know it's a gimmick gun but I love the STG-44 and will never be able to buy a real one. Haven't fired it yet as I just bought a new house. Moving sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received this fine revolver in April, 2018. It replace a Model 17 that I had given to a good Army buddy of mine upon his retirement from the US Army. Earlier in our military careers, my buddy and I were visiting an uncle of mine in the panhandle of Oklahoma. One of those days, we went hunting prairie dogs and I watched my buddy take my Model 17-3 and kill a prairie dog at a 97 paces (almost 100 yards). My buddy assumed a sitting position, two-handed hold, with arms resting on his knees. Shooting single-action, his first shot was just slightly high. The second shot hit the dog but didn't kill it and it started crawling back to its hole. His quick third shot dispatched the critter. That was the best shooting exhibitions I have ever seen with a .22 LR revolver!! Ever since that day, my buddy had coveted my Model 17 and we often talked about that day he killed the prairie dog at 97 paces. So upon his retirement from the US Army, I gave my buddy my Model 17-3. So after several years, I replaced the Model 17-3 with this fine Model 17-4. S&W Model 17-4 "K22 Masterpiece" in .22 Long Rifle This revolver is also a Tack Driver! It's much more accurate than I'm capable of shooting it. Wonderful revolver it is one of my preferred wheel guns in .22 cal.. The 17- K22 Masterpiece has a special charm and shoot incredible well. Btw, congratulations for a great friendship. czhen FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Browning 'BAR' semi-auto rifle, wood-stocked, in .300 Win Mag, a few months ago. A fine rifle. I wish Browning wouldn't call it a BAR, which, of course, it's not. Marketing; bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Just picked up a Winchester 94 in .30-30. I got it from a guy I work with. His mom had bought two of them in the early 70s. This one was his dad's. It has had a total of two rounds thru it and is brand spanking new looking. Had an offer on it but I'm thinking of putting a .38-55 barrel on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Okay, the grammar police have effectively busted my chops. I will humbly try to make amends for my error. I have now edited the title and question. I have removed the word LAST and replaced it with LATEST. But please, give me a little slack. I had a difficult childhood. You may not have known this, but my mother died six months before I was born and left me to raise my younger brother and sister all by myself. Life does have it's difficulties.

Pay Dirt Norvelle #90056 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I don't have a picture yet as I can't do the paperwork yet here in California. It is a Beretta 92FS Brigadier in 9mm. The reason I couldn't do the paperwork is due to the fact that I just bought a reproduction (Uberti) 1875 Remington Revolver in 45 Colt and you can only buy one handgun every 30 days in the PRK which is a lot of bologna.

Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Can't remember the last gun I bought, but my wife had her eye on this Glock 42 for herself. Since moving from CA to Utah this year I didn't have a gun in mind. When she said she wanted this one we went to the local ACE HARDWARE and brought this home. No waiting period, just the background check and we took it home. Living in a free state is good. This just made me remember the last gun I bought. Went to my local gun store to buy a Uberti 1873 carbine in 45colt. Didn't have one stock but the guy helping me said he had a 66 in 38-40. New and unfired. He wanted $675. So, $1050 for a new 73 or $675 for a new 66, guess which one I bought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Picked up a Charter Arms 38 special in stainless steel. Two reasons: 1. I always wanted one... probably because I watched way too many cop and detective shows where everybody had snub nosed 38's... and after careful review I realized that I didn't actually own any double action revolvers (my ivory grip S&W #4 that was my grandmother's doesn't count, but here is a picture of it).
