[Kahr carrier]

Mine will a Les Baer Thunder Ranch what will yours be?? :cool:

[Billy Sparks]

I am hoping for a Sig 226 9mm DAK

[Seven High]

I would like to buy a Sig Mosquito when they make it to the USA. :)

[Rupestris]

If all goes well, Part of my income tax returns will be used on two Springfield XD9's. One in 4" and one in compact 3" for the mrs. Both will be used for our CCW training and as EDC's.
These will probably be the only handguns purchased this year. All other funds will be used on training, range fees and ammo.

[ThirdShiftRich]

I'm ready for an older, all original Browning Hi-Power.

[E36M3]

Nighthawk Enforcer II

[Lennyjoe]

A revolver of some sort. Thinking of a .44 or .454

[charby]

Bought mine yesterday, a used GP-100 4" for $300, less than 300 rounds fired through it.

Charby

[Checkman]

Got it Saturday - A Browning Buckmark Camper. Nothing fancy, but easy on the wallet when it comes to ammo.

[ruger357]

Commander size 1911.

[ObeOne]

Just bought a S&W 1006 and a Colt Combat Commander XSE.
Obe One

[Doug Add]

On a wish list for 2005 thread I posted I want a Marlin 1894C and a Colt Commander. I just found out that the outdoor range here in town closed for good over the holidays--liability issues, I guess the insurance got too expensive for the return he got on shooters using it.

Too bad, as all I have to use now are indoor ranges about an hour away in Raleigh. That sort of takes the wind out of my sails for a lever rifle, so I suppose the 1911 will be next. Of course, my son wants me to get a SIG P220 instead of a 1911, but until he puts up the cash I get to decide what is bought!

[ColtBRH]

Ruger Sp101

[Black Majik]

I want a Kahr PM9 but the SW1911Sc is looking really quite good rite now...

[Black Snowman]

Wherever I find the deal in my big list of "to buy" guns. It has been looking to be a Witness 10mm but rumors are floating about that a CZ 97B in 10mm might be in the works. So, I'm in no rush.

Other posibilities: CZ 75B SA in 40 S&W, CZ 75B SP-01, CZ 97B, Witness 10mm or 45 ACP, Baby Eagle in .45 ACP, a 9mm snubby revo, CZ 75B Compact, S&W 610, S&W model 25 or varient, Witness Elite Limited in 10mm, HK full size or bigger (read USP full size or Mk 23 Mod 0 ;) ) 45 ACP.

Hmm, maybe a pocket pistol or another snubby to. See what deals I can find :)

[tlhelmer]

Sig 228! I pick it up tommorrow! :cool:

[WhoKnowsWho]

Whatever good deal I can wander into that I have some interest in picking up.

[lawboy]

thinking about a s&w 625, or a blackhawk in 357 or 45 colt with beasley grip frame. then again, another hi power would be great too.

[Prof]

A Cimarron stainless Frontier in .357.

[TrapperReady]

If Wisconsin gets CCW, then I may try a Glock 29. Otherwise, no plans at all for 2005. The gun budget will probably be eaten up with shotgun shells and range fees.

Not like that's a bad thing! :D :D

[Dees]

My first of the year will be my first handgun ever, a S&W M60 snubbie. I've got the money, all I've got to do now is turn 21...

[natedog]

Hopefully a 9mm FN MKIII Hi-Power, like this one

http://www.fnhusa.com/contents/guns_1100px/fn_hg_hpsas.jpg

[mmike87]

Probably a SIG P225 - but I bought a lot last year so hopefully I can hold out for a while.

[tim71]

Hopefully mine will be a 6 inch model 57 with original grips.

Tim

[WhoKnowsWho]

Probably a SIG P225

You shouldn't wait, just get it from CDNN right now. It is pretty cheap!

[45Badger]

If all goes well Thursday night, a "T" series Hi Power with three mags in excellent/mint condition (I haven't seen it yet) for $450 :D

[MrTuffPaws]

One Taurus 627 with a 4" barrel.

[Rinspeed]

I have a bunch of handguns but no .22s. I'm thinking maybe a Ruger Single Six with both cylinders.

Rinspeed

[Hawkman]

Mine was yesterday - I had a Kimber Pro CDP that I had customized, then later sold. Of course I regretted the sale, so when I walked into my local shop yesterday and saw it in the case, I bought it back! :D

[Rinspeed]

Did you make any money on the deal :)

[Hawkman]

Me? Make money on a gun deal? You talkin' ta me?

Actually, I exactly broke even. Guy traded it cheap on something else and my dealer (who I list as a dependent on my tax return :D ) gave me a break on it.

[AlienSoul]

The end of this week I am ordering a Walther P99 in 9mm.
It will be my first handgun so I am pretty excited.
:D

[riverdog]

Right now I'm thinking a Beretta 87 Cheetah .22LR would be nice. I haven't had a new .22 in a long time.

Anyone have any bad words regarding the Cheetah?

[Sinbad]

I have been having trouble with my arthritic hip, so to take my mind off the pain in my hip I just picked up a FEG F9M-pjk and it is a miracle, the bite in the web of my thumb is more severe than the hip. But it shoots great.

[KevinB]

I'm going to get a S&W 442 or 340PD in a few months. Need to go handle both and see if I can find any deals. Whichever one I end up getting I'm planning to put a pair of crimson trace grips on it. Hopefully it will be my "always" gun.


-Kevin

[stevelyn]

Browning Buckmark Standard for me. Just too many things around here needing shot requiring a .22lr pistol. :D

[1911_sfca]

Ruger MK II - Team USA special edition.

Kimber Tactical Pro II.

In 10 day waiting period. I pick up a Remington 870E defender in a few days so that should hold me over.

[10-Ring]

Me, I think it will be a HK USPc 45...still haven't decided blue or stainless tho!

[jojosdad]

Getting a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 with an extra 9mm cylinder in 10 days (stupid CA waiting period). Looking for a .22 semiauto pistol next - either a High Standard or Ruger Mark II.

[McCall911]

First things first: I need to obtain membership at a decent range in the Birmingham, Alabama area so I can shoot the stuff I already have!

[mjb]

On Jan 3 I purchased a Colt Double Eagle in 10mm. :D :D :D :D

[DenStag]

Glock 34 with high cap mags for competition

[Ankeny]

STI .38 Super OPen blaster from Triangle Shooting Sports. At three grand and change, that's the gun budget for the year.

[Frandy]

On Jan 4, I picked up a new H&K USP 45 Compact. Sweetness! :D

[threefeathers]

Refurbished Sig 226.

[Curare]

First (and last) purchase of '05. I can't believe I found a vintage Chantilly era P7M8 in unfired condition with all accoutrements--10 minutes from my house. Gotta love the 20 year old factory nights sights.

It will be unfired for the next 12 hours! :D

P7M8 with Swiss shot clock (http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=1453307&postcount=2)

[bpisler]

I just got home with my first handgun of 2005.It's a S&W 625-7 3" N frame chambered in 45 colt,it cost me $539.00 and it's NIB.

[Dees]

Nevermind the M60, a Kahr K9 will be my first.

[FunGunner]

All the parts for a single stack Caspian 9mm build, hopefully.

[Alaskanmonte]

I need a nice .22 LR Pistol. I'm thinking of a Ruger Mark III in SS with a bull barrel. (I can't figure out why I don't have one yet)

[AirForceShooter]

Springer 1911, WWII

I need one soo bad

AFS

[BlkHawk73]

Well, was supposed to be a HK P2000sk in 9mm but ended up being a HK P9S in 9mm instead. The P2SK will likely have to wait until April now after bonuses are out.

[Ringer]

When this thread was first opened I was pretty undecided. Now I'm fairly certain I'll be picking up a G23 in the next couple weeks. Local shop/range is having "Glock Days" so they will be discounted, plus a free T-shirt :cool:. Unless I change my mind and go for a G30, either way been wanting to add a Glock to my (small) collection.

[bookman]

Picked up a 92FS :) been wanting one of those.And dang I shoot it better than I do my Hi-power and I have small hands...

[mrkubota]

Pick up a S&W 500 next week... thinking about a .454 for next month...(doggone CA one-gun-month)

[JeepDriver]

Bought it yesterday,

HK USP in 40. Came with 3 LE marked 13 rounders Paid $630

[litework]

I'm trying to find a Colt NRM. I'll take either a series 70 or series 80 (whichever I find first). I really don't want another stainless steel model and that seems to be what everyone has.

[Gunsnrovers]

Picked up a Springfield GI on January 2nd (or I should say I paid for one and am waiting out my PRK 10 days....) :)

[George S.]

I got tired of trying to comfortably carry either my 1911 or Ruger P89 so Saturday I found a Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro that was calling my name.

I had shot a few hundred rounds from a friends PT145 and I was suprised how accurate it was for a small barrel and I didn't have any problems with it. No failures of any kind with a mix of bullet weights and types. For having a 10-round double-stack mag, I found it nice that the width of the grip is only about 1 1/8"!!

[Universal]

Either a new GLOCK 17 or a used SIG 226.

[Bearlaker]

A Ruger P89, 93, 94, or 95.

[Stasher1]

I've got a CZ 40P on lay-away right now, and I'll have it in my sweaty hands by the end of the week. :)

Then I need to replace the P32 I gave to my father...maybe one in hard chrome this time...

[mbott]

I've got a CZ 40P on lay-away right now, and I'll have it in my sweaty hands by the end of the week.

Excellent choice. Very accurate CZ. I might suggest a stronder recoil spring, like something in the 20lb to 22lb range from Wolff Gunsprings. If you decide to get one, you will want to order one for the full-size CZ 75B. You will need to trim a few coils off one end for it to work. I took off 4 which is about average for those who have replaced recoils springs.

As for me, my next purchase will be the CZ 75 Compact .40.

Mike

[Langenator]

I've pretty much got all the affordable pistols I want. (Sorry, I'm not laying out $1200 for the Kimber Eclipse 10mm Limited Edition).

Only two on the list right now:

Bulgarain Makarov
CZ-52 (or two)

[Ala Dan]

a very minty S&W Airweight model 37

Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member

[Rogerwilco]

Already bought 2...Ruger P95 and Makarov 9x18.......CZ40P coming soon :D

[Stasher1]

As for me, my next purchase will be the CZ 75 Compact .40.

I couldn't wait till the end of the week, so I went down to my dealer and picked it up today. I already ordered a couple of the stainless rods from MSC to replace the guide rod (in case I screw one up) and I'll be ordering my new recoil spring sometime this week.

If everything goes as planned I'll be able to test fire it later this week or early next week....

[hairtrigger]

I just confirmed my purchase of a Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull

[bnolsen]

Umm....just started moving on buying an EAA Witness 10mm compact wonder finish. So much for the New Year's resolution (they're meant to be broken anyways, right?)

[esskay]

Kimber TLE/RL II! :)

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=20921

[bnolsen]

That grip looks strange....and it's making me hungry...

[Lennyjoe]

Previous quote;
A revolver of some sort. Thinking of a .44 or .454

Ok, so I was wrong. I picked up a Taurus 24/7 in 45ACP. I couldnt pass it up. Got it on sale for $375 and thought I'd give it a try.

http://www.taurususa.com/imagesMain/H_24-745ss.jpg

[TonyB]

XD 40 subcompact.....just need to scrounge the money.... ;)

[GEM]

What's a Sig mosquito?

Anyway:

I can't decide -

A. Springfield 1911 - should have a 1911
B. Glock 26 as compliment to my 19
C. Kahr PM9 - alternative smaller 9mm which might be pocketable unlike Glock
D. SW 432 - just because!

Can't get them all or will see outraged wife!! I think I can manage two!

[R.H. Lee]

I'm thinkin' about a revolver with a 6" barrel. Maybe a GP100.

[JMLV]

most of them costing about half as much as a normal gun some as much. My first real gun this year will be a polymar framed Ruger 9mm auto with 2 10 round magazines. (the seller is keeping the 15 rounder that origionally came with the gun but giving me an additional 10 rounder to make up for it. (Since the AWB is history and I can buy all the 15 or even 32 round magazines I want I am OK with that). Last years only firearm purchaces were the airweight bodyfuard and a 6.5" custom barrel for my contender in 9mm. (I like to buy the inexpensive 9mm from walMart so its a cheap to shoot caliber thus the new guns in that caliber{9mm}).

[Seafarer]

I was thinking of a new Ruger Mark 3 Hunter. I know about all the new lawyer stuff, just want a neat .22 plinker.
But then I saw the 13 page stream of .45's and am catching the 1911 fever. Will it be as bad as the N frame fever was?

[Black Snowman]

Just arrived. Blued CZ 97B made in late 1998. A thing of beauty! Pictures coming tonight to a thread near you ;)

[Richard.Howe]

It was a new Les Baer SRP. :D

[P. Plainsman]

Probably a rather serious little purchase -- a new S&W 642 with a laser grip -- which I'll make around the time I get my CCW permit this spring.

However, I might get antsy before then and buy the first fun gun of the year, a new case-colored blued Ruger Single Six in .32 H&R Mag. :)

[cidirkona]

My first purchase of 2005 was a p22 and a p3AT simultaniously.

-Colin

[mbott]

My CZ 75 Compact .40 arrived today. :)

Now I have to wait until Friday to get it to the range.

--
Mike

[Missouri Mule]

Kahr P345 or a G36

[5x5]

Two trades actually. Netted me a Kel-tec P3AT and a Kahr K40. Sweeeeet! :evil:
-Ian

[esskay]

That grip looks strange....and it's making me hungry...

They are Simonich Gunner grips (http://www.simonichknives.com/gunner.htm). These are the grips used on the MCSOCOM Det1 Kimber 1911s (http://www.1911og.org/forum/showthread.php?t=453). They are quite nice, I have two 1911s with these type of grips.

[Aahzz]

Mine was a 3913, picked up Monday, followed by a P3AT, picked up last night.

[bigmike45]

Well I finally did it. After looking for just the right compact .45acp to back up my primary .45acp weapons I finally made my first purchase for 2005. I had gone to San Antonio to see my son who attends college there and stopped by Academy Sporting Goods to look an any new guns that were available. I picked up one that I have been looking at possibly buying and the one I was holding had a chrome slide. I don't want a chrome slide in my BUG. I overheard someone mention a pretty good size gunshow in town this weekend at the Shriners Temple. I went there and what a great show for being in such a small place. I found what I was looking for....a Taurus PT145 Millineum Pro in all black. I have been reading the forums, talking to TMP owners and asking at my local gunstores as to their quality. I have heard good and bad.....as I have about my SIG's, Springfield Armouries, Para Ordnances and Kel-Tec P11 as well. Well the gun, brand new was laying there calling to me at $275.00. This was $75.00 cheaper than anywhere else I have seen this gun and the dealer threw in an extra 10 rd mag at no extra cost. God I love plastic.....I am refering to my credit card!!! So off I go to the range next week to burn her in and test her for reliability before replacing the Kel-Tec with her for pocket carry in my office, and as my BUG at other times.

[deputy tom]

What WhoKnowsWho said.tom. ;)

[cls12vg30]

First gun purchase of 2005 will be a p32, I plan on trading in my
Beretta 21A .25 on one in the next few weeks, depending on what I find.

[Ford]

Well last month I ordered a Dan Wesson Gloabl Hunter. It's a Longslide 10mm.

Link to a pic. THis gun isn't mine, but from another member of a forum.

Dan Wesson Gloabl Hunter (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ford1911@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=25a4&.dnm=f644.jpg&.src=ph)

[Zach S]

I thought I answered this one? May have been a simular thread in General.

Anyway, mine was another Series I Kimber. Classic Stainlss. Got it at the end of January. I guess its a nice addition to its little brother, the Compact Stainelss, and its half-israeli brother, the Polymer Stainless.

[Old Fud]

I don't have a Browning High-power,
I don't have a Browning Buck Mark, and
I don't have a Kahr PM9.

I am only permitted one in March.
Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

Fud

[LSCurrier]

I'd like a S&W .44 cal Mountain Gun.

[Richard.Howe]

My first new purchase of 2005 was a new SRP. Bought it on 8-Jan, shot it once, and immediately sent it back to Les Baer for a couple of changes: hard chrome (T-Chrome), and single-sided safety.

So, I've only put 500 rounds through it and held it for one week. And it's been gone ever since.

Can't wait until March 15 when it returns!

[308win]

Just got it yesterday - an XD9 Sub-compact.

[xv920j]

Got it last week. Para Carry c6-45lda.

[T.Stahl]

If I buy a handgun at all this year, it will be a 6" Hämmerli X-esse (= SIG Trailside) in .22lr for cheap practice, training novices and plinking.

[HKGuns]

HK P2000SK in 9mm.

[omega5]

I bought a Glock m33 .357Sig and a NAA .17HMR Black Widow. :D

[Invisible Swordsman]

Picked up earlier today--S&W model 10-5, 2 inch barrel, square butt, blued. It's been on lay-away for a couple of months. :)

[DMF]

Most likely my one and only purchase for 2005 will be a Sig Mosquito .22LR, when it is available in April. Other than that I will be busy with my 1911 projects.

[fletcher]

My first handgun of '05 (and first one ever) will be a 3" GP-100, stainless.

[Marvin Gardens]

I bought mine last week, a S&W 16-3, .32 S&W. I have been looking for one of these for a long time and was a pretty happy camper when I finally ran across a nice one.

Marvin.

[TonyB]

I had every intention of getting the XD40 subcompact...then my gun money went to fix my car...$500......so I ended up getting a Taurus/Rossi 461..I'm picking it up today and heading to the range..:)

[4v50 Gary]

Bought a Broomhandle Mauser with shoulder stock holster from member Handy. Thanks Handy! :)

[sturmruger]

I am still waiting to get my XD9 Tactical. I am sending payment on Friday.

[GEM]

I read that SW is coming out with a new version of the Model 63- J frame 22 LR with an 8 shot cylinder - who knows if that is true but if it is, I'm interested.

What's a Sig Mosquito? I asked that before but I don't think I got an answer.

However, the first new gun will be some kind of 1911. Probably a Springfield.

[Harry Paget Flashman]

I bought a Glock 17C from Glockmeister after New Years after treating myself to a used Glock 22C from CDNN for Christmas. Wife wasn't particularly happy with it but when I rationalized..."Two hands, two Glocks" she didn't have a snappy comeback and was unable to refute my logic.

Doubt if it will work on Kimbers.

[Trumpet]

Hmmm lets see....

Two on the same day last month.
1)HK USP 45
2) Ruger KMK512

Up next?

Nighthawk Customs Talon due next month :D



Rich

[RandyB]

Just bought this one a Ruger SP-101. This is the 3rd one I've bought, was stupid and sold the other two, including one of the 1st runs in .357 with the "125 grain only" label in 3 inch.

[DWS1117]

Have a Kimber Ultra Carry in law-a-way right now. Should have it out in march. Just in time for my CHL to arrive.

[12 Gauge]

Just picked up my first purchase.... S&W 1911 SC. :)
