Here's the one my wife purchased to celebrate the ruling. I'm still looking for mine. :D

I'm not sure this pistol is at all practical, but it is a pretty neat little piece of machinery.

[Sebastian the Ibis]

I went Heller trap shooting.

I should have bought a Heller recoil pad :mad:

[Cliff47]

Found a very nice CZ40B with wood grips and Tritium sights at the local gun show on Saturday. Had one fellow bad-mouthing me as I walked away with it in my bag (bet I beat him to it).

[General Geoff]

Not so much a Heller handgun, more of an Independence Day handgun, but I'm picking up a S&W model 610 revolver on the 4th. :)

[Owen Meany]

With money getting tighter all the time, and ammunition prices what they are, if I buy anything it's going to be some "Heller ammo" - not another gun.

[PTK]

I'm picking up two silencers and my 40mm grenade launcher later today. :)

Not quite a handgun, but one of the silencers goes on my 9mm handguns. :D

[hankdatank1362]

Bought a Walther P22 on Heller Day! (30 min before the decision was handed down!)

[357WheelGun]

Waiting on a reimbursement cheque to come in and refill my account with the money I spent for business, so my Heller Handgun will be delayed. When that does come in though I'm back and forth between a CZ RAMI or a Bersa 380. I really like the RAMI, but it might be too thick for a summer CCW.

Not interested in a polymer sub-compact as their lack of weight tends to make them feel less secure to me. Love my full-size polymer M&P for winter carry though.

[skinewmexico]

No, but my G-code AK showed up the same day.

[Airman193SOS]

I closed the deal on an XD9 subcompact the day after, although it had been in the works for a few weeks.

[GingerGuy]

I went to the Heller gun show to utilize the...:D loop hole :D...but didn't find anything to my liking...:banghead: First time that ever happened.

[Myself]

Picked up a Ruger Charger on the day. Figured it was a good pistol to annoy an anti. :D

[FullEffect1911]

I picked up a 629-2 in great condition on Heller Day. My first square butt smith.

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Picked up a Ruger Charger on the day.

Sorry, it's not a "Heller handgun" unless it holds less than 12 rounds, at least according to Mayor Fenty.

[BikerNut]

I WAS going to get a new Heller commemorative handgun -- either a Ruger GP100 or an SP101 -- but bought an AR-15 rifle instead.

Since Scalia mentioned allowing "reasonable restrictions" on gun ownership, I am betting the Clinton "assault weapons" ban will come back on Obama's coattails. Hope I'm wrong.

[Myself]

Sorry, it's not a "Heller handgun" unless it holds less than 12 rounds, at least according to Mayor Fenty.

I already have the steel lip bannana mags. :evil:

[HuntAndFish]

It's not for defense, I have that covered, but I'm gonna pick up a S&W 17 or 617 this week in celebration of Heller. Gunshop has them both in the case and I've been going back and forth on which to choose.

[redraidermgr]

I got a S&W M&P and the wife got a Beretta Tomcat.

[Piraticalbob]

I got my tax stimulus check about a week before Heller, so I went gun shopping. I didn't see anthing I wanted immediately, so I ordered a Ruger New Vaquero in .45 Colt, Stainless Steel 7.5" barrel. I picked it up on the day the Supreme Court decision came down.

[AZAndy]

I celebrated by buying a Russian Makarov on Saturday. Now I gotta find some American parts to put on it. ;-)

[ochmude]

I was on a cruise in the Bahamas for my honeymoon all last week. I spent most of Thursday sitting in our stateroom on the ship watching CNN (fortunately my wife knew how enthusastic I am on gun rights issues before she married me, so she didn't get too irritated). Just yesterday I bought myself a beautiful Colt 1991 commander, both as a wedding present for myself and as a celebration of the Heller decision. Tonight my wife and I will put it through it's paces at the range. God bless America's 1st freedom!

[ir3e971]

I went out and purchased a SW 642. Never had a snub nose before.

Took it shooting and it works real well.

[Phydeaux642]

No, but I did pick up a stripped lower and two 30-round mags for an AR.

With money getting tighter all the time, and ammunition prices what they are, if I buy anything it's going to be some "Heller ammo" - not another gun.

I hear you. My gun purchases are nearing an end for a while. I'm trying to get an AR built, but that's all I need. Well, I may need a Remington 870, but that's all I need. And, then maybe a Ruger GP100 if I can scrape up the dough. But, that's all I need.:evil:

I wish the election was two years from now so I could get over this feeling of being rushed into buying everything I want in the next few months. I'm trying to buy the 'evil' stuff first so I can get back to handguns.

[[FH]K96]

I celebrated by firing full-auto weapons for the first time:D

A vintage MP-40 and an M4:)

I also just picked up two pistols today I bought before the ruling...a nickel S&W 39-2 and Colt 1991A1 Compact.

[maclean]

I just put a Colt Commander on layaway yesterday, does that count? I've got some minor tweaks in mind for this one and then it'll be my new carry gun.

Thinking I'll bobtail it and set it up as close to my NHC T3 as possible: Straight Eights, crowned barrel, 3.5 - 4 lb trigger, etc.
Jack

[familywgn]

I want to buy a Heller Special S&W Model 60 and 63, but like Owen Meany, i'm stuck with some "Heller" ammo

[jad0110]

No Heller handguns, but I'm working on a scary, black AR-15 with lots of eeeeevil hi-cap mags. And I'll be stocking up on a bunch of vicious, super dooper high-powered .223 ammo that will stop a T-72 in it's tracks! :rolleyes: ;)

At least it'll T-off an anti somewhere.

My father will be ordering a Baby Desert Eagle Semi-Compact in 9mm tomorrow ... his first handgun will be a Heller!

[Flamer]

I am pretty much set in the guns area, be it handgun or otherwise.

But I did purchase some ammunition to celebrate the ruling,lol.

[guntotinguy]

Not a handgun either..but just bought a Rem 870 Tactical 20 guage...

[JustinL]

I want to but I just can't figure out what to buy.

[yhtomit]

I'd been thinking about buying a gun based on the Heller outcome, no matter what that outcome actually was -- and that's the day I decided to get the Witness that's now being shipped :)

Thinking of getting it engraved with both my law school's logo (Temple Law -- and No, it's not a very pro-gun place) and a citation to the case, as well as to the 2d Amdt. Need to find an engraver with good rates for all that, though ;)

timothy

p.s. For purposes of idiots in Washington, D.C., I'll pretend along with them that mine is a "machine gun."

[Walkalong]

I bought this. (http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=4640052&postcount=32)

I stumbled onto something I have been wanting while picking up a Colt Trooper that just happened to arrive that day, and it seemed the perfect purchase for Heller.

[[FH]K96]

Nice! :D

[hexidismal]

I would have liked to buy a gun in honor of the Heller decision.. unfortunately I have no money. I need to sell a gun or two .. or maybe some of my organs or something.. before I can buy more.

[Reddbecca]

I had plans to go out and buy a brand new semi-auto handgun to celebrate the Heller ruling. But I couldn't get out to the next town where the closest gun store is. Instead I had to settle for American flags on my AR-15.

[robsc]

I bought a pair of Steiner binoculars.

[Poor East Texan]

More "in case of Obama" than Heller, but I'm scarifying my 10/22 with a Tapco T6 stock and Tactical Innovations T125 banana mag.

Also have a CZ 452 Military Trainer on layaway.

Almost zero chance that I'll get a nice scary black centerfire before it's too late. Good thing I have my SKS and Mosin Finnish M39 already!

[maclean]

"More 'in case of Obama' than Heller...."

That's exactly why I bought my AR. Took me 8 months to pay it off but I got in under the wire. I haven't even shot it yet but at least I know I've got one. Now I really want a Sabre Defence upper in 6.8 SPC to go with it. I still might pick up a stripped lower or two just to tinker with later on.

[Shade00]

Not really in celebration... but close enough.

[moga]

I picked up a M&P compact 40 to celebrate Heller and ordered some accompanying leather from FIST. My next purchase will be a 308 bolt action and some glass, probably a Rem LTR.

Happy Birthday America and God bless ya.

[El Tejon]

Bought another Springfield XD 5" in .45acp. Purchased on the day after Heller.

[jad0110]

Also have a CZ 452 Military Trainer on layaway.

Almost zero chance that I'll get a nice scary black centerfire before it's too late. Good thing I have my SKS and Mosin Finnish M39 already!

I just got the Trainer myself. I was hoping to try it for the first time yesterday but the range I frequent was closed for maintenance :( . Maybe tomorrow. What a nice handling rifle though, you are gonna love it! The bolt is stiff, but once you remove it for a good clean/lube and work the action 100+ times it will losen up quite a bit.

My father has an SKS that he keeps in my safe (along with the CZ-452) and I'd really like to add an M39 next year. I'm working on the AR right now. Looks like our safes look a lot alike :cool:. The M39s are safe from another AWB, but they are getting more rare by the day.

You should have plenty of time to get your scary black rifle. Figure the next President and Congress won't come in until Jan '09, and it would probably be at least a few months beyond that before any :cuss: legislation is signed, if it comes up at all. Hopefully this next batch of self-serving politicians will be bright enough to figure out that they have more to lose politically from passing something like an AWB II than they have to gain.

[Ala Dan]

Uum John, bought mine right before the ruling; but I will cherish my
purchase just the same~! :D

Its a Smith & Wesson 4" pencil barrel .38 Special model 10, with a
glamarous factory nickel finish and square butt that dates back to
being manufactuered between 1963-1965 (C737xxx S/N); as per
the 3rd edition of Standard Catalog Of Smith & Wesson by Jim Supica
and Richard Nahas. :cool: ;)

[Dr_2_B]

Wow I'm glad I came across this thread. That's what I can tell myself about buying this last week. It was a Heller thing. Patriotic. Yeah.

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=80926&stc=1&d=1215220506

[sub-moa]

Already used the anniversary excuse for the S&W M49 the week before and the birthday excuse for the Manurhin PPK/s the day before, SOooo...The Walther PPK/s became the Happy Hellerday gun on Heller's happy day.
Don't you just love the holidays!:D

[Poor East Texan]

Here is my nod to Heller, but more of an "in your face" to antis!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/PlayboyJoeShmoe/10-22TapcoT6-T125.jpg

May have to slash and re-crown the barrel....

[machinisttx]

I bought both of these on Independence Day.

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b20/imakechips/smith%20and%20wesson/100_0842.jpg

[Reddbecca]

I'll buy a Heller handgun when the people of DC are able to do the same thing.

[struckzb]

Yeah, I bought a Glock 23 for Summer CCW:)

[doc2rn]

Picked up a GSG-5

[Kind of Blued]

Uhhhh... it's been a few days now, but I seem to remember that shortly after the ruling I bought a REALLY HEAVY ammo can of .50 BMG ammo from a gentleman who has already posted in this thread. I also seem to remember that I still owe him some money... ;)

[MrAnteater]

I bought a Glock 22 as my contribution to the gun cause when then Heller decision came down. :)

[Poor East Texan]

A few slightly better pics of my "Tacticool" 10/22

[rantingredneck]

I bought a Heller AR lower.

Now gotta buy a Heller AR upper to go with it :p

[JeffLrrp]

My crossbreed supertuck came in a few days after Heller -- thats going to have to suffice until I can get the money scrapped together for a subcompact pistol/revolver.

[novaDAK]

I picked up a LNIB (300rds though it) XD45acp 5" with everything that came with it new for $350 that weekend.

[Shadow1198]

http://san1.atlanta.gbhinc.com/GB/103743000/103743933/pix477254031.jpg

I bought a beater euro P220 9mm. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than shooting my 45acp P220, that's for sure. ;)

See, now isn't this wonderful? In a time of economic downturn, gun owners are doing their part to help stimulate the economy. ;)

[CajunBass]

I put this on layaway a few days before, and got it out shortly after, so I guess it counts.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b292/CajunBass/handguns/001-4.jpg

Smith & Wesson M-17-3, 22.

(That shiny spot just ahead of the frame is just flash reflection.)

[JohnnyGrey]

CZ75 Compact in nickel!

[jholland]

I bought a new M&P9c from Buds Gun Shop, to go with my current M&P9 Full Size, before they ran out at that price!!!

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Suddenly it occurs to me that probably the best definition of a "Heller Handgun" or Heller gun is one which is not altogether too common right now, but which one buys simply to help make the case, through direct example, that it is indeed in common usage, and thus protected. Examples in handguns might be AR "pistols", AK "pistols", Tec-9s, Uzis, Ingrams, anything else vilified by the anti-gunners based on looks or magazine capacity.

[Wolfman_556]

The day I heard the ruling I ordered a bunch of 30 round AR15 mags.

My goal is at least 100 AR mags by election day.

I'm getting there quick ;)


On July 3rd I bought my stainless steel CZ-75B and soon thereafter acquired six 16 round mags for it by Mec-Gar.

The more I shoot it, the more it becomes my favorite pistol.

I want another CZ-75B in a blued finish to compliment it.

[Poor East Texan]

So many cool guns....

So little income!

I should know this, but what date was the decision? About a month ago I put a CZ 452 Military Trainer in layaway. I should get it out Saturday....

[esq_stu]

I bought a Heller Mini-14.:cool:

[sargenv]

I bought a Heller Model 336 Marlin :)

[roadrash 1]

I picked up my Heller OD G26 Monday,Matches my John Kerry G17 perfectly!:neener:
