What is the last gun that you bought?

The last two firearms I've bought were before the last election for obvious reasons. The first is a Ruger LCP and the second is a Sig P290RS. Both bought to fill perceived size and purpose holes in my CCW herd.

Last election had some potential brutal outcomes!!! Glad it wasn't a Clinton!!!
 
Still looking for opines as of how to resolve the exploit attempts. All comments welcome!
 
Just bought a Howa 1500 Mini barreled action in 6.5 Grendel.

It's the light weight 20" barrel.

Still looking for a stock. It's going to be my wife's deer rifle for Pennsylvania.

Picked it up at the gun show in Great Falls yesterday. The mag in the gun is brand new and there are no marks on the feed ramp, a few handling marks on the exterior. The spare mag is used. Looks like it spent most of it's life stored in a warehouse.
Paid $240 OTD, when you figure in shipping/FFL fees that's as good or better than buying one online.
 
Not me but my son. I found a excellent deal on a preowned 336A JM Marlin 30-30 w/ 3x9 scope in like new condition. The same week a local sporting goods chain had a 20% off sale including firearms. So he got a new Mini-14 w/ tax much cheaper than the selling price anywhere around here and the Marlin same day. They were in two different locations 45-50 miles in same area. We drove out on a day I had a call for work in the area so I got paid plus my gas and mileage covered by the company. Win, Win, Win!:thumbup:
 
I went to my first gunshow in years yesterday afternoon. I had given up on them as they only had lots of new stuff at inflated prices or just junk. It's a small town so a small show but I was surprised to find quite a few guns besides ARs and AKs. There were plenty of those but a good supply of "ordinary" guns, even some very old ones, and some were actually priced decently. No down right bargains but not highway robbery prices either. I was looking specifically for a used 1851 Navy Colt replica. Not a blackpowder gun to be found in the house.

I did run across a Rossi 22 Plinker at one table and still new. I thought that could be a fun gun and ideal for my oldest great grand girl. Knowing nothing about the gun I went home and got on the internet. Although it's discontinued I only found good reviews for it. I went back and did a little back and forth with the seller and came home with with my second ever Rossi firearm and he got rid of a gun that he had had for five years.
 
Just bought a Ruger mini14 tactical version. Wanted a black rifle because I didn't have one and chose it instead of one of the many ARs still wating to shoot it.
 
Just yesterday, passed a gunshop I'd never heard of, and on a whim.......

I bought my PMR 30 three years ago at the height of the fabricated ammo scare. Like .22 LR the .22 WMR was scarce so I never got to shoot it that much. During the summer of '16 the local market corrected itself and now there is plenty. Fitted with a Burris Fastfire 3 I achieved the best accuracy at 50 yds with the CCI .40 gr Maxi Mag and the Federal 50 JHP. It's a loud boisterous flash cannon and always gets the looks at the range. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
Two weeks ago I picked up the carbine version, the CMR 30 and fitted it with a verticle grip/flashlight combo. Haven't had it at the outdoor range yet but did nail some paper at the indoor range last week. Haven't decided on a scope but fairly satisfied with the pop up irons at 100 feet.

Went to the range yesterday, but didn't get a chance to shoot the PMR, as I spent too much time BSing with the other guy that was there. You'd think we were long lost friends. Nice to see someone of like hobbies so eager to make new friends though. I sighted in my RDB, which was flawless for about 30 rounds, the Nikon quite easy to zero. I'm going back today, EARLY, and expect to move the RDB out to 100, and then fire the PMR and also the Colt Gold Cup Trophy .22LR I bought a couple months ago. 3 guns I've never fired in two days is a first for me, and the most time I've spent at the range in years! What the hell was I thinking!?
 
Thread bump by another purchase. Walked into the local "showroom" 45 minutes before closing just to see what they had. Walked out with a Kahr CW45, a pistol I'd been heavily considering through last year. It's used, but very clean. No box, just the gun and its one magazine, for $250. It's my third handgun in .45ACP, and the first purchased with the idea it might become a carry piece.
