What is the last gun that you bought?

Hi...
Bought a new Pietta Great Western II SAA clone with the brass grip frame and 4-3/4" barrel in .45Colt.
Didn't really "need" it...I have a bunch of revolvers in .45Colt but I didn't have one with a brass grip frame or the 4- 3/4" barrel.

The action is very good with a reasonably light trigger. First Pietta...have several Ubertis and Vaqueros but this is my first Pietta SAA clone.

$587 out the door with tax and transfer.
 
OK everyone ... I am into rifles, handguns, and shot guns but haven't thought much about revolvers. I have to say those are some beautiful pieces however. Am I missing something?

And to answer the question ... the last two were:

Walter PDP full size in 9mm
Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 in10mm

The reliability of no stovepipes etc. The beauty (but many semi-autos are beautiful too like that Ruger a few posts up). Not many revolvers have plastic frames either.

To me it is like having a manual transmission in your car. With a revolver, you row it through the magazine, where a semi-auto runs the magazine for you. I think the ideal setup is a revolver with a pocket semi-auto for a BUG.

Yes, you are missing something. A wonderful shooting experience, fine quality workmanship and elegant design in a package that can handle everything from .22LR to .500Magnum.
Nothing quite like shooting a big bore revolver, whether it's a Ruger BlackHawk in.357Magnum, a single action Uberti clone in .45Colt or a S&W Model 29 in .44Magnum or any of a myriad of other revolvers in various calibers. The history and nostalgia are their in your hands in a way that is difficult to describe and only approached (but not equaled )by shooting a 1911 in .45ACP or a German Luger in 9mm.
You just don't get that feeling shooting some plastic semi auto pistol.
 
Not bought, but another acquired from my dad's collection...Buckmark Target. I swapped out the Browning wood target grips for G10 and added a Bushnell RDS for plinking. This gun has probably had umpteen-thousand rounds through it...still insanely accurate.
