First new handgun purchase of 2004

[berto]

If I started paying on my 625 in Nov 2003,and bring it home in Jan 2004.....


My first for 2004 will be a SA Mil Spec 1911 or and Star BM depending on funds or whether tax return arrives first.

The next gun I will buy will probabbly be a Kimber TLE/RL

 

[Greg45]

I doubt if I will buy another gun anytime soon unless it's something in 10mm. I will likely wait until I can find a good deal on a Delta Elite or wait until Colt offers something new 10mm.

I am looking at two right now, a bersa thunder .380 and the kel tec p3at .380. I will likely end up getting both here in the next couple weeks. My regular dealer quoted me a couple good prices... just waiting to find a bersa that I can handle..

I have a few pistols that I want, but cant decide on yet.

So far the list is:
- Mag. Research Desert Eagle .44 mag
- SA XD Subcompact in either 9mm or .40 (havent decided yet)
- .22 plinker most likely in P22
- Sig P232

Only thing is to decide what comes first.

I also want a HD shotgun (Marine Magnum) and a PSS in .308 w/ an currently undecided scope.

Decisions, decisions...

 

[Sean Smith]

Already have it.

'71 vintage Colt Python.

I am picking up my Les Baer Premier II on Saturday.

 

[Lennyjoe]

Thats one sweet looking Colt!

Im in the mood for a wheelgun for the first handgun purchase.

Next is a rifle in 300 WSM.

And finally, a 10MM S&W.

That should break the bank for 2004.

Sig P229 will be my first handgun purchase of the year, and probably my first new gun of the year.

 

[sturgeon]

I just bought a S&W 65-5 3" two days ago, and the next I'm not sure yet,
there are just to many and not enough money in my pocket.

 

[cz75bdneos22]

1st 1911-SA ss mil=spec
shotgun

 

[tc300mag1]

Im thinking a beretta 92 or taurus 92 ... or some kind of 357 mag

 

[Rhinodogg]

Springfield 1911 or a full-size Baby Eagle 9mm. I can't decide which one I want more? Got a fun show coming up in a couple of weeks, but I don't think I can wait that long.

 

[TheEgg]

Purchased it on January 3rd -- a Beretta 92FS in the OD green finish.

Told myself -- HEY!, you don't have a full-size semi-auto in 9mm! You NEEEEED a full size semi-auto in 9mm!




It worked!

 

[Zak Smith]

It will be something semi-automatic and expensive.

I bought a barely used S&W 28-2 over the weekend. My first wheelgun. Shoots great.

 

[dairycreek]

My first purchase already in 2004 is a

CZ 75 P-01! Do I have a plan for 2004? Just where the spirit leads me. Good shooting

 

[dubb-1]

I have a Springfield Professional Model due in May. The only way this won't be the first of the year is if I come across an SAR-1 I just have to have . I have a few cans of ammo to burn up.

Be well!

[GTKrockeTT]

i'm already in DROS for a Bulgarian Mak. next one is going to be either a SIG Trailside Target, or the SIG GSR.

but, i'll probably throw in a marlin lever prior to the second handgun purchase.

 

[rbert0005]

Can't buy a new one, Mass law, but I got a used Ruger Mark II Gov. Target today.

Gave it the quick range try out. 10degrees, so I didn't stay long. Everything was just fine. 150rounds without a hitch. 1" groups at 50' with open sights.

All is well,

Bob

Glock 17.

For some reason I fancy dime-a-dozen popular handguns.
(Smith and Wesson 64 4" police trade, Ruger p97).

Now the most popular Glock!

 

[Preacherman]

Just did my first trades of the new year today.

Traded an old (pinned front sight instead of dovetailed) and well-worn SIG P220, a SIG P232 in stainless steel, and a well-worn H&K P7M8, and added $27 in cash.

Got a SIG P245, a S&W 629-4 w/4" barrel (mint condition), a S&W 442 (ditto), paid for $279 worth of gunsmithing (reaming out a S&W 625 cylinder to .460 Rowland, an action job on another 625, and a throat-and-ramp job on four match barrels), and bought 1000 rounds of Wolf 7.62x39 FMJ.

All in all, a good day's trading...

At the moment I'm considering a used Taurus 441 (3", K-frame sized .44spl), used 2" S&W M10, one of two used 3" S&W65s, used Beretta 92 (for a good price by local prices too), new SA Mil-spec compact 1911 or a used S&W auto (one of several different models) that a local store had yesterday when I was there. I finally made arrangements to get them to transfer the S&W 57 I bought a few months ago (long story why it took this long) and bring it in and I'm thinking about buying one of these when they do the transfer. If I go with one of the revolvers I'll probably trade my Colt PPS at the same time (since I'm not that crazy about it), though if I go with an auto I'll keep it since I can't bring myself to part with a revolver in exchange for an auto (and vice versa).
