This was an unplanned acquisition...

My dealer has had this S&W M34-1 .22lr revolver in his case for a long time. Since I have a Model 63 (SS version) I was not really tempted although I thought it was a nice deal. My dealer, in a fit of Christmas spirit, gave it to me as a gift for my eight year old son to help teach him how to shoot this coming year.

Just dusted off my C&R and ordered

a Walther PP, Manurhin from Centerfire Systems! It's my first C&R pistol. These things are really getting hard to find at the price ($215+shipping).

Looks as if my 1911 will be my last purchase of the year. However, with any luck I may be bringing home a .22 revolver from my in-laws house this weekend.

O1991 NRM Colt.

Ordered it before Christmas but won't take delivery until 1-3-05. Does this count towards this thread topic?

I wasn't really planning on getting myself anything to close out the year, but.........

I had to go out today to get avocado's and cat litter (great combination, huh?) and just happened to be driving by the gun store that is no where even close to the supermarket. I waved 'hello' to the crew and wandered the store, waiting for the small crowd at the counter to disperse. I noticed a 2 tone 1911 in the used handgun display, but I couldn't get close enough to see what it was. Another shopper was looking intently at that particular gun and talking to the salesman about it. I heard the words "Kimber" and "Compact CDP" float out of that corner of the store, and then the phrase that makes my checkbook run for cover:









"It's a Series 1 if that means anything to you....."








So much for being polite. I didn't exactly push my way through the crowd, but I didn't slow down much either.

Here's my new baby with his two big brothers:

Nope.

I consider that your first purchase of 2005. That's a different thread.

Okay I picked this up last night. A Arsenal AK47 with a right folder stock with all of the evil features.

I picked up a P3-AT yesterday morning, parkerized for $210 (same price as the blued).

Then went out and fired it later that same day. Shot at some bulletproof glass and the richochet hit me!

Well, UPS screwed up and gave me overnite service for the price of second day, so I got it on 12-31-04 so I can be a proud member of this thread after all!
