1911 guy
Member
Since my last post in this thread, a few years ago, I've managed to pick up another 12 gauge pump gun, 2 more AR's, another .22 rifle (got another kid now) and another 1911. And lots of ammo. I didn't enjoy the last shortage.
What is the last gun that you bought?
- Thread starter full metal
- Start date
In just the last couple weeks I've bought a LCP custom, a XDm Competition 40, a Walther PPS 40, a Beretta bobcat 22 and a signature series 1851 Colt navy. In the process I sold my Talo Colt 1911, XSE commander, Browning 1911-22 and am selling my old second Gen LCP.
Don't worry 1911 guys I haven't gone all plastic I still have a dozen.

It's on layaway. Not sure how long it will be there, but I'm happy to have found it.
1921, Parker Trojan, 12 ga, 28" barrels, choked modified and full. It's been refinished but the refinish appears to have been well done.
I've only got one crappy cell phone picture. Sorry.
I'm not real sure what I'm going to do with it, but I've wanted a Parker since I was a kid, and my grandfather had one.

Great choice, I really enjoy mine as well.

Give it some more rounds downrange and see how it does. Maybe another 100 rounds.I shot it this last week, and although it failed to feed a few times, it did well.
It carries well in a slider leather holster.
How long of a break in period (# of rds.) is recommended for the SCCY CXP-2 considered for "broken in"?
Do you think I should do some emery cloth work on the slide / frame contact areas, or should I return it to SCCY under their warranty ?
What next ?
If you can consistently get issues, send her in to get checked out. Perhaps see if he issue lies with one of the mags instead of the pistol itself, or if the issue is with the first/last round or some other commonality. That can help with them diagnosing the issue, if you have more details.

Bought a Ruger mk3 target with the wrap around wood target grips and a 5.5" barrel. Installed a volquartsen mk2 trigger kit to get rid of the mag safety the day I picked it up. Also grabbed a red dot for NRA bullseye. Right now it's sitting with irons as I have an international pistol match this weekend.

A Smith & Wesson 19-4. Has pinned bbl and recessed cylinder... a joy to behold. I picked it up last fall as an early Christmas present. Just got back from our 3rd range outing together. I'm in love

Sweet ... I want a pirate gun like that, but every one I see is more than what I want to spend on one! Usually waaaay more go figure.
I bought a 50 caliber "kit" gun that took the edge off of the desire and I've shot it a couple times but like most go my toys, it just sits on the shelf ... It's one of the few guns I don't have in the safe.

Taurus PT92 AF and picked up a used S&W M&P9 VTAC while I was going through the background check.

I posted this in the black powder forum, but why not here also.
It's a reproduction of a Charleville M1777 in .69 cal. Navy Arms, among others, imported these from 1970's through the 1990's, but they are no longer made, and I haven't seen one for sale in a long time. The originals along with the Charleville musket were imported into the US by the French to aid the colonials in the American revolution
I spotted this one at a gun show about a month ago. It was dirty with a dusting of surface rust, so I got the guy down to $130. It cleaned up to look almost new.
Cheers

Added to collection...
Local gun dealer (salesman, actually) got a Colt Model M in trade. He was waiting for me. He baited me in by showing me the pistol.
In the words of Flip Wilson, "The debbil made me buy dis gun!"
Very light wear, bore looks new. Going to range to shoot it for accuracy this afternoon.
Having camera problems. No photos yet.
