Mine was not planned, but it was a Sig P225 from CDNN. Ordered it last Tuesday and picked it up on Friday. Now I have enough pistols for a little while longer.

Still waiting on an M4... Colt? RRA? Anyone have some without ridiculous markups?

My first purchase of 2005 was/is (I have a deposit down on it) a Marlin 1894C in .357 Magnum. Hopefully it will arrive this week!
Beyond that, my wish list is pretty short. I need a pump shotgun, other than that I'm pretty happy for now.

I'm so poor that I have no reason to contemplate a purchase...I'm still hurting from my last one. I graduate in May, then head to Okinawa/Japan for a few weeks, then I'll have to see how the job hunt goes. I'd like to have a S&W 625, and I've got an itch for an AR. Of course, I also have a deep love for the P7 and USP.

Mine wans't exactly planned, but I've been wanting an AK clone for about a year now.
Finally gave in and got a decent deal on a Romanian WASR last week.
Waiting on the 75 round drum to show up this week.

How do you like it? I saw one cheap and halfway considered picking it up, but I figured a CCW handgun should first.

S&W 627 (5" Performance Center .357mag)
Technically I bought it in 2004 but thanks to our ludicrous laws I can't pick it up for another week or two.

Was going to be a completed lower for the AR I have been working on forever...until an M1 Carbine got in the way. Oh well....

The plan for this year is:
Benelli Super Black Eagle
DPMS Panther Lite
CZ Rami 9mm
Tikka T3 Varmint, 22-250
Kadet kit for CZ75B
Ruger Deerfield 44 Magnum
If I manage that and still have any money left over:
Ruger Redhawk, .44 Magnum
Marlin 1894C, .357 Magnum
Ruger SP101, concealed hammer
Edit: This thread got me thinking, and I ordered the Kadet kit this evening.

I am taking it out to the range tomorrow if the weather holds. Got the 75 round drum today!
Mine is one of the 'new' no-bans, and it's a very nice example with matching laminated wood stocks, no canted sights or GB. Very nice gun, I'm pretty happy with it.

Mine wasn't planned. I saw a deal on a Beretta 92 Vertec that I just couldn't pass on. Got it yesterday.

I just made my first purchase of the year today - a Glock 36. I hadn't planned on buying one, but once I fondled it I simply couldn't resist.

I don't really have any planned purchases, rather I have a long wishlist that gets continually put off as I impulse-buy somehting I didn't know I really really wanted 
So far I've bought a ruger single six, a ruger bisley in .22, a smith M19-4, and sold the single-six to my brother.

Fondled the Walther G-22 and it's now a unexpected passenger of my faster than life credit file, remembered why I used to covet my neighbors M21, and have decided that instead of a big wish list, I'll save up for one and let SA make me a very happy man. I'm sure that the new M25 will keep my wife from speaking at me for at least a month

Re:
I swear I didn't plan it honey..... ...was just out picking up a mess of reloading supplies at GM last Sunday....stopped by the firearms section to , look things over... Saw a Bersa Thunder .380 Duo-tone, handled it....liked it.....regular price was $199...got it for $179 with an extra mag and an Uncle Mike's holster...
Would really love to get or build an AR or AK...but up here in the PR of IL, no place to shoot it.
Most likely gonna get a Marlin 1894C .357 lever gun, have been looking at a SIG too. So far I have been steering clear of the dark side..though I may rent one next time just to see if they do anything for me. Don't have any plastic guns...all heavy metal so far....but one never knows...enjoy....be safe...mack

Well, the first purchase is in the bag.......an Imbel receivered STG58a.....
If we end up getting the WVa land I'll have to come up with a carry gun....I'm not sure I want to schlep around a full-sized USP while clearing brush on mountain land......

First planned: hasn't happened yet, but I plan to pick up a WASR-10 with bayo lug and angle muzzle comp at the show in Charlotte next weekend.
First actual: VZ-52/57 I picked up at the SC Arms Collectors show here in Columbia last month.

For me it's already happened. I purchased a new to me, Glock 22. Then I went and bought the 9mm conversion bbl for it. Nice! My second planned purchase will be a S&W 500 in the 4" bbl.

I have trouble accessing Ruger's site as of late. Site commonly visited are Colt, Glock, Kimber, Ruger, S&W, & Taurus .. I do want something in a 2" or 2 1/2" bbl max, non mag +P performance line, yet inexpensive ($350 or less) without sacrificing quality - Revolver Only!
