What will be your first Handgun purchase of 2005

[45Badger]

If all goes well Thursday night, a "T" series Hi Power with three mags in excellent/mint condition (I haven't seen it yet) for $450

 

[MrTuffPaws]

One Taurus 627 with a 4" barrel.

 

[Rinspeed]

I have a bunch of handguns but no .22s. I'm thinking maybe a Ruger Single Six with both cylinders.

Mine was yesterday - I had a Kimber Pro CDP that I had customized, then later sold. Of course I regretted the sale, so when I walked into my local shop yesterday and saw it in the case, I bought it back!

Did you make any money on the deal

 

[Hawkman]

Me? Make money on a gun deal? You talkin' ta me?

Actually, I exactly broke even. Guy traded it cheap on something else and my dealer (who I list as a dependent on my tax return ) gave me a break on it.

 

[AlienSoul]

The end of this week I am ordering a Walther P99 in 9mm.
It will be my first handgun so I am pretty excited.

 

[riverdog]

Right now I'm thinking a Beretta 87 Cheetah .22LR would be nice. I haven't had a new .22 in a long time.

Anyone have any bad words regarding the Cheetah?

First purchase 2005

I have been having trouble with my arthritic hip, so to take my mind off the pain in my hip I just picked up a FEG F9M-pjk and it is a miracle, the bite in the web of my thumb is more severe than the hip. But it shoots great.

I'm going to get a S&W 442 or 340PD in a few months. Need to go handle both and see if I can find any deals. Whichever one I end up getting I'm planning to put a pair of crimson trace grips on it. Hopefully it will be my "always" gun.

Browning Buckmark Standard for me. Just too many things around here needing shot requiring a .22lr pistol.

 

[1911_sfca]

Already purchased

Ruger MK II - Team USA special edition.

Kimber Tactical Pro II.

In 10 day waiting period. I pick up a Remington 870E defender in a few days so that should hold me over.

 

[10-Ring]

Me, I think it will be a HK USPc 45...still haven't decided blue or stainless tho!

 

[jojosdad]

Getting a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 with an extra 9mm cylinder in 10 days (stupid CA waiting period). Looking for a .22 semiauto pistol next - either a High Standard or Ruger Mark II.

 

[McCall911]

First things first: I need to obtain membership at a decent range in the Birmingham, Alabama area so I can shoot the stuff I already have!

 

[mjb]

On Jan 3 I purchased a Colt Double Eagle in 10mm.

 

[DenStag]

New for 2005

Glock 34 with high cap mags for competition

 

[Ankeny]

STI .38 Super OPen blaster from Triangle Shooting Sports. At three grand and change, that's the gun budget for the year.

 

[Frandy]

I'm with 10-Ring

On Jan 4, I picked up a new H&K USP 45 Compact. Sweetness!

 

[threefeathers]

Refurbished Sig 226.

 

[Curare]

P7m8

First (and last) purchase of '05. I can't believe I found a vintage Chantilly era P7M8 in unfired condition with all accoutrements--10 minutes from my house. Gotta love the 20 year old factory nights sights.

It will be unfired for the next 12 hours!

P7M8 with Swiss shot clock

 

[bpisler]

I just got home with my first handgun of 2005.It's a S&W 625-7 3" N frame chambered in 45 colt,it cost me $539.00 and it's NIB.

 

[Dees]

Nevermind the M60, a Kahr K9 will be my first.

 

[FunGunner]

All the parts for a single stack Caspian 9mm build, hopefully.

 

[Alaskanmonte]

I need a nice .22 LR Pistol. I'm thinking of a Ruger Mark III in SS with a bull barrel. (I can't figure out why I don't have one yet)
