Mini-14. I like the M-14 but I'm just too small at 5'4" to carry one.
What's the NEXT gun you're gonna buy?

Well, I didn't plan it, but I went to a gun show to sell one, and came home with two. My "new" additions are a slightly used S&W 1006, and a recessed and pinned Model 19 .357, like I used to carry when I started as a cop. Both were well below "gunbroker" prices of late, so I felt pretty good, even though I was looking to bring home money for a change.

Glock 26, or a .38 Snubbie of some sort.

The Walther, Taurus and Sig and Ithaca M37 I had to sell.
Big thanks to the VA GI Bill. Without you and your out-of-the-air $3000 debt, I wouldn't have this previledge.

My newest gun.
Its an old model Three Screw BlackHawk Convertable. 38/357 and a second cylinder for 9mm. They stopped making them in 1973, mine was made in 1970 (Ruger has the dates on their site)
It does not have the transfer bar so it not safe to carry six rounds, only five. ruger will change it for free but i am going to keep it this way.
For those who do not know,
From 1962 through 1972, Ruger made the "Three Screw" Blackhawk in various calibers, so called by the number of screws visible on the side of the revolver.
The Flattop and Three Screw Rugers were modernized compared to the Colt Single Action Army, in that they had adustable sights instead of the Colt's fixed sights, and they used wire coil springs instead of the Colt's flat leaf springs. Bill Ruger chose coil springs due to their greater durability, claiming that it solved one of the primary weaknesses of the Colt design.
The early models of the Blackhawk still operated the same way as the Colt, in that the hammer was half-cocked to load and unload, and that the firearm was not safe to carry with all six chambers loaded due to the hammer resting upon the sixth chamber. In 1973, in order to eliminate accidents occurring from the hammer jarring against a round loaded in the sixth chamber, Ruger introduced the New Model Blackhawk. The New Model Blackhawk did not require the hammer to be half-cocked for loading and unloading, and employed a transfer bar mechanism which prevented the cartridge under the hammer from being fired without the trigger being pulled. The New Blackhawk was seen as limiting firearms accidents and legal liability. Ruger then began offering a retrofit program, offering free transfer bar conversions to earlier variants of the Blackhawk.
The owner died a couple years ago and his son is slowly selling a huge collection.
Mine is a 6 1/2 inch barrel but here is a photo
I want to get a Three Screw in 41 and 44 next

The next gun I buy will be one of the two guns I plan to buy next lol. Either a J-frame or a K-frame S&W in 22lr. Not too picky about which models - whatever I can find a good price on first, I guess. Except, I'm not fond of the 317, but that's based on a sample of one, so maybe I need to keep an open mind.

I am gonna get myself a .44 Magnum semi-auto as a range toy. It will be impractically large and stupidly fun.

Depends on what comes along, of course, but the next planned purchase I have in mind is one of the Walther Olympia models.

Just lay away a S&W Mod 640 in .357 and a Saiga 20 of course in 20 gauge. The Saiga is cheaper so it'll probably the next one that gets to come home with me.
But does the Kimber Eclipse Pro II in 45ACP that I just pickup today count?

gotta change my last answer to a 20ga barrel for my optima elite. Haven't the slightest clue what my last answer was anyways.

A Savage Cub with the pink laminated stock for my daughter's 10th birthday. And she asked for it, too!
After that? A pocket gun for my wife or a Single Six Convertible.

My next will be a 3rd gen Glock 17 or 22, unless I find a sweet 5906 on the way to the Glock shop.
