New Firearms Acquisitions October 2021

[Whiskeywon]

Let's start the month off strong. Rifle was finished months ago, but I placed a dealer direct order with Vortex and just got the glass in along with the mount just arrived. Fully intend on getting out to zero this week! Forgot to include: Vortex Razor Gen III 1-10 on a Scalarworks 34mm mount.

I did. I really liked it, so when this popped up on GB for $300, I snagged it.

They're all chunky like budget USPs, but they're still awesome handguns
Especially for that kind of money. I would take that over a ton of comparably priced new stuff.

I was surprised to see a Ft. Smith PPK at my LGS. I jumped. I‘m hearing good thinks about the new one. Slides are made in Germany and the whole thing is machined, not cast from what I’m reading

I had the opportunity to handle one of these a few months back. The new owner didn't know how to break down or reassemble it.
Luckily I saw a video a few days prior on it.

Made me want one

 

[PATRON]

1913/19 Sauer & Suln in 25 acp,and a Colt Detective special in 38 special.

I call it "Dagger Gaggle."



Palmetto State Armory Daggers: two-tone gray, black DLC, and the complete frame with a custom slide.

Haven't seen one of those in quite a while, the report on those is crazy especially indoors

I'll be curious about the range report. Anything automag is a mixed bag. I always want their guns to work naturally because they're so damn cool.

I've had a few Automag 2s and 3s over they years, they all worked fine, it's just getting magazines and parts that's tough. On the other hand I had an AMT Hardballer at one point and that thing was a piece of shit jam-o-matic!

So for $900, you got 3 superior Glock-clones.

In MA, $900 gets you a highly used gen2 police surplus from the early 90's.

Ill keep you guys posted on a range report

 

[Rockrivr1]

Just picked up this very nice S&W 29-5 Classic Hunter w/ a full underlug and unfluted cylinder. Love the look. Cant wait to hit the range with her and put some lead downrange.

Of the 2 I have had experiences with one works with all sorts of ammo. The other doesn't work at all (cycling problems) both IIIs. The IV in 45 WinMag works well.

My understanding (told this by the guy who headed their repair dept) is that the ones that were tight on the barrel tolerances would shrink to under tolerance after fired. He suggested chamber reamer would be the place to start.

.That could have been what I was experiencing as I didn’t have the bandwidth at the time to tinker with them.

Yeah, I’ve had a III and a IV and neither of them worked for shit which is a shame because those are guns you want to work because they’re just fun. .30 carbine shot pure fire out the front and just brings a smile. Neither shot one of the hardballers though.

 

[PATRON]

1903 Colt pocket Hammer 38 Auto,and a Nambu type 26 in 9mm.Jap.

 

[nitsuj]

Two service grades from CMP showed up today, both on new wood, one is a WW2 era receiver, the other is 50’s era, both SA

 

[76Too]

My vury furst G-Lock!

$491+tax w/3 mags and an ez loader.

I haven’t really been buying a lot of guns/gun stuff lately, but this was a purpose driven purchase.

This is going to accompany me into bear country next spring.

10 manometers of Yogi death!

1903 Colt pocket Hammer 38 AutoView attachment 534064

In 1903, this thing must've been the most freakin advanced defense tool in the world. Auto loading, more capacity, more concealable, quick reloads, etc. The Single Action Army was probably still the norm back then.

 

[fishhawk357]

Picked this up last weekend. I put on a new set of grips, a full length guide rod and upgraded recoil spring. Haven’t fired it yet. Hope it’s shoots as good as it looks.

Took the AMT Automag2 to the range yesterday. Didn’t skip a beat threw lots of fireballs.

Shame you had to move to even get such a thing. I have the same exact size model. Clicky Surefire M640 and a Aimpoint CompM5. Awesome package. Would love a Sig suppressor to go with it, but they're hard to get.

I will have to post up another pic once I get the Dead Air can on it.
