Picked up a RIA Ultra FS.45 ACP 1911. Have not shot it yet. Fit and finish is really good. Trigger is outstanding. Rear sight is screw adjustable for windage. Others speak very highly of them. For a sub $600 1911 so far I am impressed.
East Tennessee
Picked up the new Glock Gen 5 G23 today.
First one on this side of the state.
Can't wait to shoot it!

I bought another Springfield armory 1911 mil-spec defender. I think its the best 1911 for the money today....................Curdog
Just bought a Freedom arm m83 in 357 mag. Hasn't arrived to the FFL yet. I'm excited. Need to track down bullets or a mold for it now

Last bought a S&W 624 6.5" .44 Spl. It has the scariest SA trigger pull, maybe 1.5 lbs!
Last trade a Ruger 77 .243 for a S&W 629 full lugged barrel 5 inch. Heavy as heck but also .44 MAG!
Glock G45 MOS. I paid too much because I wanted it.....
It dawned on me that unless I die soon, I haven't yet bought my last gun. But last month I bought a Colt Huntsman!

I've gone a little crazy the last month or so.
Bought a P365, like it so well I sold my Springfield Hellcat the next day.
Ran across a decently priced P365XL and bought it too. I think I may prefer the standard P365, but we'll see.
Then my wife decided she wanted me to sell her M&P 22 Compact and get her a Taurus TX22. I gave her my FDE frames TX22 and bought one that has a green with black splatter frame. Need to drop of the little M&P 22 for consignment.
I bought a couple of shotguns too. A well used but not abused 870 Magnum Wingmaster, and a 1940 Winchester Model 12 solid rib in about the same condition. $250 for the Remington and $315 for the Winchester. Best price I've seen on either one in a long, long time.
The P365 was hailed as a game changer, and it really is. I love mine. Even though I just bought the Glock 23, I know I will rarely carry it since the P365 is so much more compact and comfortable to carry. First pistol that I've genuinely forgotten that it was on my belt. And with 12 rounds of 9mm that will do 2" at 25 yards while being totally controllable. I'm sad for folks that carry larger and heavier guns with less capacity and performance.

Customer brought this into the shop to see if I would sell it for him. Asked him how much, and after he told me I bought it on the spot.
Colt Frontier Scout, .22LR only, Q suffix s/n (dates 1958). I would put it at 90%+, normal wear on the muzzle and cylinder for a 62 year old gun. Bore and chambers are excellent to damn near factory condition. Grips (as you can see) show next to no wear.
This matches a F suffix Frontier Scout from 1958 that my Dad gave to me.

In the Spring (iirc) I bought a well used 4” 686 from a gent at the gun club. One of my grail guns. I believe I am the third owner. My other grail gun is a 4” 66. I could have bought 2”, 3”, or 6” model 66 guns or any thing locks.
Now I have a hankering for a S&W .32 model 16. Yea I know, its now out of production.
