I got the regular black LCP II. Bet the cerakoted grey looks great (any pics?). I will take your advice and keep mine well lubed.

I'll try and get a family photo up of some of my collection. The grey looks great I was worried about what it actually looked like not just model photos

I almost bought the LCP custom with the red trigger but bailed on that after seeing the grey cerakote

Def Understand, if I went by some of the reviews of the Canik I would never have bought it but couldnt be happier. When it comes to Glocks there is no handgun on earth I would trust my life with more than my Gen4, never a single hiccup despite it stove piping on my gf and my brothers gf on two separate occasions (first time shooting a Glock for both). I'm sure with more confidence, experiance, and better/firmer grip would have never happened as my brother and I couldn't duplicate it no matter how much lip wristing we tried
I plan on placing an order for a Gen 5 Bold (Ameriglo NS option) end of December and if I really like it, I'll probably let go of my Gen4

Springfield XD in 9mm, nice pistol.

I grabbed a XDS in bi-tone couldn't pass up the free Mags and holster deal running all spring/summer
Heavier then I thought it would be for such a tiny 3.3" sub compact gun. Bought a Pearce pinky extension for it few weeks back and probably get some talon rubbber grips here soon

Now that I think about it my Milwaukee Impact might be my favorite gun of '17

I'll sheepishly admit it was bought for the other half for her CC weapon, she likes it. Yes all the extras were kinda crazy, more than needed so I sold the mag holders and two 8 round mags, made purchase about 40 bucks cheaper.

Funny you mention that, this was also not for me but actually for my better half and she hasn't exactly loved it so far due to its heft... Time to pick up a G43 like I was going to all along :/

To date and not to be challenged any time soon, a 1943 UNION SWITCH AND SIGNAL at $1,675 back in 2009 from Al R. at The Gun Rack, Burtonsville and subsequently a victum of Md SB 281
in June 2014.

Switched out the target sights mounted on the original slide and with
that upgrade and some appreciation I value it in the $4,000 arena.
I was born in 1940, grew up within 50 miles of Swissvale, Pa where
those pistols were made, and the 1911 was my tote weapon during 21 years of active duty in the Army, 1963-1984.

In 2017, I purchased some real neat ones:

1) Two WW1 Colt 1911s.
2) Two Colt Woodsmans 1935 and 1971 vintage.
3) A Colt Cobra.
4) A fine S&W model 37 Airweight in nickel. Along with 2 other very
decent blued ones.
5) A bevy of S&W revolvers in .38 and .357.
6) A wad of Ruger revolvers.
7) Two Berettas.. a 84 and a 92.

I am a very sick puppy, and as a direct result of this
uncurable disease, IPF, most of my firearms inventory
is FOR SALE. My Pulmonologist feels that my exposure
to Agent Orange on both tours in Vietnam is the most
likely culprit...not the best news I ever received, but I
remain strong and I deal with it.

I will have numerous semi pistols and revolvers on consignment
at Tyler Firearms in Halethorpe, Md (410--921--6393) and at
the Gooshevn Gun Shop and range complex in
Warren, Pa. (412--419--4741).

Also for sale are several M1 Garands, two Colt USGI 1911s, two
CZ "as new" rifles, two gorgeous Steyr Mannlicher rifles in .308
and 7MM, a Sears Roebuck double barreled side by side 12 gauge
and a few inexpensive revolvers.

I think I fondled your SW 500 today at Tylers. God damn that thing is huge.

I bought these two in January and February of this year.

Nice Hi-Powers! I just picked two up recently. I love 1911s but they're a very workmanlike design...functional more than beautiful. The Hi-Power is simply elegant in design.

Firearms are like my children to me. I could never pick one over the other. But the 3 SBR stamps sure do stand out.

Surprised I don't see any P-10s

CZ P-10 picked up last month. First and only gun, so definitely my favorite. BTW, the wife picked up her first and only SA XD Mod.2. Hopefully heading to range in an hour or so.

Didnt think they were on the roster for a couple hundred more years...

Those glue guns aren't true plasma guns. They need an anti matter chamber to strip the elections off the melted glue in order to form actual plasma, lol.

I just ordered one of those for myself. I love the look of that gun.

I've got a couple in the shop for sale too.

Bought an FN 1914 which, given my fondness for old guns floats my boat. However, I really enjoy shootin my 9mm AR pistol I just put together. Bought the PSA 9mm lower with the arm brace a couple months back then grabbed a 'daily deal' on a 10 1/2" barreled upper to complete the setup. Added Ruger flippups a a Busnel TRS 25 with riser to co witness. The only shame is I had to choose Glock Mags (S&W also available....no Springfield XD mag choice). Shoots very well to 50 yds ( and probably good to beyond that....just shot it a couple times to sight in at 25 then 50). Plus pick up 1000 rounds of ammo ' cause I haven't seen 9 mil as cheap for almost 30 years as Ive seen lately.

CZ Shadow 2.

This. I bought some nice guns in 2017 (including a Les Baer Monolith Heavyweight, HK P7M8, and HK P7M13) but the Shadow 2 is the best pistol I have ever shot.

I purchased a VP9 in March, it has been an absolute blast to shoot. Do not regret the purchase at all.
