    It's been a quite year for me, I only purchased three handguns this year. So, with less than 4 weeks left this year, it's looking like my Dan Wesson Silverback is definitely my favorite handgun purchase this year.

    My firearm purchases declined significantly in 2017. I've actually sold off a fair amount this year to focus my collection in areas that give me warm fuzzies.

    I managed to pick up two unicorn Smith and Wesson revolvers this year, so it's a tie for me:

    • Smith and Wesson 547 4"
    • Smith and Wesson 610 no dash 5"

    After these two, I've actually gotten super picky about what I buy.

    I think my only purchase was a used Caesar Guerini Summit Impact, from all places 2A Sales and Supplies. I went in there intending to look at 10mm...

    I bought two handguns so far this year, a CZ 75bd and a CZ p01. I just ordered my final one of 2017, a ruger GP 100 4.2 inch. It will be my first da revolver. I'm not sure which one will be my favorite . Love the CZ's.

    I only bought 2 shotguns this year... but one of them is considered a HANDGUN in Maryland so I suppose that will have to be my favorite for purposes of this thread...

    but I guess I do have about 3 weeks left... challenge accepted...lol

    Waiting to pick up a few new guns next week after 7 day jail time.. Interested to see if any of them can unseat my Canik elite as best purchase this year

    I'be become quite happy with an almost pristine Colt Cobra .22 I picked up fairly inexpensively in an auction. It's like a perfect backpacker's or camp gun...lightweight and with a 3" barrel not difficult to deal with at all. My favorite centerfires I've purchased are two new Colt Delta Elite 10mm pistols...one in stainless and one is stainless lower and IonBond Black upper. Awesome pistols...they might even make me switch to them as favorites rather than my Combat Elite .45 ACP.

    Glad to see there was some 10mm love. And we have similar taste. Except I preferred a rail.

    I’ve bought quite a few this year P229 enhanced elite glock 43 to name a couple. But my Cimarron Thunderer in 45 Colt is at the top.
    And as a bonus I’m going back to a Glock 19 should be picking it up tomorrow. Gen 2.

    I made a couple trades and added some new additions this year. New additions to the family this year have been Sig P320 compact w/ns, Gen 4 Glock 30, Gen 3 Glock 26.
    But my favorite though is this Sig P227 enhanced elite. Swapped the short reach trigger out for standard since taking this pic.
