What was your last Gun Purchase of 2024

Technically only "purchased" one gun in 24. Atlantic had a sale i couldn't resist in December 2023 on Pioneer AKs. Really liked the looks of the one with all black furniture and then I saw they charge $35 shipping regardless of the size of your order. so I bought the black one and one with wood furniture. Because of 1 in 30 and 10 day wait pickup on second one was 40 days after first.

Am preparing to move out of state (retired) and had my long time LGS tell me I should not buy anything else in Cal.

Did some research on Pioneer AKs before buying. Later ones switched to forged trunnions. Checked for both canted front sight bases (both OK). One flaw, only Magpul AK mags fit. Measured my Norinco mag well (.020" wider) and carefully opened them up with my Dremel. They both now accept and function with any AK mag. At the price, they were worth the gamble.
 
Rock Island double Stack 45 acp on Sale at Sportsman warehouse. Shot it today for the first time and I really like it. Having the wide body grip the recoil is better handled in the hand. Planning on few upgrades on the ignition system and an Atlas trigger. Maybe I will buy another for a project.. atlas slide and a 9mm extractor to converting it from 45 acp to 9mm. on sale for $489.97 and on the CA roster.

I had a MkIII and it was good but the takedown was a Royal PITA. The MkIV fixed all that.

That’s one of the reasons why I want a MkIV. I’ll give my old MkIII to my son and let him feel the pain of trying to clean a MkIII.

You put the safety on, you take the safety off!
You pull the lever down, and you shake it all about.
You pinch your finger, swear and pick the bolt up off the floor.
That's what it's all about - HEY!

Nope. She became a high up official in the local Dem party a few years ago while he is a solid Trump conservative.

Eventually she will make a video on Tik-Tok, crying about how miserable she is and wanting him back, after she discovers what a post-wall reject she has become, while all Chad will give her is a pump & dump without even paying for a coffee date. In the meantime she can audition for a seat on The View, while they lay around breast feeding on each other while spreading vile hatred on Melania.
 
Savage MK II FVT. This great rifle came out of the Cal Poly shooting club. Peep sights rock, as long as your eyes are still decent! (or young!)
Didnt get to shoot it a whole lot yet , here I was out on one of the last days of 2024 at the now sadly closed SLOSA range.

We are hoping things get turned around and reopened soon!

Nighthawk Custom GRP Recon with X300 Light and an LMT MARS-L CQB MRP New Zealand Reference Rifle…purchased within a couple of days of each other, can’t remember which one was actually „last”.

You will like the NHC Recon. That model was my first NHC. Beware, you will likely get a few different models along the way. 😎

What was your last gun purchases of 2024?

Last week I made three gun purchases but the very last one I put money down on was an Sig P365 that I found new for a tad over $500. I wasn’t in the market for another P365, I already own two, but I couldn’t pass on that deal. I figure I’ll keep it in my safe and gift it to my son when he’s of age.

I picked up 3 firearms in 2024 , Kimber Rapide Dawn 9mm , Colt Python 357 3” and Kimber KDS9C Rail. I hated the tax on Rapide and Colt.

Post up what you think of the Python once you have it in hand.
