The reason you bought your last handgun?

[Still alive]

11 year old thread resurrection! Must be a record!
Anyways....for me it's nostalgia. The last guns I bought were all ones I shot in the 80s. Just remembering the old times and seeing if guns have really improved the last 30 years.

Really, really wanted a Beretta M9A3

I liked the look of a Ruger mkiii and the price was right.

Bought a SS Ruger Mark 2 target for my daughters Christmas present. she'll be stoked !

My last 1 (actually 2 at once) were an Inglis Hi Power and a 1915 S&W Hand Ejector in .455. Bought as part of my interest in handguns of the two World Wars. Seems appropriate to post this today.

It's my hobby. No one asks golfers why they buy golf clubs.

Holy crap Import. This is the second 11 year dead thread you revived

Actually, I just checked... Import revived 6 threads from 2005. Wtf? Obviously I have too much time on my hands to check that out, but not as much time as Import

I knew where the trophy was hanging out, so I dangled some bait. Danged if the so-and-so didn't bite. Reeled it in and the rest is history.

Rob!

I have a Norc 1911 .45, and while I do reload, it was still expensive and mandated that I sit down the night before a range trip to load up some rounds. So I bought a GSG 1911 in .22 with the zrts kit installed for half the price of what it was worth, and I get to shoot a whole lot more with no prep time, and I get cheap practice for the big fella.
I'll be looking for a Norc 1911 9mm just to round out the collection of one goes on a decent sale for Black Friday.

IPSC and 3-gun

Always wanted one and wanted a 40s&w

 

[stevebc]

Last one was my TT33.

Because it was unbelievably cheap.

Like the Lee Enfields after the war.

Didn't want to miss out.

 

[lugermen]

My last one a S&W model 27-2 a very nice one at a price I couln'd say no.

For me it was Taurus 24/7 G2. I wanted something that had all the features I was looking for and it fit the bill; adjustable rear sights, replaceable backstraps loaded chamber indicator, safety, double strike capability, decocker, fully ambi, beveled mag well , oversize ejection port (too bad it's missing magazine disconnect, it's the only thing missing).
