What is your 'Last' pistol going to be?

My last is a gun thats been held up a gunsmith waiting to be converted to a restricted (Colt detective special snub), that belonged to my 81 year old mother. Covid shut the smithing (or at least mine) down for awhile trying to get parts/barrels/etc. across the border. Her new Pal/Rpal just arrived last week to replace her prohib license and a few days after that, the new registration for the firearm. Spent a couple hours on the phone at my mothers trying desperately to call Miramachi. Mission accomplished. Sweating bullets there to get this done before stupid arrives. My worst case scenario was that she had it converted, but, the stupid threats go through and she wouldn't be able to transfer it to me and then it would just become a big waste of time/money and the cops get it anyways.. So, now I'm the proud owner of Colt detective special chambered in .38 with a 4 1/4 inch barrel. A nice bonus after transferring most of my handguns to my son.... Learned something. Even though she's only had a prohibited license for decades, they automatically gave her a pal/rpal license when the gun was converted. No safety classes or anything, just changed the designation. Not that she'll be buying anything anymore..
 
Not sure since I got 3 approvals on Wednesday and sent each dealer the copy of the transfer approval. Only one has emailed me back confirmation that they received my email and none have shipped yet.
 
I thought it was a Colt diamondback. But then a cz shadow 2 came up. After that a brand new Smith Wesson 41 magnum. Then I knew I was done until I found a sign spectre pro comp. For sure done then until I found a 29-2 for 1000 bucks to match the 41 and 357 I have. Now I'm really done....
 
I’m a diehard Glock shooter and I just bought a P320 Compact.
I guess this country really is going to hell in a hand basket.
Seriously though I wanted the fire control unit from a P320 so I could change out frames and experiment over the long term.
A necessity if we’re limiting future transfers and registrations
 
I thought I was done when I got the CZ TS2 silver. Then I went to TACCOM today. Turns out FOC still had a Glock 21 in stock so I snagged the last one. Now Im done.
 
Well I thought the glock 22 I got earlier would be lonely. So I bought his bigger brother the 21. If Prophet River keeps stocking this stuff I'm gonna need a second job!
 
My last pistol was a 7.5" Ruger New Vaquero in .45. Had to replace the one I sold a while back, but now I think I'm good. I kinda wish I could pick up a couple more G19s so all of my kids could have their own to shoot but here we are..

Not really planning on anything else in the current climate, although I really could use a 10mm so that I'd have something to burn off all this ammo I've accumulated over the years. Lots of 10mm, maybe even more than the super 38 I've also collected.
 
Thought I was completely done but picked up a Sig P320 today. Had only picked up 1 other polymer (S&W M&P 2.0) and wanted to be able to have some context with at least 1 other poly pistol. Saw supplies across Canada dwindling fast and had to pull the trigger (no pun intended). The other 10 rush buys were all steel.
 
I thought my last purchase was a new Glock 17 Gen 3 from Prophet River but then I walked into an old school gun shop in Red Deer to pick up some ammo and saw a new standard GSG 1911 22. Ive owned one before and it was priced fair so I could not say no. It turned out it was the last one he had in stock.

I found some Dawson sights at Freedom Ventures to upgrade the plastic ones and will replace the huge ambi thumb safety with a lower profile standard GI style. It seems like all 1911's these days have these big ambi safeties that get in the way of your grip. Not a 1911 guy so maybe im missing something but I want to make it comfortable to shoot.
 
Bought a FN 509 CT with Vortex red dot. Unless I can find a nice 1911 at a reasonable price, or luck out and locate my dream USP Compact, this will be my last.

Expecting an 18 month+ wait to Ontario.
 
Waiting on transfer of a shadow 2 from july 19, and trying to get my dad's dan wesson 15vh reclassified to transfer, but it has been an administrative nightmare.
 
I traded one of my Pythons (nickel) for a Sig X5 Supermatch NIB. I needed another X5, and I still have a a couple Pythons. I'm happy with that. Something I will shoot, instead of something I take out of the safe twice a year and polish.

I may have to change my Avatar picture though....
 
I have pretty much dialed in my collection. Managed to find an HK45c which I was planning on being my last pistol. But I have managed to free up some funds for one last hurrah but I want to find something unique and different. No more 9's but that seems to be the only thing left on the market.
Any suggestions?
