+ 6 Fellow firearm junkies… What’s your latest pick up?
I know plenty of other guys here love firearms as much as me, and I’m sure we’d all enjoy some gun porn haha!
Let’s see what everyone has picked up recently!
If you haven’t gotten anything recently- feel free to post your favorite gun and/or your collection!
Mine is a pawn shop find- Standard HPX 1911. American made milled quality parts, 4.5lb trigger, match grade stainless barrel, and came with 3 mags in original box with un-activated warranty. Guy didn’t shoot it too much at all cleaned and internals are good as new- sadly it does have some minor scratches but that’s just character… besides these started retail for $1,200-$1,400 and was $900 at the pawn shop. After bargaining I walked out with everything shown for $595 cash- gotta love Texas!

I am on several waiting lists for the Taurus RPC.
That’s one that caught my eye at NRAAM! The size to performance looked impressive, but I want to see a bit of longevity and functionality tests before I drop $1,000+ on one. I have went through a few AR9’s, and carbine esque pistols, but after I got the CZ Scorpion Evo 3+ I sold off a majority of the others I had.
What’s your favorite 9mm carbine currently?
I honestly think you’ll be fine. The couple of guys I spoke to that have had their hands on it haven’t ran into any issues, but then again Taurus reps have said that before with stuff that can’t cycle 3 rounds in a row without a malfunction.
Come back here and let us know when you get it brother!!
I just got a PT 92 on a great trade and love it. Absolute tack driver and I am still impressed how almost identical it is side by side the beretta 92 FS.
The king is obviously the HK SP5 but to convert it you have to swap the lower and it is already prohibitively expensive. Also it is nowhere near as modular and adaptable as the modern PDW's. I was about to buy a Kuna when I first heard of the RPC. I like that they went full roller and not half assed like the Kuna. I too am anxiously waiting for guys to figure out what it takes to FRT it. I have the DTT rare breed in my BCM lower. Full auto .300 blackout subs are a riot lol. So is .556 but I am not trying to burn up my suppressors or barrels anymore so been taking it easy. Over the winter I bought everything I need to start reloading, who knew my timing was impeccable lol
Agreed there’s always the kings. If I had no limits I’d have top of the line in every category just to see/experience the engineering in person.
Oh you know a FRT will come shortly! It’s pretty funny to look back at all the legislation and social freak outs on bump stocks and other devices that increased rate of fire now that these modern feats that are essentially full auto are readily available on the open market. I hope it stays that way.
Subs in .300 are one of my guilty pleasures. I’d shot a few different cans, but never experienced that “movie level” suppression until I shot custom loaded subs out of my buddies setup. I fell in love! Couple years back I inherited a great reloading setup after my grandad passed that lets me play around with all types of loads and still shoot my milsurp stuff without being insanely expensive. Couldn’t be more grateful with the current market.
I am hoping when they do finally get the RPC inventory up they also have it with the longer barrels. I really am not crazy about the 4.5". I originally was going to make my 7.5" 5.56 AR pistol my truck gun but after shooting it a bit that gun is just too loud and that is even suppressed. My .300aac is only 10.5" but very manageable sound wise
I made the ,mistake of watching videos with the MP5. I am thinking instead of paying 3500 for a new one perhaps it might be cheaper to build one with the FRT lower
Possibly one of my favorite budget 9mm’s produced today. The SAR9. Striker fired polymer frame. Adapted by Turkish LE, special forces, and military as their sidearm. Has now shown promise as a police weapon in the U.S. and is impressive for the price point.
17+1 and is the shape of if a Glock 17 and USP had a child.
You can find them new on sale for $199 occasionally. Got this from my buddy when wifey wanted him to cut down. Upgraded trigger, springs, and rod. Shoots great and is in great shape.
I owned a compact a couple years ago and sold it. Happy to have another Sarsilmaz in the collection.
Ranger3252I could go on about my collection! Just got an Sig P320, seven (7) 21+1 extended mags. Blew, 100 rounds in under 3 minutes. Wish I could post the video lol.
Violence is horrible. Dildoe fighting is gods way.
Imagine getting taken down by that 12g shotty!

Traded for this baby today. Had to go shoot it and I love it so far. Sig P226 in .40 S&W/.357 Sig. Probably top 3 pistol I own performance wise now.
226 very nice! This pistol is on my list, wish they made it in 10mm.
The Sigs are so crisp and tight. They’re fast and clean. .40 in a 228 platform is powerful. That’s going to be a handful.
If you ever get a chance to shoot one of these, don’t. You’ll want to buy it. I typically carry a USP because of the extra two rounds, but this and my P30 are two of the most comfortable pistols I’ve ever shot.
I’ve actually shot one of these before but I think it was a P40 maybe. HK makes a great firearm. I remember it being really solid and firm feeling. If I'm not mistaken, the triggers are super light with very little take-up and they don’t take much pull. Maybe alittle too sensitive for my liking but still a beauty.
Nice. If I'm not mistaken .40 cal was standard weapon of LE at one point in time. I probably need to look into something like this.
Regardless how big or strong you are those hot bullets will make ya move around a bit!
Nice burner!
I don’t own any Sigs, I may have to add one to the family.
Do you have a .357 sig barrel for it too?
Yes sir that’s the best part! Mags are compatible with both and shoots great standard mags hold 10 .40 or 12 .357 Sig. Love the versatility. Can buy a 9mm conversion too if desired.
Elite model so slightly upgraded internals(trigger pull lighter), sights, grips, blacked full steel finish, and a slightly longer barrel.
Hammer and de-cocker are cool perks too.
Thats a nice piece there !
crazy fukn americans and your crazy fukn guns!!! they took our joobs!! lol
Scarecrow300 blkout with a Sandman S can.
I love the blackout and especially subs. I have a Huxwrx 7.62 TI and the Omega 46M. The Hux is better with Supers but the Omega will go on anything including My .450 Bushmaster.
Heard those Sandman’s are build like tanks! I’m sure you don’t even need earpro with sub ammo.
We’d all love to see the build!
I just picked up a Mossberg 590 Shockwave Nightstick 12 gauge. It's a damn good looking little shotgun.
The shop I went to was trying to get rid of a 590M shockwave grip with a 10rd mag and 20rd mag for $300 flat haha. I was tempted but I just don’t really have a use. Not a bad deal though.
High brass in those suckers will have you work out the next day lol!
I have an RIA VR82 semi automatic 20 gauge shotgun and I have a 20 round mag for it.
That's actually not a bad deal at all. I just don't get the purpose of a shockwave with a mag. It kind of defeats the purpose of it being a compact package.
Right. I think it’d be a fun shits and giggles weapon to bring out to the farm though. Challenge the old timers to run through a full 20 mag without stopping hahahaha.
I was looking online they also make a drum that fits it lol
Better hold on tight! Lol
No kidding. The wood bird head grip is slippery as hell. I'm running mini shells through it with the opsol mini adapter.
@Drexyl @Pumped_ @Triggerman83 @Bill1976 @scoobydoo
I really gotta stop going to the shops on my days off… picked up both of these oldies for $250 cash. I would’ve paid that for the S&W alone haha! Both in functioning shape going to take down and clean later today.
Jenning J-22 22LR with old Bucheimer case
&
S&W M&P 1905 serial starts with 26xxxx catalog states that 240000-700000 were 1915-1942. Guesstimated to be before 1920 and it is a factory Blued edition.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous. Are you going to shoot the revolver or clean and have as a showoff piece? By the way you stole them at that price, good job! lol
Revolver was at $225, and the Jennings was at $100. I was honestly shocked they said yes to $250, but cash is king!
Oh I just cleaned it and timing seems right, there is rifling, etc. I’m going to shoot it 100% atleast once. Both of these will probably end up being looked at more than shot though. I love the history of firearms almost as much as I like shooting them and working on them!
I actually just put a rubber grip on my S&W, went to the range this weekend and shot some pretty spicy .357 and it beat the shit out of my hand, maybe I’m getting old lol
I actually like the rubber on newer six shooters. I got a Hogue rubber cushioned extended grip for my LCR and it just adds about a finger width so I can actually fit my pinky on it- essentially giving up a little concealment for a much better shooting experience though.
Nah man .357 will leave ya sore… my uncle has a .500 mag and my ego makes me shoot it every time lol. The next day I always feel like I have severe arthritis throughout my whole hand and wrist.
That is an awesome grab! Those are prices from the 90’s! When I was 21years old the first “legal” purchase was a Jennings 9mm, nickle & black $99. Barrel had the nickle coating chipped off by the weekend lol. Was awesome little pistol at that time, I remember how slick and slim it looked compared to everything else THEN.
I’d bet that old s&w has been on a department or 10! Looks very clean! I have a few old revolvers. One I thought was very cool, learned about the “timing” of revolvers. The oldie I have is out of time & unsafe to shoot, but still a cool collector.
Is the revolver single action?
Either or. DA still surprising smooth too! Interally super nice. Just cleaned and it has a surprising amount of rifling left!
That S&W has the potential to last practically forever…
Oh yeah. I bet by the time I have grandkids it’ll shoot the same as it does today. They were used by so many for a reason!
Under the barrel it has a “B” before the serial number and I just guessed that meant blued. Found out via S&W subreddit “historians” that it is indeed a factory blued edition. Pretty neat and they say if it functions I probably have a $300-$400 gun.
$400-500
Damn! Either way I’m keeping it haha. I don’t see any reason it won’t sling lead down range, but I’ll have to test it to find out.
Man it’s just almost therapeutic to clean guns. I love getting new ones and learning the in’s and out’s while disassembling and putting back together. Having something barely function then going to smooth as butter just with a little CLP & TLC is beyond satisfying.
That's how i know your a good ole boy from TX. Ur ready to have a stand off with that six shooter. Lol
One of the most massively produced guns of the previous century! Many military and police carried these and put their lives in its hands for decades. Only reason I got such a deal is the amount there is left. Some are functional and decent, but the majority have been through hell!
One thing I love about a good six-shooter… it may have a few less shots, but it will ALWAYS go bang when I pull that trigger.
Yeah they're durable and that bitch ain't jamming. Also people used to say they don't dump empty's.
I stil remember when cops had those guns. Allot of older cops had them into the 2000s. They just didn't wanna switch to an auto. But i get it cuz in the heat of the moment it won't jam and just pull the trigger and it shoots no cocking.
But still Texas made those guns infamous.
Hell yeah! Im in taxachusetts so no good shows or auctions or shops like that. Id be stocking up just because i can and probably never use them. Just stock up like the BOGO deal lol. The m&p's are .38s right?
Yessir it shoots .38 spcl. Apparently it’ll fit an old case called .38 S&W aswell. Had never heard of it. Reddit historians have been schooling me. Cool to find a fun this old fully functioning with all original furniture and matching barrel/butt/cylinder serial #’s.
Haha I’ve been doing that essentially. Lots of good private sellers and even pawn shop deals out here. Monthly gun show I always go to in Dallas. Texas has a generally lower cost of living, and firearms are FINALLY starting to drop after the whole “COVID” fiasco.
