Jesus Christ....I thought that thing was real and you were kidding around about basement plinking, lol.
Stopped into Hitman Firearms for some ammo. Ended up walking out with this used Winchester 1200. Been thinking about trying clays, couldn't beat the price.
Also splurged on a Boker Ridgeback. Coye designed, not at a Coye price.
And here is where the $200 from the wife went. Rossi R92 44 Magnum. Awesome deal I think was used from FS surprised it lasted over a week @ $350 looks like it was only fired a few times. No scratches and came with a cool ammo pouch.

I have not acquired yet it so not sure it counts for August although I might still qualify if I pick it up on the Saturday I get back from Hawaii....but I took advantage of the tax fee holiday and ordered and paid for a Walther ppk/s .380 blued.
Not so much a firearm but it will help me transport them
2012 subaru legacy....sorry I cant seem to turn it on my phone

Nice....I saw a nice one of those at KTP, alongside a marlin guide gun in .44 mag.(which is really an 1894ss)....the only reason I didn't take one of them home(and I'm subsequently still married) is that I was on the bike.
I've always had a thing for the guide guns, and this one was butter smooth in the action, and had just enough wear to indicate it had been used, not beaten. I may take a trip back down and snag it if it's still there

Been looking for a stainless Mark II target for a while but could never find a real nice one for what I wanted to pay.
Well a new shop opened up about 4 miles from my house so I had to go down and check it out. Low and behold, they had a stainless Mark II government target model. Put a down payment on it and picked it up tax free this weekend.
The shop had it listed as "new, old stock" and claimed it didn't seem to ever have been fired. I just field stripped and I might believe them. There's still assembly grease in the bolt and safety switch.

I've got two small things to add this month
First is a custom 2011 I had built to my specs, and the second is a few modifications to my S&W 41, including extra mag release, lightened barrel with interchangable front sigjts

New additions to the family. S&W 10-5 38spl and a Jennings chrome J-22. The smith needs to be cleaned up but overall in pretty good shape. Has not been fired in over 25 years. The Jennings was bought new in the late 80's and has never been fired. (Probably a good thing) Even the box and factory paper work is mint.

Picked up a new Rock Island Armory 1911 GI today from Pullman arms. Good gun, only complaints are the sights (whixh I usually replace anyways) and I want toss on a new hammer. $420 for the gun plus a $50 rebate from RIA puts this brand new 1911 at $370 after the dust clears. Can't beat that price with a stick.
Funny you should say that. I ordered one from them back in March. I called them on the phone and they had it in stock. I had it the next week. Only problem was, I didn't get my 500 when I was supposed to. Guess what? I got my S&W 500 today! I've been sitting on the holster for five months. Lol. Anyway here it is:
Nice! I was at Kittery Trading post a few years ago and they actually had one in stock. Bought it on the spot and had it shipped to MA. Thing is a beast.

Let me tell you the story of the Jennings I had years back. Exact same gun. Bought it used for $80 at the Marlboro gun show in January of '02. Took it to the range the next day, loaded a full mag, pointed muzzle down range (damn good thing I did), inserted mag, and with finger outside the trigger guard, racked the slide and the f*cking thing fired all 6 rounds full auto like "Brrrrrp". Holy SHIT!!!! Took it home, disassembled it and found that the breech face had a tiny crack, one small edge of which protruded forward, basically acting as it's own stationary firing pin. I believe some previous owner or owners had dry-fired the living hell out of that gun so much that the striker cracked the breech and pushed it forward. Good lord. I destroyed the slide and held onto the receiver for a few years thinking maybe I'd find a new/used slide in good shape. I never did, so I ended up destroying the receiver as well.
Yeah I have read some horror stories about the Jennings so I fully intend to leave it in its current unfired state. Seeing it only cost me the transfer fee ($40 for both guns), I figure it's still was a pretty good score.
