A pair of Beretta .22lr semi auto training rifles. These were made for the Italian Army during the Cold War years and have a cool history. Interesting note: one is hammer fired and one is striker fired. It was just the luck of the draw since they were just plucked off the pallets at a distributor with no hand-pick. Accurate and heavy for a .22 rifle.

Sold my S&W 357 magnum years ago. I always regretted it. I was looking for “the one”
She spoke to me last week at the gun shop. I didn’t want to spend that much. This Friday I went back and hoped it was sold. Still there. .... I asked to hold it. Right then, I knew then it was coming home with me.
S&W performance center. Heavy at 34 ounces, Nice trigger and ported barrel. I took her to the range today. It’s a dream to shoot 357 magnum with this. Very little muzzle flip due to the ported barrel. Amazing. It was a good day. 7D0B4811-1CF7-46AC-AEE4-5A587F25CE9A.jpeg 01BE3860-9DC8-4A8E-B6D6-B008753D9CDA.jpeg D11F40B7-3B8D-4E58-9630-B84649B1B05C.jpeg
 
New to me

View attachment 416177

f***ing love this thing. Just shot it the first time this afternoon.

Nice. I'm not a huge 1911 fan, but I am a 10mm fan. I'm tempted to get a P220 in 10mm to go next to my G20.


As far as the theme of this thread: New for me in November, a P365, and a NHSP marked S&W 66, no dash, P&R.

Considering this is my retirement month, and I need to figure out the money situation, I may not buy anything in December. BUT....if I trip over something I want, I'll probably buy it.

I’ve always felt that 1911s are a little overrated, and super fuddy, which is why I wanted one in 10mm.
 
I love my P220 Legion in .45ACP, but would love to find one in 10MM as well. 10mm has become one of my favorite calibers, drawing close to .45ACP. I realize it’s all subjective, but that my mindset right now.

I recently found a 220 emperor scorpion in 10mm. I hate the piranha grips so I replaced them with Hogue's which are so much better. The frame is all steel so its freakin' heavy! But that heft sucks up the 10mm and makes it feel like a 45ACP.

Did you find that here or elsewhere, local or online?

Found it at a LGS here in MA, called them up as soon as they posted it and had them hold it for me. It definitely pays to have a good relationship with your local shops.

CZ 1012 in Bronze on Black Friday. Went looking to get a couple cases of 12 and 20 and left with .

The other one, CZ Redhead Premier I got as a Birthmus gift for the wife. Her birthday is 12/24. Once we got it fitted properly she’s been crushing the clays with it.
