You guys (and gals) are a bad influence.

In the last week, I've bought:

1. A set of Rogers grips for my S&W 15.
2. Miscellaneous vintage holster catalogs, circa mid-70's.
3. A mint S&W Model 68.

[csheehy]

Well, it took me longer than a week, but:
1) Rogers grip for 2” 15-3
2) Rogers K-frame grips (need a new K frame, ideally a 4” Model 15)
3) Rogers grips for a vintage Ruger Security Six
4) Rogers grips for my 640
5) Aegis belt
6) Various bits and pieces under the heading of Sure-Fire Legos
7) JM kydex for the G17
8) Safariland 637 for same (on order)

And that’s just off the top of my head.

[OlongJohnson]

I placed an order for custom 3D printed GP100 grips, which will fully consume the money I took in (or expect to take in) by selling an AR barrel, two 1911 mags and a Safariland holster.

3. A mint S&W Model 68.

Look up. I’ll post more when it arrives and I can get it. Not a legit CHP gun.

[Poconnor]

I sold 16 guns and traded or bought 5 more
- Winchester 70 SS classic- new haven gun
-S&W model 342
-S&W model 12 4”
-S&W model 66 F Comp
-Ruger SP101

NIB?

[RAM Engineer]

NIB?

That’s what the listing said. It’s in one of those commemorative boxes. With a CHP association crest on the starboard side.

My S&W book is at work in my office so I haven’t been able to check the backstory. I’ve been teleworking since March 15.

[Bigghoss]

If I told you guys what I bought in the last week or so you'd think I was bragging. But I sold some expensive stuff too.

I’ll help you out. From the SCSW:

“California Highway Patrol Commemorative: 1984 Caliber – .38 Special, a limited edition Commemorative version of the CHP Model 68 offered in May 1984, engraved with the CHP “Winged Wheel” on the sideplate, with “California Highway Patrol” engraved on the barrel, with belt buckle, laser engraved walnut presentation case.”

Looks like I've been well behaved compared to some of you. The last firearm related things I ordered were in mid-July... another 1,000 125gr JHP 38 special bullets (gotta grab 'em when you can these days) which just arrived; and a Bowen Rough Country rear sight for the GP100 MC which I'm still waiting on. Thinking about what's next, but there's really nothing that can't wait a while and haven't seen any gotta-have-it revolvers on the shelves recently. They aren't selling as quickly as the mainstream stuff locally, just that most of what I've seen recently has been either overpriced, or duplicates what I already have.

The only thing I've ordered recently is a Mernickle holster for my Model 19. I grabbed some Wilson Elite 8-round magazines earlier this year.

I bought a bunch of 9mm and .38s when Wally-Woild was selling off their stock. Then Covid hit and I haven't shot off hardly any of it.

I'd like to get a 66-8 snubbie. Don't need it, though.

Yes you do

Its probably the single most practical sixgun imo

Do tell...

[PNWTO]

I’ll use this thread to call out jetfire due my impromptu purchase of a .38 LCRx 3”. Already ordered some CT grips and a variety of loads. Should become my new “bum around” and lightweight hiking go-to.

FWIW it was LNIB at about 50% of what retail would be new. Now if I can just find the .22 snubby version, a 43c, or a 351c.

[Bigghoss]

Do tell...
Posted all of it in the galley:

Remington 11-87 police with everything to deck it out
Beretta 92GA1
Sig M18
Remington 1100

Accessories and ammo too numerous to recall.

I also sold $2180 worth of stuff. And I had worked many OT shifts in the last couple months so I had some extra spending money.

[mmc45414]

Yeah, just out of curiosity I pulled a CSV file down from the Mastercard and looked at what all I spent while I was on furlough with time on my hands. Big Mistake... :cool:

Last time I looked, Grabagun had the 22 Mag snubs, but that was a week ago and who knows what it's like now

As one of the funders, I expect to see pictures when they arrive.

[OlongJohnson]

Will do. He emailed a screenshot of the scanned 3D model this morning. Looks a lot like the automatically surfaced scan data I deal with at work. I'm crossing my fingers that the printed article is good, or can at least be cleaned up to what I want it to be.

[RAM Engineer]

Finally got it picked up. Don’t hate on my poor photography skills. I’m not big on “commemorative guns”, but I wanted a Model 68 and this was what I found. It’s been so long since I shot a 6” K-frame I forgot what it’s like to have a set of sights with ZERO light on either side of the front post. I thought I might install a thinner patridge with a gold bead until I realized it’s not a removable front sight. So I guess I’m going to look for a wider rear blade.

New grips too. I just bought a pair of Rogers/Safariland for a K-Square. I might use those, or something nice in wood. I’d like them to be somewhat period correct. Maybe I’ll just use a set of Pachmayr Grippers. ;)

Now I’m on the hunt for a nice condition Bianchi 2800 “The Judge”

Edit: I need to correct my earlier statement that the gun is "mint". While it does indeed appear to be unfired, it is not "mint" by my definition. Cylinder turn line indicates someone liked to handle it...

Looks like there is at least 2 in serviceable condition on the ebay right now. I suspect that they would shine right up with leather moisturizer and good cream polish ( Saphir, Kelly's etc.)

Great looking Smith.

Not the model you asked for but NOS and sexy as well as it is a front break

Thanks! I saw those NOS 27K holsters and was thinking about them as a second choice. I won a really good Judge that was CHP marked on Ebay, and the seller cancelled the sale after I won. I asked him why and he said he had "forgotten that he sold it at a flea market". :\

Another option is a new AE Nelson breakfront, but I don't know how they compare to the classic Bianchi models.

Forgive my terrible and hasty photos.

I am just tired of chasing soulless plastic and find myself gravitating to the revolver cases again every time I go to the local shops. Yesterday these two came home after unloading some items.

62118
Ruger Blackhawk .357 with a set of custom stag stocks. The receipt for them was in the box and the previous owner paid $200 for them. The barrel is engraved 50th anniversary edition.

62119
S&W 28-2 Highway Patrolman. Very excited to finally have an N Frame gun. It came with the Millet red dot installed and no box or rear sight. I am planning to remove the dot and maybe get a C&S fixed rear for it. Came with a set of Pachmayr presentation grips, but I immediately swapped them out for a set of NIB Rogers Combat grips that I have been saving. Trigger is incredible. DA is an effortless rolling break. SA is mouse fart light. The outside face of the trigger guard and the frame are beadblasted flat. I can only assume this setup was designed around some kind of accuracy/bullseye shooting needs.

An Alfonso holster is en route that I grabbed off of Ebay last night.
