Did you purchase a firearm last year?

[jmcd]

I just read a recent NRA article that Americans purchased 13.9 million firearms in 2019 based off of an NCIS background formula used. Did you purchase a firearm and if so was it a rifle, shotgun, pistol, revolver or other? There has been such a recent influx of great firearms in the recent past, I bought 4 pistols last year. (I have never bought that many in a year) Still married and not even living in the dog house.

If you seen my earlier post, I just got a Gen 5 Glock 19.

4? I'm lucky I bought 1 new and did a trade on 1 used. If I bought 4 in a year, I deffinately would be sleeping on the air mattress in the bed of my truck that I keep prepared for when I do buy another in secret!

I know I bought a couple, but sometimes I forget that I bought them. I have every intention on shooting them, then I end up putting them up because I'm not able to shoot them right away. I did buy a Springfield Super Match. XDM 3.8 and a M1 garand with a serial number in the 29xxx. Every once in a while I pull the guns out to clean them and find a new one that I forgot I bought.

I think that in 2018 it was 8, and last year it was 7, one this year so far.
They were all lost in a boating incident last night.

I don't even care to list the ones bought in 2018. Like you, all are gone, loaned to the Virginia Militia for those without firearms to show up armed at the protests.

Yes. I bought a XD-S MOD.2 9mm. My Son and Son in law both bought XD MOD.2s in 9mm. We all enjoy going to the range and lunch together afterwards.

David N. XDS Mod 2 in 9mm is one of my preferred to carry. Love that little gun.

Very bad year for boating mishaps. Make sure you have paperwork on-hand to prove you actually did own a boat, for if/when "they" showup.

Yes ! I purchased A Springfield Armory "Saint" AR-15 pistol. Put a red dot sight on it .It's much different then any firearm I have previously owned, Spent a few weeks taking apart putting together & then to the range. zeroed in at 50 yards.This is my home security firearm.I really like this firearm.Got 6 30 round magazines & a ton of ammo. "Good to go"

 

[SMSgtRod]

I only have 4 30 round mags.... would you suggest I get a couple more.
Can't have too many, right?

 

[georgiajeeper]

I picked up the XDM OSP 9, an XDM ODG 40, and a Ruger SR-556 Takedown.

Yikes trainee, I've got over 20- 30 round mags, 2 40's coupled together and 10- 10round mags. Actually I got about 8-9 AR15 .223/5.56 & 300 BO that came with 1 to 2 mags each & then I bought a few more plus the 10 rounders.

 

[Bloodknight]

I just picked 6 as a number.But "Yes" you can never have to many.They don't cost much.I use to use only Rugers in my mini 14 and they were like $50.00 each.Also,the way things are going.who knows if 30 round mags will be available.It seems soon we will all be felons.I think its best to get it while you can.A lot could happen,depending on the election outcome this November.I don't think "Any" state is safe

BET 7 "Expecting Company ?"

 

[georgiajeeper]

I took advantage of the Ruger 20% discount and picked up 4 of the 300 BO mags to go along with the 3 mags that came with the SR. This is my first rifle, so it's a start.

Well Bloodknight, there are those that call me a tad paranoid.

I have the SR-556 TD as well georgiajeeper. I jumped on their web site and grabbed the 300 BO barrel to go along with the 5.56 that came with it. Sweet.
