Major 2, I got the K-22 in a trade, Guy that owned it traded it for a Ruger SP-101 .38 special I had, even trade.I think I got the better end of the deal.Sorry, but not for sale or trade.

[DeaconKC]

I did a check on the SN on the K22, it too was made in 1948!

You Guys!  .....

Trading or selling off something is my modus operandi now days...
Some of my favorite acquisitions were from a trade.
My late friend & shooting pard and I, traded numerous times.

I've also traded with my friend at the LGS. But only his own or retail stock.
If there is a consigned piece they know I'll have interest in, I get a heads up and a deal.
But It has to be cash, so I come up with that or sell something for the scratch. 

I have had to limit my search, as Gun Broker "IMHO" is no longer a safe haven.
 
Congrats to you both, K22's are very desirable, and to me 1948 would be icing on the cake!

Well, got the Colt 1991 home. Night sights and a good trigger. Even though it is plastic, it may stay in the gun. The plastic MSH has got to go though.

[DeaconKC]

Welp, brought another CAS gun home today. A Bond Arms Rough & Rowdy, .45 Colt or .410. Should be interesting to shoot...
Also, picked up some 250 grain JHPs for it...

[Major E A Sterner]

Just so you're aware. The extra barrels for the Bonds are addictive, Kind of like potato chips, you can't just have one.

It's been a while since I last fell off the wagon, but fall I did.
Yesterday this one came home with me, it is a Sauer Model 1913 (2nd Variant) serial number puts in 1916.
Not a martial arm per se, but with the arms shortage particularly handguns,
these were authorized by the German Government for purchase by Officers as their side arm in WW1.

Model 1913, Variant 2 – serial number approximately 5000 (with transitional pistols noted in the 5000 to 8700 range) – 134000 approximately.

The magazine safety was eliminated, and the rear sight was improved.  Instead of the V-shaped notch the gun has a flat spring on top, the rear portion of which forms the rear sight and also secures the breech cap.  (This flat spring latch and sight is reminiscent of the sight for the Bär pistol, which also served as the release for the rotating block.  The hole in the rear of the screw cap is eliminated.  The gun continues to have serrations only on the sides of the screw cap, and not on the slide.  There is an “S” beneath the safety lever to indicate the gun is safe when the lever is down.  The thumb grip portion of the safety lever has circular grooves through at least serial number 32121.  The circular grooves are replaced by checkering by at least serial number 32482.  The hard rubber grip plates are only slightly rounded at the top, with a distinct cutout at the upper left corner to accommodate the motion of the manual safety lever, and the S&S monogram in an elongated oval at the top.

Well, can't use it for CAS, but fun anyway. A Rossi Ranch Hand in .45 Colt.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Nice, Deacon.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I fell off the wagon, again. 
A S&W Model 15-3 followed me home.

[Major 2]

Nice K Frame

[Silver Creek Slim]

It was made in 1972.

[DeaconKC]

Couldn't resist this little beast when it showed up at work. A GSG 522, a little .22 copy of the H&K MP5.

[Major 2]

That is cool 

[Major E A Sterner]

If I lived in a free state I would own one of these.

[Coffinmaker]

  Really?? 

Other than Hunting People, it wouldn't be of much use.

If your that unhappy, quit whining and move.

[Major E A Sterner]

It's a .22, a range toy, not made for hunting people, That has to be one of the most ignorant things I've seen on this thread. If you don't like someones choice of firearms just scroll past. No need to comment. And as far as moving,I would be out of this state if I could, but I have responsibilities here that take precedence.

[Coffinmaker]

Ah, you'll get over it.  There simply wasn't any qualifying commentary that showed it to be other than a straight military(esque).

Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

I actually try not to step all over others preferences.  In some areas, I am somewhat opinionated, which I try not to make much ado over.  Apologies.

[Delmonico]

Sounded like the comment of a lefty liberal to me, not sure how it could have been taken any other way. 

But to be sure as we tell the LL's just because it looks like something don't mean it is.  But go ahead and give another dumb excuse.   

[Coffinmaker]

And then we have a completely inane "Label" applied by an ultra right thinking conservative with absolutely no knowledge of an individuals basis for an opinion.
