Which firearm would you impulse buy?

357. Indiana will let you hunt deer with it now. I think the 45-70's case is too long to be legal.

This shoots .357 Mag. I've been wanting to hunt deer with it.

I know it's an oddbball, but I just bought a used/NIB Ruger Blackhawk in .30 Carbine with the box and all the box candy. I dated it to 2004.
Now there's the three day delay until I can pick it up.

And with that one, Illinois will let you hunt there, too.

Be sure to double up on on the hearing protection. Fun gun for sure but they are loud. Light little bullet at rifle speeds out of a pistol barrel.

@oremike Thanks for the tip. This will be my third one and I remembered the flash but completely forgot about the boom

I've heard this a lot about 30 Carbine pistols, but my friend with the Automag in 30 Carbine has never mentioned it. He also says everything is for sale, but when I ask about buying the Automag, "It's not for sale."

I came across a 1911 with real WWII street cred. Worn but gorgeous. $1200 I didn't have available to me at the time.
I can't dwell on those lost opportunities.

Which firearm would I impulse buy?

Well, if I could answer that, it wouldn't be an "impulsive" purchase.

As far as something I might be keeping an eye out for, I have to throw in with Joe13. I also bought mags (legally) when I could, for a handgun I've never even held, just because I was sure I'd have one, someday. I don't know enough to be picky about which gen though.

Probably one of those new Henry PC carbines in 9mm. or an AR M4 in 9mm.
That would fill a hole in my collection of ARs in various calibers.

Well I just fell into that trap. My local shop brought in the Masterpiece Arms series, and I could not resist the purchase. They have the polished versions which were awesome, but I order the Black and Gold. One of the most comfortable pistols I have ever held.

MPA DS9 Hybrid Black & Gold

A Remington 700 cdl. Picked it up for one of my kids… thought it was a 270 win but it was a 270 wsm… I did find 2 boxes of ammo.. but it's almost double what regular 270 is, and we still have not even fired it

 

[No_Regerts]

If Winchester made an 1885 low wall in 257 Roberts, 30-30, or 25-35, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

 

[blacksheepnw]

Any CZs (especially a Bren) or any double stack 1911 (2011) NOT manufactured in Türkiye.

 

[Danner013]

Walther PP in 7.65mm. I noticed that Walther is making these again for nearly a thousand bucks. I've got a stainless PPK in 380 and it is fun to shoot.

Older S&W pb/rc revolvers, older pre-crossbolt safety Marlin lever action, especially in 44 mag. Winchester Model 12 and older pre-disconnector Ithaca Model 37, especially in trenchgun configuration.

I have accumulated a number of N Frame Smiths over the years. They are certainly special.

Savage Model 99 in 300 savage....or Marlin 336 in 41 magnum...or....

I had a really nice 99 in 300 Savage advertised on here last year...
The Marlin in 41 Mag would be the 1894. I sold mine about 2010. Yeah, I regret that one.

i've always wanted one of those Henry "big boys".... something like this:

Big Boy All-Weather | Henry Repeating Arms

Big Boy rifles in revolver calibers established the original reputation of our centerfire models. These All-Weather versions let you hunt in the rain and the snow with no fear of creeping rust. We have further upgraded these rifles to include a side loading gate for rapid magazine top-off while...

That "big boy" name is hard to get past for me. It's either self congratulatory or condescending, either way it's embarrassing.
