I have been on a firearms acquisition spree lately. This hobby is just as addicting to me as guitar/gear for sure!
My first purchase was an H&K VP9 9mm with a laser/flashlight combo. We got this to keep at home in the (secured) nightstand.
Recent Purchases
Since there was not overwhelming objection expressed in the AGF Weirdness topic regarding firearms, I decided to post again for anyone interested.

My first purchase was an H&K VP9 9mm with a laser/flashlight combo. We got this to keep at home in the (secured) nightstand. My next purchase was a Springfield Armory Saint Victor chambered in 5.56/.223. This rifle rocks! Planned upgrades are a good sling, 1x prism scope and flashlight. Just after Christmas I picked up a Taurus G3C 9mm. Since the laser sight on the H&K prevented it fitting in a concealable holster, I justified this purchase as I wanted a carry firearm as well, so, there you go! Lastly, since I only had a slug shotgun for deer hunting, I rationalized a shotgun purchase so that I had a gun I could shoot buckshot out of. Hence the Weatherby Tactical SA-459 12 guage shotty. I thought I was done for a while but I have recently gotten the itch to pick up a Sig P365 as it's a bit smaller than the Taurus.

Long ago, in a galaxy raw far away, my old man had a Weatherby 450 custom made (left-handed) when they we still manufactured in the UK for safari and big game (that was his thing). One of my brothers has it now...

Nice haul. Now the problem is feeding them all 
I have noticed that there is at least some shotgun ammo back on the shelves around here at times. 9mm is coming back down to about $.50 -$.55 a round in bulk online, but that's still 3x what it was last summer.

I am thinking another 8-12 months before supply is back to normal and pricing returns to slightly non-inflated levels. The wild card being overall inflation and the devaluation of the USD hitting commodities like copper and lead.
Next time things are stabile, I am going to build up a much bigger stockpile than I have kept for the last decade.

Last one, I promise...
Wasn't looking to buy today but there it was. Only 1 in stock, that's why I picked it up. If you wait, someone else buys it. I waited 2 days to pick up a Henry 22 lever action and it was gone when I went to get it.
Ruger EC9S Sub-compact.

Kind of like the last potato chip right? 
. Lever actions are cool, check out the 10/22 from ruger as well - probably the most customizable and one of the most reliable 22lr rifles ever made. I still have an old-school carbine version that belonged to my Wife's grandfather and I picked up a takedown version with a Magpul Backpacker stock. Even though there are 50 years plus between them, the mags and trigger assembly/action are virtually identical and interchangeable.
