Glock 43X + 3 Shield Arms mags, Shield Arms mag release, and Night Sights. It could very well replace 3 of my carry guns - Glock 19, Glock 26, and my Ruger LC9s Pro.
How about you, buying any guns in 2022?

Just Ammo
My wife carries the 43x with a LaserMax Grip Sense light/green laser. Nice little gun!
As of now, I am not planning on anything. In fact, I am debating on calling Kasey and meeting up with her again after tax season if she is willing. Or I am sure my bride would be willing to meet her earlier.
Here's mine.

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
This was mine ...
Nothing yet. I only purchased one gun in 2021. I also purchased one box of 32 Special ammo in 2021. That is the only ammo I purchased in 2021, that I can recall.
Looking to add a good double barrel shotgun to the stable ,prefer a 16 or 20 gauge . Maybe even both .
I seem to recall you got some 45 acp too, IIRC.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I have one just like it. Same batteries for the weed wacker,
I tried last night. 1st year '37 win 28 Ga. Went for $3,126. Good to know my 37's are hanging in there. Oh well, there is next time.-----------------------Ray

Maybe it needs a little break in. FTE Only happened once.
Wow! That must be a rare Glock! Was it sold as such?

Oh yeah, I reckon so.
Savage MSR 10 hunter 338 Federal
Put a Forma Tactical trigger in it yesterday
Glock=Perfection!
it is a blur i cant remember😮
Which magazine was that with?
No gun, but I did buy a Canon.
I had to borrow an image.
Canon 1V HS with two consumer grade lenses at a price I couldn't pass up.
One of the Shield Arms mags. But...
Might not be the gun's fault, my front sight also came loose.
I'd hang onto at least one of those other carry pieces.
A used Ruger EC9s at a gun show for a REAL nice price last weekend. It's been carried, but looks like new inside. Going to be my new truck gun to replace a much more expensive pistol.
Does anybody still sell / process 35mm film? My brother has a 1DX, that thing is a brick. especially with the long EF glass. Good pix though. I love my 5d MKIV and the 7D is good. It suffers from the soft focus issue known to plague that body, but if back at cannon being retrained.
I got a new to me 1895 Chilean Mauser all numbers matching except the bayonet. It is a Loewe and is the Carbine length. Will try to get some pics this week. Buddy of mine got a similar rifle from the same batch. He had some ammo so we got to shoot his. His is a good shooter, waiting to get some brass and dies to try mine!
my first new piece in quite a while. Sig P365XL
I have or rather had no plans to buy anything this year but William81 has me thinking about that FN502. Now if I could just find one locally to check out. Bob
FN502 Great plinker.
Nothing yet but always on the lookout for a nice pre 64 model 70.
Oh Yeah. Plenty of film available, if you're willing to pay the price. Having been a film slu,,, err,,, snob since the 70's-80's I've got an 11 cft chest freezer at least half full of film.
Just made a quick check and Dale Labs is still in business. I used them for color (C41- E6) because the darkroom I had access to on the Sinai was only set up for B&W. I haven't sent b&w to a lab since I was in high school.
Almost forgot: I don't know the process or what hardware is needed, but I believe you can re-calibrate the lenses to your camera body with that model.
Trust me I have tried every fix posted on the interwebs, it really is only a problem on fast exposures at high magnification. When I got it the kids were still playing soccer and that meant a lot of telephoto shots at as fast as I could get away with given the light conditions. I have some much better glass now, but the kids are grown.
I think I have on in an estate we are liquidating. If it doesnt sell in the store I'll be listing it on GB.
Another 45rds trough the Glock 43X no FTE's but...
The AmeriGlo front night sight came loose again. I put some loktite on it this time.
Flying to Florida Monday, the 43X will stay home and my Glock 19 and Ruger LC9s Pro will come with me again.
No guns yet but this cold nasty weather and GB ain't helping the do not buy issue one bit

I forgot, my CC is in arms length.
I've bought three so far this year. A Charter Arms 357 for the boat, a Heritage 22/22 mag plinker, and a Savage 64 that will most likely be my grandsons first rifle from Papa.
410 Remington 1100.
Bought my first Winchester 52 yesterday.
I had no intention of buying it so I accidently bought an old Remington 742 30-06 cal.
I learned long ago, only run Glock magazines.
I have amassed all the parts to put together a 80% Glock 26, for under $400.
Also upper parts for a Ar15. I got a 16" SS barrel from Bear creek Arsenal for $103 delivered in 2 days.
I bought 3 lowers last year with my stimulus money.
A g43x is in my future later this year.
Hopefully you can sort it out...only FTF or FTE I have experienced with Glocks in the last 25 plus years were with non OEM
magazines or really crappy ammo. I chuckled a little when you said the front sight came loose. My G43X's first trip to the range resulted in the front sight falling off.
