Not that several don't interest me, but I've been on the sidelines all of this year to date...and even stretching back into October of last year when I bought an old CZ82. Must be some sort of (recent) record for me. And not even a New Year's resolution to go with this. This time last year I had fallen off the wagon and had three new guns in the ol' cupboards by St. Valentine's. This year...no similar compunction at all.

I must be gittin' old.

I haven't bought any since May 2017. There certainly comes a point where adding another doesn't add much to the pleasure of ownership.

You probably need a doctor....

I did not buy a single gun in all of 2017. Last week I saw a good deal on Anderson lowers ($32) and got three of them.

Sometimes the only motivator is price for me lately...but even that is hard to justify, since I don’t need anything.

I need to upgrade a couple of my guns before i add any more to the safe.

It's still early in the year. Let us know if you still haven't in November.

At the old age (77) i am having a hard time finding any thing i like under $2000.00 .This week in Florida i was in three gun stores Shooters World Tampa, Reload Tarpon Springs and LGS Old Time Gun Shop Hudson. I must be losing it .

Biggest surprise, I only bought one so far this year.

you have refined and developed your taste, your taste buds are all grown up!

SoggySpinout,
How do you like your CZ82?

I am trying not to. But I am on a gun a month at this point...March might be ugly for me.

Bought a loaded S&W Victory with a bunch of VQ stuff and a P320 X5. Both off the forum.

On the lookout for a 9mm Dan Wesson . And I want one of those B&T GHM9.

Didn't make it to March. Bought the Dan Wesson and a Sig Match Elite....

2 so far for me. Prices caused me to jump:
P250 9mm compact with night sights and 3 mags - $350.
1988 German P226 triple serial (mud rails ) with 3 original zipperback mags - $400

None yet this year for me. When I walk into the local LGS I just can't find anything that peaks my interest.

1988 P226 with "mud rails"? Are you sure they are true mud rails? From everything that I have seen/read, the mud rails were only made on the Tysons Corner P226s of 1986 and 1987.

Im in the same boat. Working part-time in a gun shop and examining all the latest guns has soured me on buying ANY new gun.

Im always more interested in what might walk in the door than I am in anything FedEx or UPS brings.

Everyday is a gunshow. Regards 18DAI

I only bought one rifle last year. 50BMG.

Hell I sold 2.

I did buy one though and that one is old school. So net I am down one.

5 out, 4 in. Buy low, sell high.

Just won a Walther P-5 compact on gunbroker, which is my "I'm done" gun....at least for awhile. Been finding too many "I wants" lately.
Guess I'm making up for the 3 years I didn't buy any.
