What's your latest "impulse buy" . . . . . ?

[toast]

It was a safe 17 days, but now it is over.

Anyway, enjoy bradsteen!

I bought a Tru-Glo for the rifle. I used it the other day. Excellent sightings it just weights a ton of bricks....

With stimulus checks, lots of free time to peruse classifieds, I figured that I'm not the ONLY one who has made an impulse buy lately.

Just brought this one home yesterday.

What's your latest "impulse buy?"

I was at bi-mart this afternoon looking for some things for the tomato. Ended up buying a gun...

I don't need one but couldn't pass up the TAURUS TX-22 GEN 2. From physical looks It has a different barrel, Glock iron sight, slide and comes with a 16 and 22 round magazine.

Don't you also own the Gen 1 version??

Yes.. Its not the best .22 hand gun in accuracy. But hands down the most reliable that I own in the .22 hand gun category. I always have that loaded in my house for just in case situation.

My old TX-22 I fired it over 10,000 rounds. It goes through it so fast with no anomaly. Amazing I havent even change 1 part and everything is dialed bone stock. I just use federal automatch. Sometimes Aguila or other exotic ammos. I try to preserve the barrel in the best that I can.
The good news is the old 16 rounder magazines fits to the gen 2. So 9 + 2 new ones + 3 coming from factory rebate.

Well it occurred to me that as much as I preach (and live by) restraint and research, that I did in fact have an impulse buy.

Not recently but about a year ago as my last firearm purchase. Some may know that I have a weak spot for shotguns and when I saw this at a very good price I could not resist it.

H&R topper model 58, has '12ga 3" full' stamped on the barrel so I am honestly not sure if this is factory or was cut down and the variable choke added (quite well I will admit) to make the barrel a legal length without a stamp.

Absolutely gorgeous patina on it, great lockup and wood furniture. Looks like a kids gun but has a very nice LOP for my 6'1" frame so I am leaning towards it was a custom job. (If you know otherwise I'd love some info on it)

Swings like a 16" AR does, although I haven't yet made the time to go shoot it.

I justified it as being a very nice hiking or travel in the vehicle long gun, but we all know I just wanted the dang thing. Even though I was working a lot of hours at the time, 99% of my collection is very modest to cheap (or at least what I paid, not in quality) and it fit the cost variable so I treated myself.

I haven't shot it yet but "Stubby" comes to mind lol.



Edit: after looking closer at the pictures and seeing the choke has -Savage- on it I'm still going to lean on it being a custom build.

Sweet, and yes someone did that later in its life.

Snagged a CZ P-01 the other day, almost bought a shadow 2 compact but the deals are better online than in stores more often than not
