Anybody bought or got firearm(s) for Christmas?

My Christmas to myself: 1950 Colt Officers Model Special .38 Special.

Almost picked me up a PSL but made a smart decision and decided not to and just wait to get a real SVD.....

Sides, they were wanting 1k for the damned thing. Way too proud.

I just picked up a case of .223

Nice wheelgun. I got a SIG P229 a little while ago but just started shooting it.

Is that heavy barrel and adjustable rear sight the original configuration? Good looking piece in any case but if the revolver is original congratulations you have a very nice piece

That's the original configuration. For some reasons Colt did away with this model (Officers Model Special) and came out with the Officers Model Match with a tapered heavy barrel and a less complicated adjustable rear sight.

This thing shoots like a dream, easily matching my Pythons and actually group better than the Pythons on double action even though the smallish old style grips feel funny in the hand.
