The ones this year so far are:

1. Dan Wesson 15-2VH 4" .357, about 95%
2. Tanfoglio "Mossad" (same as older EAA Witness) 9mm. Satin nickel frame and SS slide, about90%.

I can't remember which one came first.
 
Old Model Ruger Super Single Six, 6 1/2" barrel, both cylinders, unconverted, 96%+ condition, born the same year I was.
 
I Just traded my Ruger LCP for a Ruger LC9. Waiting for it to come in. Looks to be a nice 9mm. I've been reading on the internet about all these new pocket 9mm's coming out and I chose the Ruger. Kahr, Sig, Kimber are way over priced. The Kel Tec PF9 sounds like a good pistol in its price range...but I went with Ruger.
 
Smith & Wesson M 19-3 4". Won an auction with a high bid of $271.10.
Cons -> Looks like it spent a lot of time in someones truck. Lots of general blue ware, except on the back strap, so I don't believe that it was a cops duty weapon. Came with a set of butt ugly Goodyears.

Pros-> timing and lock up is TIGHT. No push off problems. Slight turn ring. Ejector rod spins dead true. Rear sights are are on for windage (sp) elevation is off some, but nothing that can't be reset.

Spent lots of time cleaning with brass wool and lighter fluid, pulled side plate cleaned and lubed, applied some cold blue. A friend lent me a nice set of magnas. I'm getting ready to order some bonded Ivory magnas and hope to locate a T-grip.

So for less than the price of a new Taurus I have a great shooter grade M-19.
