What did you buy yourself today - PART 2

[borekfk]

Damn triangle folders are hot. I've wanted one for ages.

When I put in a low bid on a gun I'm always 1/2 hoping I'll lose and 1/2 hoping I win - lol. Won this one. Brand new from a shop in NC $250 below Palmetto's current price for it. Wonder what the deal was. After I paid shop said if I'm interested, he has 2 of them if I'm interested in another Stock image from Palmetto. I'm told these GF3 version are good quality. We shall see.

Vintage 2018 or so.

Over the last few years, Toro has been "improving" them with gimmicky shit that I don't care for, and the 2022 Super Recycler has been totally redesigned - and they ELIMINATED the side discharge. THANKS Toro! (assholes)
I just wanted to get my hands on another unit that was identical to my other ones before I can't find anything in good condition.
"New features" can be nice, but there's a lot to be said for the ability to swap parts and have multiple units that all use the same parts.
The only negative on THIS one, is that it's got the "Toro" engine, vs the Honda engine on my other mowers.

The closest matching current model runs $700.
It's not "like new", but it's really close, and I paid far less than a box of steel case 9mm for it.

Whats the magazine capacity?

Love my Waffen marked WWII guns. Have had a CZ 27 on the list for a while and my shop had one today and couldn't beat the price so said yes please! Had been in a family for as long as they can remember, probably a bring back. Only thing that doesn't match is the magazine - it says P Mod 24 not 27. Funny thing is my shop said the last one he got in had the same 24 not 27 marked magazine. Going to do some research but anyone here know why? Just a mis matched mag and no other explanation?

* looks like cz 24 was a .380 and the cz 27 is a 32 but 24 mags do work in the 27 - similar to the Mauser HSC pistols that use the same mag for 32 and 380! from what i've read the P Mod 24 are actually "rarer" and pricier.

Certainly one of the fuglier pistols of WWII. Neat find though.

^^^I agree about it being fugly - but wanted - lol. Almost as ugly as my Frommer Baby!! I have yet to see another Baby in the wild though

Not today, but in the last month or so. A couple from Palmetto State Armory. First a PSA Dagger with threaded barrel and suppressor height night sights. And Second a PSA PA-10 in .308 topped off with a Vortex 1x8 Strike Eagle. Both shoot well and are accurate on the initial outing.

I read somewhere that a lot of returning GIs were made to dispose of the magazine’s for their bring back trophies by their commanding officers. Possibly that could be why the majority of these pistols, if a bring back, have a replacement magazine that isnt quite right.

Could be - seems fairly common. I'm just glad the mag is a CZ and from around the same time vs a modern circle K or something! Thanks!
