    5 Months gone

    Except for ordering suppressors, returning my ARs to OEM specs. and ordering some ammunition for home delivery, I really haven't anything bought anything firearms related since moving to Kentucky.

    I already had OEM magazines for most of my guns and the few handguns that have 10 or less round capacity magazines (sub compacts, etc.) don't benefit from or don't have higher capacity magazines available.

    The only things that I am looking for are some older, off (CA) roster handguns that are just hard to find anywhere. (Old S&W revolvers, etc)

    Do many of you guys on here find that you really don't immediately go out and buy a bunch of new stuff after leaving Cali.?

    I was the opposite. I went on a shopping spree since moving to KY. Suppressors, PCC's, Form 1 SBR, other non CA pistols, FRT, binary. And surprisingly got my first bolt action, in .243 since moving out here, a Remington 700.

    I was always a gun person, but the real big change was that I got into archery and deer hunting. Also got into waterfowl hunting as of last weekend. It's been great.

        I think after living in CA for so long I accumulated all my dream handguns. Now that I’m in TX, my purchasing has slowed down quite a bit. I’ve only gotten a suppressor and a Walther PDP-F. But otherwise, I haven’t been motivated to buy much else.

            I moved to TX 5 years ago, and in the first year, I only purchased a Mossberg Shockwave and a G43 for concealed carry. Wasn't in a real hurry to get anything else. But eventually I figured a move was not going to hamper my bucket list of guns, so of course I eventually started to buy what I really wanted (a novelty notion), and also eventually started to thin out the CA guns I no longer wanted (3rd gen Glocks), and diving into the world of PCCs (Scorpion, SP5), suppressors, single action revolvers, and 2011s. Purchasing just became easier, cheaper, and everything was available.

            Same with ammo- it is just nice to order online, pay for it with a CC, and have it dropped at your doorstep.

            But also time is marching on, my tastes change, I retired a couple of months ago. I plan to thin the herd even more, getting rid of some older Sigs out of that collection, S&Ws, Rugers, etc.stuff I bought years ago in CA. And it is easier, since PPTs are non FFL face to face. I have reached the end of my bucket list.

            But for you, it's only been 5 months. Give it time

              When first moved got some new guns started sbr and suppressor paperwork stuff

              After about a year and half just buying ammo occasionally. No desire for new guns. Spent money on classes and range time instead. Public land being close allows easy range time too which is awesome.

                I guess since I'm a bolt rifle guy that there wasn't really anything restricting my purchases in Cali. I have a bunch of left handed bolt guns.

                After having a couple AR15s and an AR10, I really didn't need or want any other semi's and I've shot enough full auto in the military that I have no desire for any of those.

                Pistols are tools to me so a half a dozen of those are all I need except that I'd like to get a few more old S&W revolvers.

                  The second I got to AZ I bought a Walther Q5 Match SF as I've wanted one since I first ever saw it.
                  Since then it's just been a few random handguns and lowers and mk18 etc
                  Then the suppressor bug bit. Surefire RC2, followed by a rimfire can, handgun cans etc

                    Built my SBR and bought a slew of Gen 5 Glocks.

                    In the pipeline I'm going to cut down a Marlin .44 just for fun, still deciding on what .22 I want to suppress, deciding what suppressor for the SBR and SPR, and a 9mm SBR (Thinking the PSA AKV9).

                      I went bananas. I sold off a ton of stuff before I left the PRK specifically so I would have the cash for an epic gun buying binge. I bought all sorts of stuff the dark lords of California had banned such a an S&W Governor, Thermal scopes, A Remington Tac 13, Glock 40 MOS, Silencers, Sig Rattler . I was a kid in a candy store. I'm greeted by name now in all the local gun stores here.

                          I would really want a suppressor for my Glock 21s. Got the threaded barrel ready.

                          I recently bought some air gun suppressed devices, because why ?, because I still can.

                            I am going to buy a thermal scope since it's legal to hunt coyotes and varmints with them here and not in Cali.

                              Same here OP. In the year I lived in Nevada, I reconfigured my AR to normal and bought some normal Magpul magazines. As for new additions, most were C&R rifles/shotguns/handguns with about 6 new ones being "non CA rooster". Walther PDP, Beretta APX and 92A1, Sig P320, P365 and M18.
