I know this can change moment to moment. But just curious what y'all are searching for and why? How long have you been on your quest?

As I compose this, mine would be a K frame M&P in .32 S&W Long. Why? I think it would be a fun to shoot.

How about you?

Best,
Charles

S&W Model 45-1.

bdGreen

Registered Magnum.

Red post four screw pre 17. About five years now.

Would settle for a Super King K22 Outdoorsman.

I'd like to find a shooter grade I frame.

I just picked mine up today, it's a S & W model 686 Deluxe Talo edition with a 3in. barrel. Before that it was a model 29, wonder what it will be next.

early post war SV prefix M&P with a 6" barrel. lee

Model 27-2 (6''bbl), a model 19 2.5" bbl, or a model 396 night guard. Any one of those would make me jump for joy!

A mod.60-10 and a mod. 10 or 64, 3" barrel RB. About a three year quest.

"high condition" Model 15 no dash

Not really a quest, but certainly my top target.

To be truthful, I'm leaning more toward paring down than adding- but I always say that!

I'm fairly new on the forum. I'm not a collector but realized I might become one. What I want is a .44 spl. I think I would like it for carry and for some shooting. I don't know exactly which model that is in a Smith but I will figure it out. Right now I carry a model 60 no dash and I love this little gun. "But" the more I read the more I like the idea of the .44 spl.

Ok I figured it out. I want a 696

357 Magnum, 6 1/2" barrel.

I want another 5" M27. Sold the one I had a number of years ago.

Right now, at the top of my wish list is a DWM Luger in 30 luger cal.

my dads 19-3 that my brother sold

Nothing, really. I plan to try (rent) a new Ruger MK4 to see how it performs (heard the trigger action was not very good). But I already have a S&W model 41. Also have S&W 686, S&W 617, and Ruger Blackhawk .44 magnum. I'm 74, and don't want to start "collecting".

A .22/32 Club Gun. I know a guy that was given a collection of about 12 guns and in it is a zero numbered .22/32. I've been after it for about 10 years.

A brand new 19-3 with a RB and 2.5" barrel to replace the one I've near worn out.

Stu

Caliber and gun size wise I am more than set. But there are a few on my wish list

A decent big bore top break, center fire, single action. Thinking about joining the guys around here that do Cowboy Action

A Registered Magnum. Just because. I own more than enough 357s, but it is the Grand old Man.

An adjust sight K32. I have a 16-4 and its great, but something about the older ones wants makes me wanna have.

A model 15. Again I have several 38s and 2 4" K frame 357s. But no 4" 38.

Other than that the only reason I keep looking is I like to finding S&Ws. and a good deal on one is better than money in the bank to me.

Looking for a .44 Hand Ejector Target Model.

Colt New Service .45

That I could potentially afford in this particular era? A Pre-27 with a 3 1/2" barrel . . .

I am torn between a model 60, and a Charter Arms Pitbull in .45acp.

27-1. 5 Maybe 6 years of searching. There are a few others, but 27-1 is way at the top. Have a special place for it.

Currently it is a Victory .38 model. However a Pietta USV Artillery model has inserted itself.

Model of 1989 625 3"

#1 Colt Python - 4" in Nickel or Bright Stainless. Don't see this happening anytime in my life at those over inflated prices.

#2 H&K PSP - for no other reason then it just looks really cool! Unfortunately "cool" doesn't justified forking out a "cool" $2k+

I'll know it when I see it... (that is other than my grail gun--a Texas Ranger owned Wolf & Klar (3rd Mofel 44) which probably doesn't exist outside the Texas Ranger museum.)

I find that if I look for one specific gun that I'll miss other interesting guns. Most of the interesting guns I own, I wasn't looking for and in some cases thought I would never own.

Edit: Actually, almost any verified Texas Ranger owned/used gun would float my boat. I worked over a year on a deal for a Texas Ranger Colt New Service. Everything looked really good. Guy had an interesting history, etc. Everything was good until I was finally able to get the serial number and it turned out the gun wasn't manufactured until 2 years after the Ranger died. Caveat Emptor. Fortunately, I hadn't paid for it, yet.

Look for a model 24(blued), or 624(stainless) and you'll be happy. The 24 will cost more if you can find one, but the 624 in a 3" would make you a nice carry gun.

For me it is either a K-32 or Transition 3rd Model. 44 Spl. with a 5 inch barrel. I know they are out there but finding one a can afford is the hard part.

A nice pre M19, Combat Magnum preferably in its original box, but I will take one without. I did settle for a 1960 M19-0 4 screw, N.I.B though. Big Larry

High-condition prewar (1935-1940) .44HE 3rd Model in any barrel length with number-matching stocks. Box, docs, and letter would be a bonus!

Can't complain, though. 2016 yielded a Triplelock, a .44HE 2nd 5", a .44 HE 3rd transitional in matching maroon box, a 329NG, and the FrankenCrewman project was completed.

4.5" to 5.5" Registered Magnum wearing either Kearsarge or Ropers. Solid shooter condition. Blued. The dream would be for it to have the Frank Pachmayr hammer on it, but I doubt such a thing exists.

You mean like this?

A pre-Model 40 Centennial.

The model was announced in my birth year, but stories say only one shipped that year; a '53 - '57 would be great. I want a shooter to help round out my chiefs (yes, I know the Centennial is not considered a chief, but it's a .38 Spl on a J-frame, flat latch, from that era). Not looking for a safe queen, a bit of character would be fine, I don't care about a box or tools, but I would like to have the safety lock pin.

I would add pre-37, 38, 42, and a Model 49 flat latch to the chiefs group in the right condition and for the right price, but I'd continue the search for a pre-40.

Been on the hunt for a coupl'a years. I occasionally see 'em, but either I'm too cheap or the owners are too proud (i.e., safe queen prices for a character'd shooter).

Cheers,

Bob

K22 Outdoorsman. I've been looking for a couple of years. I can't afford the collector grade but would like something close to it. Several on GB but very high prices and they have been there for quite a while. The search goes on.

Highway patrol, 4", 5 screw, matching marron box.

Bill Bates- can't believe you don't already have that one, you have shown some pictures of a really nice batch of 44s.

I just want the guns back that I stupidly sold or traded in the past.

27-2 6 1/2 " blue .

I have narrowed my M19 searches to the -2 variants and a nice 6in Model 19 in 90-95% condition would be welcome.

I want a 3" model 19 to go with my 3" 66. Been looking for 4 years.
Everything is harder to find in Ca. - Heck, I've never even seen one for sale here!
