What guns do you want to get in 2018?

Only Smith I've bought this year is a 642-1.

Only 2 that I need that comes to mind. A pre lock 63, and a pre lock 4" 66 to complement my 2.5" and 3".

Wouldn't mind a model 68 if I score a 63. Then I'd have a 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, and 68.
 
What is a "standard-pencil" barrel?
Yesterday, I just bought a Model 10 with a 3" barrel,s/n D743xx, square butt, excellent shape. It's for sale if the price is right.
 
A M69 so my wife quits trying to take mine. A M25 or M625 in 45 Colt. But most of all, I'd like to get a set of Elk Antler magnas for a j frame rb, k frame sb, and k frame rb for my edc revolvers and a set for my Colt Combat Commander 1911. The price for all of those comes close to a new revolver, so they had to be listed. The M69 will come first since, well, I kinda like my wife.

Still waiting on shipment word for the elk grips for my 1911 from New Year's, however, I did get a start with elk grips from Big Mountain Man for my EDC 686+, my sometimes carry Airweight. My wife and I will be headed to KY Gun Co at thernd of the month to get her Model 69. Lobo has sent her holster, and I'll mail off the order to Herrett's for some Jordan Trooper's with Exhibition wood upgrade after our move to Montana in March. Looks like my New Year's choices will be wrapped up once I find a set of elk grips for my 15-1.
 
Marlin is listing their 1894 lever guns in 357/38 again!
I'm leaning towards one of the 16 & 1/2" 'Trapper' models, but I like the 'classic' straight grip stock 20" barrel version as well.

I've read that they will start shipping these in the next few months, so I have a little time to $ave up some cash!
 
Right now I'm intrigued by the new Sig P365.
Would want to wait until late 2018 though - need to see if any bugs need to be worked out after the intro period; and would also want to physically handle/shoot one first.
 
Well, I've knocked one of the two off my "Get in 2018" list. I just bought an ATI military style 1911 and it is waiting for me at my FFL for when I get back from the rig next week. I also ordered a 45 ACP die kit and 1k of 230 grain FMJ bullets from Roze Distribution to make up some ammo for it, so I should be busy when I get home.

I still have the model 29 list to get this year left, but I have most of the year left to find one too. :D

And another I might get if it came up and bit me on the butt would be a nickle model 27 with a 6 1/2" barrel. I think that would make it a Pre 27 since I think they started making them in 6" barrel around the time they started numbering them. Or was it when they transitioned to the -2 engineering change? I don't remember. I have a 6 1/2" blue 27-5, but I would rather have an earlier model in nickel as all my other model 27's are nickel.
 
2018 has been a lucky year already... so I don't know that I should ask or look for too many more. Unless another .45 were to appear at the right price. :D

An early commercial Colt 1911 say 1925-1932 would be nice.

Recent acquisitions include a 625-7 Performance Center .45 5.25" Barrel pre-lock...
And a 3-screw, bright blue, Mod-22 .45 acp
 
I managed to find a Marlin Golden-39A, new, un-fired, back on the 13th of January. This one was made before they started installing that ugly cross-bolt safety. :) This is actually my fourth 39A, but I foolishly let the first three get away through the years. This one will stick. :D
 
I am trying to save up for a Springfield 1903. Every time I get close something nice appears and I buy it. Things like an Arisaka, P38, Dreyse needle rife, etc.
