"off brand" grail guns

lihpster · Oct 20, 2021

Talking handguns and not long guns, which firearm, not made by the big three of Colt, Ruger and our beloved S&W, is tops on your list to acquire, and why? You know, the one you'd drive another 50 miles to see? And it doesn't have to be expensive either. As long as it's something you really want. For me it's the Automag. Yes, the other Dirty Harry gun. But it wasn't Inspector Callahan who got me lusting after the big boomer. It was Mack Bolan, The Executioner. I know they are expensive. I know they're not particularly good guns. I don't care. I want one. Someday, I'll get the nerve to sell a kidney and buy one.I love the way they look. And I love the idea of them. Even if it isn't particularly well done. So what are your unicorns?

Walther WA-2000 rifle in .300 Win. Mag.

The 007 rifle in "The Living Daylights".

Very few imported. If I ever hit the Powerball, I'd get one.

Just because.

That's easy: HK P7

or....

a Cabot 1911.

My grail gun was the Inglis Hi Power. I grew up not that far from the old Inglis plant in Toronto, and I always wanted one. Sure enough, one popped up at a gun show in Lafayette, Louisiana some years back, and I decided to indulge.

For a few years now I've had my ear to the ground for a Long Branch Enfield rifle. They're not super-expensive, but they do take some looking to find. Eventually, one will have a spot of honor in my safe next to the Inglis and my Ross Rifle.

(I guess to round things out, I'd also need an original Canadian made Para 1911. They were made about a mile from my childhood home.)

Marlin Model 50...semi-auto .22 mfg’d for a few years in the 1930s, fired from an open bolt.

ANY shotgun made by Holland & Holland. If/when I hit the lottery, I am going to fly to England, and order one (or more) in person. I will probably wear it out, cleaning it two or three times a day!!

EDIT: Sorry, in the OP, I missed the first sentence that excluded long guns. My mind went right to my grail gun.

By the way, this kind of thread attracts scammers like flies to honey. If you get a PM offering up what you are looking for, look closely. Ask questions. If you get a hinky feeling pass and report using the symbol at the top right. Stay safe, my friends. And some of these guns are on my list too. High Power. Check. P7. Check. Holand and Holland. Check and check.

I’ve always had a weird fascination with pistols that had holsters that could be attached as stocks. The broom handle and hi power are two I share with you. I’d simply switch the 1903 with a 1908 in .380!

An original MP5 and an original Colt gatling gun in 45/70......Would work perfect mounted on my front porch and dialed in for my 1/4 mi driveway.

Forgot to add.........1928 A1 Thompson with finned barrel and Cutts.

The .44 Automag was a notoriously poor feeding and cycling gun. I heard a story that Clint was so frustrated with it while trying to film Sudden Impact that he either threatened or actually did throw the gun in the ocean. Now, his 29? Awesome gun.

You're getting a card and that's all.

For me, it would probably be the Beretta 90-Two in .40 S&W. A now discontinued updated variant of the 92/96FS. Although I'd settle for a 96A1 as well, which is the successor to the 90-Two which is still in production.

What got me into it? Well, it was honestly the BioHazard/Resident Evil series of Video Games. A custom variant of the Beretta 92F known as the Samurai Edge was the standard issue sidearm of the Raccoon City Police Department's S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics And Rescue Service) Troopers, and was featured throughout the series. There are a couple of different manufacturers who produce reproductions of the S.T.A.R.S. grips, and even a few custom shops that will mill the slides of Beretta 92 Series Pistols to include the proper modifications/engravings of the Samurai Edge, but I'd be happy with the already unique-looking 90-Two with S.T.A.R.S. Grips.
