Bucket, wish, want, gotta have it list?

[H Richard]

a .32 Regulation Police "Target" 4", (that I can afford).

 

[mod57]

My list is not extensive, or anywhere near exotic, but here it is:
S&W Model 29. Any dash number so long as it's pre lock, ful lug or standard. I only need one to get the model 29 band wagon started.
Next up is a S&W 586 any dash, pre lock, 6 inch barrel.
Model 25 .45 acp. Oh and the money to pay for them. Simple really!

 

[HOUSTON RICK]

The want list is probably about endless. The need list (for no rational reason is:

Smith Model 17 Masterpiece
Ruger Mini-14 (5.56)
Springfield M1A (.308)

 

[Dieseltech56]

Still on the lookout for a 629-4 backpacker. Also really want a 657-3 of some sort, longer the barrel the better. I would really like a 13-4 three inch too. Other than that I just buy them as I see fit

 

[llowry61]

2.5" 686/586
3"686
29 Classic DX

Shooter grade

 

[Coastie762]

Current grail gun? Full lug model 14.

On the radar? .38 special chambered model 640 and 649.

Of course, there are certainly others out there that I don't know I want (yet)...

 

[Erocksmash]

Model 29 5"/6" silhouette
Model 29 classic 5"
Model 19 4 screw 4"
Model 19 combat magnum 4"

Have been blessed with regard to finding those elusive ones.

As Bob L. said so well tastes change over time. After many years of serious chasing antique LE badges I came back to guns and the brand I used the most in my career.

Started out with RMs , got to 5 and then heard Skeeter reminding me about .44 Specials . 1950 military 4 inch pre 24 4 inch and other great ones. Taste shift again to just plain old hard to find Smith's. Model 45 ,model 10-10 Brazilian , .32 M&P ,16-4 , 632 Pro series, ect. Each time that taste changed treasures would be released to fund new interest.

Remember though we are all mortal and our time is short. As temporary caretakers we are bound to care for these treasures and we hope future generations will do the same.

Ps still looking for a 19 3inch with fixed sights . ��

Thanks to those great folks here on this forum who have shared their vast knowledge and at times let me care for and feed some of their prized revolvers.

 

[mbliss57]

MY interest also keep changing and shifting and expanding etc etc.
Right now my grail guns would be:
Pre 27 3.5" Barrel
pre 19 2.5" barrels
Hungarian FEG Frommer STOP in .32ACP / 7.65mm
Sig P220 pre 1985 in 38 super and 30 Luger (7.65 para)

 

[BAM-BAM]

I have 3" 66s and 65 but......... would love to have a 3" 19.....But IIRC only about 500 were built in the 70s............

Guess some fixed sighted 19s were made for export to France and South America......................

Another; that was never built..... a 3" 65NL... or better yet a 13NL..... like the 3913NLs.

 

[Patrick L]

Mine isn't that specific, just general.

1. Something shiny (nickel)
2. Something 8 3/8ths

I have neither. 1 gun could scratch both itches, or perhaps not.

 

[Gene L]

Nope. My lusting days are over. The last and only Smith I wanted was a Model 28, which I found earlier this year...with the box. I should see off about my former grail guns.

 

[hoosierone]

Got mine: Nickel Colt .45 SAA, 3rd Gen. (1999) unfired, no turn line.

No, I don't plan on shooting it

 

[deanodog]

S&W model 69

 

[Kurusu]

Broomhandle Mauser.

Maybe a Sig P210.

I've got pretty much everything else I want.

I think I got those covered.

 

[Kurusu]

Got mine: Nickel Colt .45 SAA, 3rd Gen. (1999) unfired, no turn line.

No, I don't plan on shooting it

Mine is not nickel(don't fancy shiny much, makes my eyes hurt).

3rd generation first year production(1978). It has been shot(not much I admit that). Does not have a turn line either. The Colt SAA is not a Smith & Wesson, it only makes a turn line if you don't know what you are doing.

 

[kraynky]

I would like to replace the 2" model 64 I foolishly traded off. And;
3.5" model 27
4" model 24
Sig 220 10mm

My wants are pretty simple, I'll even list a replacement model 10, like the one I gave to Sis. (just in case Santa reads the forum, which I'm sure he does)

 

[jtcarm]

Manurhin MR73
Ruger Deerstalker 44 Mag carbine
S&W Mod 69
S&W Mod 329

just got my first single action so I'm sure some more of those will be added to the wishlist

I'm right there with you on the first two.

You can have the 329[emoji57]

 

[Blueduck]

I've had enough "grail" guns over the years and gotten over them, it's just not the same. Still if I could pick three just to have and enjoy..

Manurhin M73 5" (Think the GIGN connection is neat)

Smith 625 3" 45 acp (Fun plus character in a book series I liked used one)

Smith Registered 357 magnum 3 1/2" (just love that look!)
