Do you still have a certain "caliber" that you would like to bring to the collection?

[foggood11]

My case is "ammo in search of a gun".

6 or 7 years ago, I was at a Cabela's and musta spaced out a bit, because I picked up and bought a box of WWB 38 Super, instead of 38 Special. Didn't realize it until a few months later when I finally looked closely. It was a dumb move, and I felt pretty dumb once I realized what I had done. Oh well....

Been looking for a 38 Super ever since. Have seen lots of possibilities, but for whatever reason haven't "bit the bullet", so to speak. It'll happen, sooner or later.

A couple:

1. .38 Super - I've always wanted a .38 Super M1911, but have never gotten around to getting one. I'm leaning toward a nickeled Rock Island, but put it off to get a 3.5" Citadel M1911 to replace the Norinco 5" M1911 carry gun that I had to sell to pay the rent three years ago.
2. 6.5 Grendel - I love 6.5mm rifles (I have a Swedish Model 96 Mauser). I'd like to get a 6.5mm Grendel upper for my AR, but I have no place worthwhile to shoot a good rifle, so I'm in no big hurry.

Wow, I was thinking those exact two calibers for the same "reasons".

Considering my 2 hands and a foot collection I don't yet own a 9x19. I will say, most of my guns I inherited from my father and he had a penchant of accumulating different calibers for the sake of having them and he leaned towards less common stuff which is why there's a .380ACP and 9x18 Makarov and even a Kel-Tec 32ACP in the collection but no 9x19 lol I need to add one and every time I find the right one, a clean good condition M39 (don't need LNIB because I will shoot it) is right after I spent my mad money on something else lol Long term I plan on adding a Series 70 Colt 1911 in .38 Super and an M24 in .44 Spl. Those are the 3 for me down to the specific make and model. I guess I can add in an M329 as well since those can still be found new, but even that will only happen when I get serious about handloading because I will not be shooting full power .44Mag out of that lol

 

[BCDWYO]

Why is that if you don't mind me asking?!

Don't mind at all...Nothing specific wrong with either caliber, just that neither really grabbed me. I found the 327 Fed awfully snappy in the J-frame that I owned - certainly more so than 38 Sp+P IMO. The only gun I ever owned in 454 Casull was a Taurus Raging Bull, and I just didn't love the gun so I sold it and abandoned the caliber. To my knowledge S&W never sold a gun chambered in 454 Casull, so since my revolver interest has primarily been S&W I just lost interest in that caliber. I do have a Freedom Arms model 97 in 45 Colt, and would certainly take a model 83 in 454 if one fell in my lap!! But don't love (or need) it enough for a $2K+ investment!

 

[Jessie]

Yes. .41 mag and .50bmg

 

[rwsmith]

I have GOT to have.....

I've got to get a .22 into the mix sometimes.

Ruger 10/22

Of course an AR-15 would be nice but I'd really like have a .243

Lever action anything.

A big bore gun. Maybe a .44 and shoot a lot of specials but crank 'er up now and then.

 

[Muddyboot]

I see a Colt pre war 1911 in .38 Super,and an AR in 300 Blackout in my future...

 

[Bugkiller99]

41 mag. Intruiging caliber. Would have to reload that one, too hard to come by.

 

[30-30remchester]

A nice Rigby built express rifle in 404 Jefferies.

A Holland and Holland in 475 Nitro.

Winchester model 61 in 22 magnum.

A Granite Arms Mauser in 35 Whelen.

Original Sharps 44-90 Remington.

 

[Arik]

There is the CZ 52 but is a tad longer than a CZ 82/83 but you need the length for the velocity! Plus two hands to pull the trigger!

Yore thinking of the Polish P64. The CZ vz52 is single action

My son and I built 6.5 Grendels last fall, super nice.

I have 22's, 357, 44 mag and a few 1911's.

I twice had 3 screw Ruger 41 mags in 4 3/4". I was not thinking when I traded off the 1st one, the original owner of the 2nd begged for it back and I let it go.

That's what I want 41 Mag old Ruger , it is about the sweetest packing powerful SA I've carried.

 

[RobertJ.]

The one I want to add .454 casul, there are bigger maybe better big bore revolver rounds out there, but the .454 is a classic, and is the reason I chose .45 LC over .44mag.

I've spouted off for years that for the handloader, there isn't a more versatile cartridge than the .44 Magnum.

I always forget about the .454 Casull!

I don't feel the need to add anything else, but if I did, it would be something in .454, probably a Rossi Model 92 or a Ruger SRH.

 

[Model 19 6"]

I would really like to have a 284 winchester. Time may be running out.

As a city dweller in this leftist state, I have no need for a hunting rifle, but keep trying to convince myself that I need a lever action rifle... I really want to get a Marlin 336 in 30/30. I just think it is a beautiful rifle... Eventually I'll get one, although I should get an AR-15 platform first....

For handguns, I only have 9 mm and .40. I like both, but am clearly lacking the simplicity of a revolver. That will be next on my list, probably a .357 so I can shoot a variety (.357 and .38 spl) through it. (But am also contemplating a .44 mag).

Also feel I should have a 22 handgun at some point, as they are just so much fun to shoot, and affordable.


Edit- sorry didn't mean to reply to the above, was trying to reply to the general post.

He only specified "size"not action
I wish there was a cz82/83 sized pistol in 7.62x25 tokarev.

For the 454 Casull folks the SW 460 will shoot it.

 

[MCorps0311]

I'm going to buy six more pistols,one i don't have is a M-41 22 auto.,i'm going to make that add but not necessarily next.

 

[MCorps0311]

I think my next add will be a Patriot.327 Magnum revolver,I would like it to be a 4" barrel.

 

[petepeterson]

The two I don't have but would like to:

1. 30-30 Win
2. .44 Mag

Maybe a .38 Super if you pushed me to pick 3.

The closest would be the PSM in 5.45x18

The first gun I ever wanted was a 1911, and I still don't have one, or anything in .45, so there's one. But even more, I'd like to come across a CZ 82, so 9x18 is another caliber to add.
