A $1,000 to spend? It would be a new S&W M29 w/6 1/2" barrel in 44mag in nickel.

This morning on this thread I wrote I was done gun buying. This afternoon we went to another town just to get out and have lunch. I went to my favorite shop that is about the biggest in our area of southern utah. Had I $5,000s, I would have spent it! I seen a 1956 colt SAA in .38 special still looking new in the box with the PW. It was a nickle 5 1/2" with the black gutta percha grips. Also seen some other stuff. Cried all the way home. Asking price is $1,950s. I think I still had about $14s to get home on.
Nothing of immediate need or want comes to mind. It rarely does anyway. I usually end up spotting something at a show or shop that interests me and I buy it. Very rarely do I go in with a specific gun in mind to buy. Even if I do I walk out with something else.
This spring I was kind of looking for a pre-war A-5. One show I ended up buying another 1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer. Another, a Remington Model 81.
No rhyme or reason.
Now I'm past my want of an A5 again.
Another Mauser 98 Pre-War sporter would be nice though...

I had 2 pre 64 standards in 257, they were too heavy for the caliber. I sold them when I sold my collection of Model 70's. A 257 in a feather weight would be perfect.
I still have 3 pre 64's in 270, my Dad's, a Featherweight and a custom pre 64 in 270. All 3 have bagged many deer. I read JOC, so did my dad. JOC's were all Lightweight models.
One might make a down payment of $1K on a 7 mm in a pre 64, all I have ever seen are pretty pricey.

The 1950, Pre 27, S&W N Frame in 357 Mag 6.5" that is sitting in my fav LGS. It has a spot of blue missing on the BBL but does not appear to have been shot much. It is solid and would be a great shooter to give my 27-2 in 3.5" company. Darn, I just almost talked myself into this one. I guess I'll have to keep on using my 6" Python.....

You mean like this one. It was made in 1893 but someone put a new 25-20 barrel on it. It is fun to shoot.

A 646. Why? Because it's cool and you don't see one everyday.

A 845. Why? Because it's cool and you don't see one everyday.

I would advise you to stay away from the P250 unless you intend it to reside in your bedside table drawer as a secondary HD firearm. The DA trigger is too long and stiff for consistent follow up shots,muzzle flip is pronounced,sensitive to some ammo,upgrade parts non existent,mags rare and expensive.
Sig never fully supported this platform and that's why it's the red headed stepchild of the venerable Sig line.

I would go for a BCM/DD M4 complete upper on a Palmetto State lower.
Okay! It's Friday night, and I have all the guns I need. For a thousand bucks, I'd find a fine looking lady with marginal morality and set enough aside to have my raunchy butt cremated.
