The gun that everyone wants?

[Iggy]

I keep thinkin' I've got about all that I want. I suspect there is another one lurking out there. I'm sure I'll know it when I see it.

I have (had) an addiction to buying guns. When one came along that pulled at my heart strings, I would buy it. There were times I bought a couple guns a month but virtually every year would see my collection grow by 6-8 guns. Some were rifles, some were shotguns and most were handguns.

Then last year, I ordered a new S&W 1911. It was such a great gun, I bought a second like it. Since the last purchase last fall, I have bought only one more gun and only did so because I felt it too good of a deal to pass up.

Now I think my addiction is cured. The S&W 1911 has been my perfect gun, better than Colt, better than LB or Clark. I am no longer excited about what hits the market, new or used.

They may not be the gun everyone wants but they are the guns I am totally happy with. Where I used to make all the gun stores, pawn shops and auction sites, now I spend that time shooting. Of course, shooting is getting more expensive than buying guns.

I have slowed down on my gun buying for many years now, especialy since I retired. I am proud of my old collection, and excludeing autos, I could probley outfit a platoon or two. Yet there are only a few that I have in mind that I might buy if I stumble across them. Otherwise I have everything I could possibly invent a reason to own. There are old classic colts, smiths and winchesters that I would buy if they were super cheap and I caught the owner napping, but they would also have to be in rare good condition. I am almost 70, not 20. That does put a different light on accumilateing stuff. For the most part, there isnt a modern new gun made that turns me on. Only the older classics.

 

[Old 44 Guy]

I'm with Ferrill, too old to remember all the one's I've sold & regretted. New ones don't turn me on.

 

[RonJ]

One that I want but will never have; a fine English SxS two barrel set 12/20 ga. Purdy will do just fine, thank you.

 

[Freischütz]

A M1911 in 7.65 Par

 

[truckemup97]

I want one of each.

 

[Badkarma 1]

A Mauser C-96, Astra m-600, and a Smith m20 Heavy Duty. Yeah I still got a list! Dale

 

[datsun40146]

Any or all of the following:
Smith and Wesson 3913 NL
Luger with a .22 conversion
Numbers matching original WWII Garand.

 

[Cyrano]

One of those Darne double rifles: only about $35,000 (yeah, they make a few rifles as well as some great shotguns).

 

[scooter123]

A 3 1/2 inch, tapered barrel, partial lug, model 627 with a checkered top strap and sight rib. Really should email that idea to Lew Horton, bet they could order a run of 500 and sell every single one in less than a week.

[RobertJ.]

A 4" blued Colt Python. Nice condition, but shooter grade. That's my new "grail gun".

 

[BE Mike]

Since you said want and not need. I recently bought the gun I don't need at all, but really wanted.Rossi USA

 

[Andy Griffith]

I have (had) an addiction to buying guns.

So, that bug isn't just in my part of the country?

Hurry, go put one on lay-a-way before you start to relapse!

 

[VAdoublegunner]

A pair of David McKay Brown side-by-sides. With the Cutaway Floral engraving...

And if I can't have 2, then one will do just fine, if it is in 20 bore.

 

[W.E.G.]

I usually just want the next one.

 

[29aholic]

Ditto

I want all the good guns back that I stupidly sold or traded off in my youth or when times were tough. Some I've replaced already...that sure makes you feel dumb...and some I will never be able to replace. It's too sad to think about right now.

Nuff said..........

Why don't you just call in an air strike. I love the smell of napalm in the morning, it smells like...fried squirrel.

 

[snake charmer]

There arn't many that I don't allready have, so I would really like a 3" Python.

 

[S&W-Keeper]

I don't know about everone else, but I want a 4' Korth in .357 mag.

The sound of the F16's might upset the chickens

 

[deanodog]

I have about all I want but of course if a screaming hot deal came along......

 

[BlackSky]

This one. Unfortunately, since I'm in CA, I can't have it.

 

[twomoons]

18 dais list is my list good choices friend

 

[Dueeast]

A no lock S&W mod 57, with a 5" bbl. And the sweet blueing of an old Colt Pyhton.

 

[Fishslayer]

Today....a 100th Anniversay Colt 1911

That would be mine.

Living in The People's Republik of Kalifornistan I'm gonna have to get creative since it is far too dangerous a weapon for us poor peasants...

Other makers are gonna send their Centennial Editions behind the tofu curtain but if it's not a gen-you-wyne Colt, I'm not that interested.

 

[snowman]

One that cleans itself . . . .

We have a winner! Without question the best possible gun to own.


Actually, I've been looking for a M34 for what I consider a reasonable price -guess my definition of 'reasonable' differs from that of other folks. . .

This one......
The very first production Single Action Army, serial number 1, thought lost for many years after its production, was found in a barn in Nashua, New Hampshire in the early 1900s
