What are the 'desired' models of semi's?

[Rawhyde]

I have to chime in and say you should seriously consider adding a Model 52 to your collection.

I have several other centerfire semi automatic pistols. Beretta 92, 2 Glocks, a FiveSeven, and a Springfield Armory Range Officer. I had a Colt Gold Cup Series 80 that was really bad, but got rid of it. Any of them are OK for defensive use, but none of them are very much fun to shoot. The Model 52 blows them all away in regards to fit & finish and accuracy. If you've never shot one, try it!

Went by a local shop today that I had not been to in a while. I had been watching his website and knew he had a really nice SW 1911 in stock. I took an older LC Smith as a possible trade, since this a predominantly 'high-end' shotgun store. My LC Smith is definitely a shooter and a little below his grade of guns. He convinced me to keep the shotgun as it is a nice little 20 gauge.

I ended up coming home with the gun that I had wanted to trade for anyway Funny how that happens. I had an extra set of Sarge grips and knew they would dress up my new Smith.

.45 cqb...?

With out a doubt a 52 is a requirement.

The model 39 is also a requirement.

Then you should get a 645, 745, 845, and 945.

Then a PC 1911 (dk 38 super?)

The closest to the revolvers is the old 35 auto, this is one I do not have or know too much about. Then there is the old single shots.

Much fun can be had with the bottom feeders, welcome to the dark side.

OH ****,....I forgot all about the 10mm! Also a requirement! You better get busy.

Any caliber in SW99, 645, 5906, 659, 4506, 4003TSW, 4006, 4566, 1066.

Yeah, Model 52

Love the model 52. I have a 52-1 and 52-2 and I can't say one is better than the other. Both superb triggers, both lights out accurate.

The caveat is dedicated ammo is expensive so unless you want to handload they may be safe queens. I load for them and shoot them alot but couldn't do so with factory ammo.

My two preferences are 39-2 and 4566, the one's I'll never get part with.

I would want to ad a model 52 as well as an 845 to what you have. Then there would have to be a 559.

Not to mention most of the Performance Center offerings.

Then you can look for the guns that never made it to production. Like the Titanium SIGMA

After you have some more of those, you can look for embellished guns to satisfy your bling tooth. A little gold wire line inlay and some engraving never hurt.

I think that I am a pretty quick learner. I saw a very nice 39-2 this afternoon. I quickly thought about all the models that have been recommended here and that one keeps coming up repeatedly. So, let's check that one off the 'bucket list.' This one is mint as far as I can tell. She came with 2 mags, but she did not have a box. Took her apart and lubed her good and wiped her down. Guess I have to decide whether to shoot her or not now

I'll add the 5946 DAO, 4516-2, and 645. And if you really want rare try finding a model 44. And the 1046, I believe it's pretty rare too. Dale
