In a move far more significant to me than to anyone else, I have replaced my traditional "Want List" with a new list called my "2016 Possibilities List." 
Probably sounds like BS or semantics, but its a recognition on my part that my 3rd Gen collection, and my firearms collection overall, have matured to the point where there is nothing more that I've absolutely got to have or else. 
It's also a recognition that 2016 can't be a repeat of 2014 or 2015 despite the latest loud noises from the gun grabbers... although the latter will probably slow down my plan to sell off certain guns that I felt I no longer needed.
In the end, the last remaining 3rd Gens left on my old Want List really weren't/aren't very high priority.
I think I've got all the bases covered except for 10mm... but 10mm is not "reality" for a poor, old, retired collector dude living in crazy-restricted Massachusetts. Likewise, I'm resigned to the fact that costly Performance Center models are never going to live in this poor man's collection. 
I'm done buying duplicates, parts guns and upgrades. I just can't afford the luxury of that sort of thing any longer.
In the end, my 2016 Possibilities List came out very, VERY short... which I suppose is a good thing since I am pretty much dirt broke and hungover (financially) from last year's purchases. My main goal will be to find a Model 457S in tip-top "as-new" shape with a Model 4513TSW as a more likely possibility and back-up. A pristine perfect CS45 is also on the list... mainly as a replacement for my "used & abused" CS40, which I've long wanted to dump. And that is it!!! Well, at least for 3rd Gens. 
All this got me wondering... Is your 2016 list as short as mine?
Or do you have bigger 3rd Gen plans in mind?
