As for guns, of the SD type, I'd like to get a Scandium revolver -- either an M&P 340, or 340PD, or perhaps a 360PD.

For accessories, I'd like a get scopes for a couple of my rifles.

Maybe also a 22 Mag bolt or lever action long gun.

S&W 627 with 4" barrel and some stuff to build a little cleaning kit for it from Pro Shot along with a pile of ammo for it. Possibly a S&W 617 as well, but we'll see.
 
I think more molds to try my hand at casting my own bullets, and perhaps a 9mm 1911, because I don't have one. Probably a .357 Sig barrel for my FNX 40. Oh yeah, and a shockwave style "firearm", while I still can.

I think I'll be buying ammo & components more this year than last. I really don't know of anything else, other than maybe some more steel targets, for all that ammo.
 
Not much in the way of revolvers.

I think it's likely I'll get a trigger job for my 642-1. No matter how much I've dry/live fired the gun, it's still got this little hitch towards the end of the trigger pull. It's not every trigger pull, but it happens enough that I'd like to get it taken care of. Nothing that's affected reliability so far, but I'd like to have a nice, smooth, straight-through pull. Gonna keep the factory springs, though.

I may get another 642-1.

There may be a good chance, sometime this year, for me to get my grail gun, a no-dash 640. *fingers crossed*

However, my biggest priority is getting a second Beretta PX4 Compact.

I may get some goodies for my Beretta 92FS, this year, too, finances willing. Not much, though. Right now I'm thinking about getting the G-conversion kit...again (I actually bought one last year, but decided not to use it and sold it) and some thinner grips, probably VZ...either their ultrathin grips or possibly the LTT grips. I'm thinking Black Cherry.

I think I may also look into finally getting a pocket .380 this year. A Ruger LCP is the obvious choice, but I'm going to check out other options. Lately I've been looking at the Beretta Pico (me and Berettas...*sigh*).

If Sig ever gets the bugs worked out, a Sig P365. I would also like a Advantage Arms .22 conversion kit for a Glock 26 and a frame to make a dedicated .22 pistol. I plan to shoot a good bit more.
 
For the first time ever, I really don't have a firearm want or need foreseeable this year, although 'bargains of opportunity' might strike. If I ran across a pre-lock Model 25 4" at a rational price, my obligation would be to act, as would a sudden appearance of a L-frame 41 special, but otherwise, I have every stinking forearm, reloading supply, and accessory I want or need.

First time in this lifetime.

Going to adjust my current inventory. Too many shotguns, need to thin that portion down and reassess my Smiths. Maybe one or two that will go down the road.
The only Smith on my radar is 625-6 mountain gun.
But 365 is a lot of days to change my plans!
 
There is nothing on my "need to have" list for 2019. Today.

I'm done, got enough. Ok, maybe just one more!
I, too, have a currently empty Want List for 2019, which is a good thing because money will be exceptionally tight in the coming year. But I can't complain. 2018 was my best year collecting-wise since 2015 and I'm in very good shape. :) Truth is that I'll be selling more this year than I'll probably buy. :cool:

Only thing I want/need badly right now is a new firearms screwdriver set... and not just a bunch of bits and a handle. I want a real genuine gunsmith-grade screwdriver set. :D Thought I might get one from Santa for Christmas, but all I got was a lousy lump of coal. :p

But yes, despite the empty Want List, I'm sure the interesting opportunities will come along. :) In fact, there are a couple interesting ones brewing out there as we speak! :D

Ammo, ammo and some more ammo.

I would really like to buy a new gun but right now I don't see anything I want. In fact my main firearm related goal right now is to sell every gun I have not shot in the past year or two.

But I am hoping to be surprised by some new gun I simply must have this year. I will know it when I see it.
 
First world problem, I'd love to get another gun but having purchased three semiautos that didn't excite me, a Beretta Brigadier, big CZ and a Springfield XD(M) in 10mm that didn't excite me. Sold all three at a loss of course. So "gun shy" so to speak.

I have the revolvers and four Ruger semis so not lacking there.

There are such exceptional values out there for a nice 6.5mm Creedmoor bolt gun that I keep getting tempted. But...I'm not a hunter and only bench rest for sighting in so that would be a safe queen. Sigh. Don
 
Well 2019 was scheduled to find a good set of wood carving chisels to do stock inletting. But they arrived New Years Eve.
Now my next purchase is a two year project gun I've been building and was just told is nearing completion of the color case and rust bluing. An Off Topic Remington Rolling Block Creedmoor rifle.
And then there's the annual trip in May to Denver for the CGCA show where I always hope to find a gun or three to add to the collection.
 
As for guns I am considering a new AR. I am currently looking at a Springfield Armory Saint. If I can get it on the Individual Officer's Purchase program so much the better. If not maybe a Ruger. Both would be in my price range. Even the Saint would be if I had to go full price. Just a plan and subject to changing conditions.
 
Ammo, and maybe some nice S&W target stocks for my 28-2.

Already picked out a .357 Magnum with a 3 1/2" barrel and a M58 .41 Mag with a 6" barrel.

Right now I'm done getting any more guns.
