What guns do you want to get in 2018?

American made 22 lr revolver. Kinda limits my choices but! Leanin towards something < 5" barrel but will not discount any length @ this time. SA or DA doesn't really matter. Just something to shoot rats with (already have a Mark II target for a squirrel pistola ).

You sound like a Model 18 candidate to me. :) Keep your eyes peeled and your fingers crossed. :D

The model 18 is a great 22 revolver.

It would be on my list, except I already have one. :)

One other gun I'd like to find is a M38 bodyguard to keep my M49 company.

The week after I bought my M49, a local California classified ad site had a ANIB M38 for sale.

I didn't buy it because I just bought the 49 and my bank account was empty.

That was two years ago. Little did I know I'd never see another M38 for sale.
 
just a couple

I'll be on the lookout for a couple
1) 29-4 3" unfluted cylinder to complete my 3 gun set mfg in 1989.
2) A nice model 58.

Of course there are always ones that pop up unexpectedly at a good price that you really don't need but talk yourself into buying.:D

The hunt continues.

1. 686 Plus with 3 (prefered) or 4 inch barrel.

2. 1911 - S&W, Ruger, or Kimber

3. Any really good deal on any S&W revolver that I can't walk away from
 
Was at the range shooting plates with a model 66 with a 4 in barrel. My friend dug out one with a 2 1/2 in barrel. Didn't know I needed one till I shot his. Now ones on the must have list.
 
A 5 inch 1911, plain GI model.

Pump action shotgun.

I'll buy one before the years over, these are the last of the "want" list to complete a pretty solid beginners collection.
 
1) Shield 2.0 9mm, but I'll wait till they offer DarkEarth frame (Black slide of course). Ideally they'll have it as a PerformanceCenter version then.....
2) A planned project: HiPoint 45 carbine and convert it to a bullpup using HTA new conversion system that is coming out... (I don't know why, just wanna)
3) To fund these I should sell my 6" SST 648 no dash that's been tucked away!
 
For 2018, I think I would like to acquire the following 2 pistols.

1. A nice model 29, -5 or earlier. I like the idea of forged parts instead of MIM for aesthetic reasons as well as the lack of the lock. Either 6, 6 1/2 or 8 3/8" barrel.

2. A 1911 style pistol. I just like the feel of a 1911 in hand; they seem to suit me well for a bottom feeder. It doesn't have to be a super expensive one, just one that is reliable and well built.
 
I don't expect to ever have a buying frenzy like last year. I bought 9 handguns (I think), 6 of them S&W revolvers. Might get 2 or 3 this year. High on my list is a 2nd 1911, maybe a commander or compact size. Looking at the Springfield Elite Compact, to go with my beloved Range Officer.
