What guns do you want to get in 2018?

[Nedroe]

22LR Registered Magnum .....

Don't figure it's gonna happen, but, I keep holdin' on to a glimmer of hope.
Like the 3 inch, fixed sight, round butt 29 (Qty of 3 made) I may just make my own.

Good point.

I had forgotten about H&H double rifles.

I'd get 375 H&H myself.

I saw one for sale tonight at only $80,000.

Oh Well.

Had a Charles Lancaster .375 H&H double with oval bore rifling years ago. The day I received it my daughter was born. Went over the three day inspection period when I finally got to try it out a week later.
Right hand bore keyholed with anything I fed it. Dealer wouldn't take it back.
Wrote Westley Richards about rebarreling. Price was $2800 and a four year wait and price could be double when the work was completed.
Sold the gun to an Alaskan Bear guide for following up wounded bears. Said it was probably a plus that it key holed in light of its intended use. Only took a $500 loss.
Moral? Don't buy guns when you wife is overdue.

Still looking for a nice pre-war p35/Hp

Just picked this up, nostalgia for me as it was one that was issued to me way back in the day. Had to turn it in but now I've got it back. The fit and finish were great, solid walnut grips, everything you expect from S&W. Great little gun and the trigger is the same as it was in the 80s.

Just got the Sig Sauer p320 x5 and hope to get some caliber x-change kits for it. Would love to get a P08 from WWII with matching serial numbers all around.

 

[HOUSTON RICK]

S&W K-22
Rock Island 1911 in 9MM
Ruger Mini-14
M1A or M14

Add a 9MM Luger!

 

[Valmet]

One of the new Brownells BRN-10s...their take on the 1955-56 Dutch/Portuguese AR-10. Haven't had one in my hands yet but I'm looking forward to it.

 

[bluelund79]

Since my quest will be over when I order some grips from Grasshorn next month, I'm going to be on the look out for M48 and a K22/M17 toroundout the rimfires for my family to shoot at the range with me. The 625 or 25 in 45 Colt will be first though

 

[Tanners Owner]

For me, I'm tempted to get a M&P Core in 9mm

 

[snubbyfan]

For the last few years, I've been scraping pennies together trying to gather enough to get me my first plastic framed wonder 9.
Always seemed that when I had almost enough, something would happen. Sometimes something to do with the house, sometimes something medical and I'd have to dig into my gun fund.

Last year I got to handle a Ruger LC9s and I liked the trigger.
At around $300 I thought I may be able to swing it this year.

So what happens. My wife's a home health care aid and her client was recently rushed to the hospital. I do hope she's okay and, as my wife thinks, it was just dehydration.
We're not sure if my wife'll have work or not. If her client's not coming back they'll havta to place her elsewhere. Don't know how long that'll take.

So my gun buying's gonna be put on hold 'til we find out.

I hadn't planned on getting any guns this year...until I saw this: Cimarron Firearms revives 1847 Texas Ranger Walker .44 pistol

I sold off all of my Black Powder stuff years ago, but I still find it tempting. I also learned something new...that there is a cartridge called a .45 BPM which is used in a converted Walker. This is very interesting to me too: .45 Black Powder Magnum - Wikipedia

 

[scout789]

1. Model 69 2.75" Barrel
2. Model 25 Classic

Checked one off the list today! Model 69 with 2.75" barrel.

 

[75Vette]

I crossed mine off too but did better than I'd hoped. I was looking for a 29-4 Silhouette and found a dash 5! I'll post a few good pics when I get some good shots. Here's one.

 

[Ozark Marine]

Was looking for a 3913 LS.

Got one today on Gun Broker.

Not bargain priced, but way better than I've seen at gun shows with import markings on slides and frames for the same price.

 

[oger]

Just picked up something that I couldn't pass up, a real nice 25-5 Nickel 6in 45 Colt. Wasn't looking for one but I thought you people would understand.

 

[FifthWheel]

I think I'm done acquiring this year since I just added my third Browning Hi Power. Been a pretty good year though.
1981 nickel

 

[Gripgrabber]

I'm thinking a RUGER pc9 as a plinker.
Semper paratus

Hello all been awhile since I posted. But after seeing this post I ad to add my 2 cents....

Since I last posted I have moved quite a few guns in and out FNS9, XDS, SP2022, FNS40 etc. I recently swapped a SP2022 for a PPQ M1. Still have the M&P9 and P220 and P226.

Looking this year to add a PPS or Shield haven't decided yet, the M&P 2.0 intrigues me but need to find one to shoot to see if its enough of a upgrade over my current M&P to warrant a addition.

So long Story short

1) PPS or Shield
2) M&P2.0
3) PPQ22 oe M&P22

Cheers

Now i'm saving up for a M-14 Paratrooper rifle to buy sometime in 2018.

I have several in mind.

I can't tell you what they are because I don't know technically what they are. But I have seen them and held them and I like them.

One is a 125th Anniversary Commemorative Revolver.

Another one is a S&W that has two manufactures names stamped on it. I believe its a .45 colt and was special made for competition shooting.

Another S&W Highway Patrol that has Utah Highway Patrol #8 on the back side between the two stocks.

A 1911 Colt Commander.

An FN FAL manufactured by Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal.

And two S&W .44 mags. One is stainless with a 8 3/8 barrel and hopefully one with a 4" barrel.

And possibly a S&W 500 magnum with a 4" barrel.

And possibly something else but not sure what at this time.

This is a new disease that I was not prepared for.
