What is the one gun you have been looking for and have not bought yet?

[Richard Simmons]

Ruger convertible Blackhawk, 4 & 5/8”bbl in 45 Colt / 45 ACP.
Pre-64 Winchester model 70 in 30.06
Remington 541-S

 

[bushmaster1313]

Early Ithaca 37 in 20 gauge

 

[Charlie Foxtrott]

A five inch S&W model 27.

Preferably Nickel plated.

 

[mauser9]

Uberti or Miroku 1873 Winchester short rifle. My favorite

 

[Jon651]

For me this is an easy question - a 945 (full-sized)

 

[ContinentalOp]

I have many guns on that list, but the gun at the top, as I've mentioned many times before, is my grail gun, a S&W 640 no-dash. I've come close a few times while chasing one on gun auctions, but always ended up being outbid. Nowadays, even if I came across one at an outstanding price, I wouldn't be able to get one.

Still on my list, though.

Ever since late '59, when I would ride my bike to a nearby Kresge Five and Dime store, and buy another Mauser or Enfield, I kept wanting a 303 MKIII Jungle Carbine. Found a mint '46 at a LGS and bought it. And wanted a KAR 98, and sure enough, a few years ago at a LGS bought a '44 "bring Back" with serial numbered Bayonet with frog and original leather sling. Then again about 6 years ago, finally a 44 Inland Carbine. Then a 1903A3, to go along with my father-in-law's mint Garand.

But the firearm I have wanted for decades and decades, yet don't have yet is a 44 mag Ruger Deerslayer carbine. I know of a very early one but just can't justify its cost. Maybe someday. NV

The one that could be in reach and that I’d love to have would be a 4” 24.

 

[Rodan]

Got several on my list, but the stars haven't aligned...

M28 4" - want an early N or S serial numbered gun, but prices have gone nuts in the last year. Haven't found the right gun at a price I'm willing to pay yet.

M18 - same problem. Nice one popped up here a few days ago... gone in 5 minutes!

M17 - haven't found the right gun at the right price yet. These haven't appreciated quite like the M18s, so odds are a little better.

 

[max503]

A Taurus PT22 to play with.

 

[scoobysnacker]

As a longtime fan of all-metal DA/SA's, I've been wanting an HK P7 and a Walther P88. As a longtime cheapskate who's been able to find a lot of things at/under the $300 price point over the years, I've yet to come anywhere close.

 

[Gunhacker]

I'm pretty much done with S&W's having accumulated everything (and then some) that's been on my want list.

The same goes for my Ruger SA list, what remains now is my Marlin want; a 1894CB in .32 H&R Magnum.

 

[WCCPHD]

J.P. Sauer drilling. 20 gauge over 243.

 

[mikerjf]

Early 4553 with the 6-round mag.

 

[double-dipper]

Dear Santa,
I've been a very good boy this year! I would like; a 629 from 1980 no dash P&R and a 686 from 1980 ser # AAA.
thanks

 

[waffles]

A ******ned Luger, ideally WW1 vintage.

 

[Moo Moo]

For my Smith collection;

- S&W Model 15 with 2" barrel.
- S&W Model 586/686 with 2.5" barrel

Non Smith;

- HK P7M8

 

[gerhard1]

For me, it would be a Colt Metropolitan Mk3. This was the last Colt DA revolver authorized for patrol carrying by the NYPD.

 

[H Richard]

A 32 Regulation Police Target, 4". The only couple I could have bought were too pricey. Now that I have sold off all early 32's, I just quit looking. I have gradually been reducing my collection to the ones I will shoot.

 

[Krogen]

A model 52. Actually two of them. An S&W and a Winchester.
