Which gun is at the top of your "wish" list?

Caliber and gun size wise I am more than set. But there are a few on my wish list

A decent big bore top break, center fire, single action. Thinking about joining the guys around here that do Cowboy Action

A Registered Magnum. Just because. I own more than enough 357s, but it is the Grand old Man.

An adjust sight K32. I have a 16-4 and its great, but something about the older ones wants makes me wanna have.

A model 15. Again I have several 38s and 2 4" K frame 357s. But no 4" 38.

Other than that the only reason I keep looking is I like to finding S&Ws. and a good deal on one is better than money in the bank to me.
 
I am torn between a model 60, and a Charter Arms Pitbull in .45acp.
 
27-1. 5 Maybe 6 years of searching. There are a few others, but 27-1 is way at the top. Have a special place for it.
 
#1 Colt Python - 4" in Nickel or Bright Stainless. Don't see this happening anytime in my life at those over inflated prices. :(

#2 H&K PSP - for no other reason then it just looks really cool! Unfortunately "cool" doesn't justified forking out a "cool" $2k+ ;)
 
I'll know it when I see it... (that is other than my grail gun--a Texas Ranger owned Wolf & Klar (3rd Mofel 44) which probably doesn't exist outside the Texas Ranger museum.)

I find that if I look for one specific gun that I'll miss other interesting guns. Most of the interesting guns I own, I wasn't looking for and in some cases thought I would never own.

Edit: Actually, almost any verified Texas Ranger owned/used gun would float my boat. I worked over a year on a deal for a Texas Ranger Colt New Service. Everything looked really good. Guy had an interesting history, etc. Everything was good until I was finally able to get the serial number and it turned out the gun wasn't manufactured until 2 years after the Ranger died. Caveat Emptor. Fortunately, I hadn't paid for it, yet.

I'm fairly new on the forum. I'm not a collector but realized I might become one. What I want is a .44 spl. I think I would like it for carry and for some shooting. I don't know exactly which model that is in a Smith but I will figure it out. Right now I carry a model 60 no dash and I love this little gun. "But" the more I read the more I like the idea of the .44 spl.

Look for a model 24(blued), or 624(stainless) and you'll be happy. The 24 will cost more if you can find one, but the 624 in a 3" would make you a nice carry gun.
 
For me it is either a K-32 or Transition 3rd Model. 44 Spl. with a 5 inch barrel. I know they are out there but finding one a can afford is the hard part.
 
A nice pre M19, Combat Magnum preferably in its original box, but I will take one without. I did settle for a 1960 M19-0 4 screw, N.I.B though. Big Larry
 
High-condition prewar (1935-1940) .44HE 3rd Model in any barrel length with number-matching stocks. Box, docs, and letter would be a bonus!

Can't complain, though. 2016 yielded a Triplelock, a .44HE 2nd 5", a .44 HE 3rd transitional in matching maroon box, a 329NG, and the FrankenCrewman project was completed.
 
4.5" to 5.5" Registered Magnum wearing either Kearsarge or Ropers. Solid shooter condition. Blued. The dream would be for it to have the Frank Pachmayr hammer on it, but I doubt such a thing exists.
