Hmm...
I've been terribly tempted by one of the Beretta 81s that are available. Just for the fun of it.
A P365XL...which will immediately have a RDS mounted on it.
Maybe a Beretta 686 shotgun.
But the Great Big Want item is a cased pair of Manton flintlock duellers. .50 caliber or less. (For those who don't follow antiques, this is about a $40K wish)
 
10 ammo cans, ammo to fill said cans, M1, 1911 preferably a Ruger, 3 SKS Russian, Chinese, Yugo, Marlin 60, new tires for my truck, and a cricket 22 for my kids.
 
More primers, powder, projectiles. And 22 rimfire. Ammo cans too.
A mold or two for casting bullets. (TBD on future purchases)
Thinking about a rifle but have no decision on that yet.
A pistol in 45acp, but have not decided on what make.
Most likely will purchase another large bore revolver, but haven't decided on that either. Leaning on something between my 44 & 460. BFR? We'll see.....
Found an Anaconda yesterday but was priced WAAAaaaaayyyyyyyyyy outta my league.
I'll buy it when I see it. (them)
 
Another .308 rifle for the mrs this time, a 41 mag smith and Wesson revolver and another of undecided make in 44 mag, , a 44 mag rifle to match ammo, a glock 17 lower with a 22lr conversion, and an 45 acp 1911, a ruger mini too. Oh and a truck load of ammo.

At the beginning of the year there was a thread asking what is on your list for 2019, I said that I was going to slow down and not get much of anything. So much for that lol, this year I have busier than the previous two years combined getting things. Every time I go in the local gun store they have a trade in that catches my eye, there are a couple saved sellers on gun broker that keep listing goodies.

But I'm have been thinking one of the new manufactured Inland M1 carbines is on the agenda. Every time I see a nice GI they get bid up way high just saw a very nice Underwood go for $1600.00 just minutes ago on GB , thinking a new Inland with no collector value to shoot thousands of rounds through it in time and not wear out a collectible real GI carbine.
 
1. Some accessories (flashlights/holsters)
2. New Reload press.
3. M1A or FAL... haven't decided.
I wonder why Springfield armory won't make a FAL, they use to, now they are "pre-ban" collectibles. Why can't FN U.S.A do a FAL, they make other rifles already. DSA is about the only game in town now, I have one and is good quality but there is no competition out there on a FAL thus if you don't pay for a DSA price you don't get a FAL. .
 
Bfr in 500 jrh
Lever action henry 357 mag
Ruger #1 in 45-70
FA model 83 in 454 casull
Cmmg banshee in 10mm
Ruger 3" sp101 in 357
Thats really my list right now sort of in order, subject to change at a moments notice.
Im sure there are a number of members on THR that look just like santa, but is the real santa a member too? By the way, i havent been too terrible this year... i deserve a big bag of guns this year santa.
 
Dear Santa,

I haven't been the best behaved boy this year, but at least I didn't do anything to get my name listed in NICS. So please, all I want for Xmas this year are:
  • A SIG Sauer P229 M11-A1
  • A CZ 97 BD
  • A Beretta 92x
  • About 100 acres of remote property to set up a private outdoor shooting range
I hope this isn't too much to ask. I promise to be on my extra best behavior next year.

What's on my short list?
Nothing, really... need to change that.


Maybe I will give one of those Henry single shots a try.
 
In no particular order:

-Ruger Wrangler
-Ruger Mk.IV 22/45 Lite
-Suppressor to go with the above
-Ruger GP100 .44 Special
-Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt/.45 Auto
-Ruger PC Carbine

See, I'm real easy to get gifts for! Just stop at the Ruger Store and put them in Santa's sleigh! Don't even have to bother with wrapping them!
 
I pretty much have everything I ever wanted firearms wise, been stocking up on reloading supplies and .22's to hedge my bets on the next election.
Of course the Son of a gun's always come up with something new every year to tempt me with. This year it's the Sig P365 XL and I'll probably pop for one when they come out with a thumb safety model. Then there's the 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun that I would really like even though I would likely use it maybe three time a year and then I'd have to buy dies, bullets and brass. Better to stick with my other 6 rifles and save the dineros. ;)
 
Oh yeah I forgot.

A BFR in one of the short cylinder offerings.
I found one slightly used a few years back at a local gun shop. It was their shorter barrel 475/480 chambering. I don't regret this purchase and it is much more comfortable to shoot than the Ruger SRH that I have. The thing is like a clock with perfect function.

As far as a wish list goes..... I would like to get a Ruger LCR in 38spl. Have the 22 version. It would be a carry gun for me and will fit in other holsters I already own. Would like to get a CZ in 22 WMR with really nice wood when I find one. I look at shops that carry CZ's from time to time, but I have no interest in ordering one or buying through an online seller.
