So, What's On Your "Gotta have" Wish List?

Already have them.
Colt Anaconda 6” 45 Colt.
Ruger stainless Bisley 45 Colt.
I’d entertain a Pre 64 Model 70 in 257 Roberts too.
 
I finally achieved one of mine, after 40 years of wanting one:
HDCP LE Monogun.jpg
A Ljutic monogun; This one is a Handicap Limited Edition, #18 of 25. Next, a 9mm of some sort. Then maybe some other Trap guns, always wanted an Ithaca 4E, a Browning BT-99, and the Holy Grail of Trap guns, for me, the Ljutic Selka:

Yes, that's is the serial # 003. This one sold recently for $10,000. The Space Gun is neater looking, but having held one, it seems awkward to load.

I dont think that's the original model space gun. I remember seeing Al Ljutic's son shooting it on the line at "the Grand" in Dayton about 1981. It was an underside bolt action. It had a round button trigger iirc.
 
For revolvers, I'm at a bit of a standstill. I have several customs planned but haven't yet decided how to proceed.

No, it's not..You are right, the Space Gun is a very awkward to use underside bolt action. I've held one and worked the action, and I'd rather not do it on the line. Makes the Browning Recoilless seem easy to work. Al Ljutic took the two advances the Space Gun had and built two different guns with them. The Selka (ser. # 003 pictured above) had the high stock and rib, built on the Mono Gun action, and the Dyno-Kick modified the Mono Gun action to included the recoil reducing effect of the firing pin mechanism of the Space Gun. The Dyno-Kick took off, of the Selkas, there were less than 20 made. I actually am considering a Dyno-Kick also, they can be had in the $2500 range.
Some Selkas also have the round button trigger. Dyno-Kicks do not.

Yes, that's right.
I remember seeing younger Ljutic (maybe Al jr?) constantly fiddling with the under bolt.
I had one in my hands too at the Grand. I thought it was cool.
 
I'm pretty sure cold will never produce an anaconda that will ever be anywhere near as solid or reliable as a Ruger Super Redhawk if you actually want to do something with the gun.
Or for that matter that they'll ever produce a python that's worth buying that can touch a Dan Wesson 715
 
I would love a Dan Wesson .32 H&R converted to 327 Federal Mag. John Taffin has one pictured that he wrote about in an article and man that’s a truly awesome idea.

As for regular production, a Model 14 or 15 6” would compliment the Model 17 and Model 48 that I currently have.

I’d also like to swap out or cut the 7.5” Redhawk .41 down to 5.5”. I find it a bit unwieldy with that long tube.

Stay safe.
 
I covet the Colt Cobra 2" .38 Special. I mostly bought inexpensive (comparatively speaking) guns when I first started but I think that I am going to sell most of them. I will keep the two Berettas.
 
I've got a few revolvers I'd really like to add to my collection, in no special order:
  • Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter in .44 Magnum
  • Ruger Vaquero in .45 LC
  • S&W Model 625JM in .45 ACP
  • S&W Model 17 Masterpiece in .22 LR
  • Charter Arms Bulldog On Duty in .44 Special
 
I think a 4/5/8 or 5.5 BFR in .480 ruger and or a 4 5/8 45 blackhawk convertible... and a les Baer of some sort oh and a Marvel .22 bullseye set up.... and any number of others :p
