What pistols do you got to have??? this list would include your favorite handguns you have allready bought and/or have been given to you; and ones that you really want to buy. There isn't a real order, because I NEED them all!

HANDGUNS
1. dan wesson rz45 heritage 1911
2. sig p229 9mm
3. heckler&koch hk45
4. smith&wesson model 29 .44 r-mag
5. s&w j-frame .357/.38spc
6. semi-auto 10mm

a .22 rimfire and possibly:

any glock; 19, 20
another HK; HK45c?
a med/ full size .357 revolver; ruger or s&w
 
I'd sure like to get my hands on a reasonably priced Walther P5C that I could use for range work, and maybe even for daily concealed carry. I've got a safe queen now, but this is a gun that is begging to be shot ... often.
 
currently have:

S&W 642, Ruger Security Six, Ruger GP100, Uberti Colt SAA clone, S&W 629

will inherit eventually:

a different S&W 642, S&W 686

want to get:

too many options available; I choose not to impulse buy anymore...too much credit card debt, current available selection is too thin, and what is available is too expensive for compromised quality
 
Have to have?

S&W K-frame .38s, .357s and .22s. Doesn't matter which particular model much to me. I want a pencil-barrel Model 10, a Model 15, and maybe a couple of the 6" target guns like the 17 and 14 at some point. Going to start with the 4" service-sized guns first though; best balanced in my hands. Already have an M-18 (.22LR) and an M-19 (.357), both with 4" barrels.

And some kind of autoloader, like a decent blued 1911. But I don't expect to find one of those in my price range any time soon. :mad:
 
I'd like to have a couple more S&W model 13 round butt, 3" bbl wheelguns. I'd also like to have a model 581 and 586, both with 4" bbls. And, while I'm wishing, I'd take a S&W model 17 and 18, too.
 
Current Haves that were on Want list:
Wilson 1911
Customized High Power
10mm 1911 (DW CBOB)

Wants:
Walther P-88
Sig P210
Bigger and better Bear Gun -- 460 or 500S&W, maybe
Good BUG -- leaning towards Walther PPS or a 3" 1911
m/1914 Norwegian version of the 1911
Polish wz.35 Vis 9mm
Duty-suitable Caspian high cap 40S&W 1911 custom build (by Larry Vickers -- why dream small?)
 
Handguns

Currently own a Taurus model 608 large frame .357 Magnum revolver with a 4" barrel and a 22LR single action revolver by Heritage Arms. Most likely will look at an Auto next Maybe a Millenium 45 acp for Carry.

I think most every pistol owner should have:

22LR - revolver or semi, but should have at least 1 22.
4in 357 mag revolver. Pick your flavor but its too versatile to pass up
Full size government 1911
full size 9mm
J frame or small equivalent auto (pocket gun)
and if you have any funds left over, a nice target 38- with the full 10 in sight radius allowed in bullseye. if not, a nice bullseye set up 1911 or 22. In any event, one ubber accurate handgun.
 
1. Wilson Combat KZ45
2. Springfield Operator 1911 (Olive)
3. Sig 220 compact .45
4. Ruger SP101 .357
5. Walther PPK .380
6. Sig 226 Blackhawk Tac. 9mm

And, I LOVE my FNP-45!
