Revolver or Semi Auto,you don't own,only because of it's price tag?

[Jonesy814]

I am disabled and have limited income. A couple years ago figured I would never own a gun that cost much over $600. Since then I’ve purchased a new S&W 617 and a used 625 and both were over $700. Now I’m thinking that $800 wouldn’t be too much for the right gun. I’d like a nice 3.5 inch model 27 but unless I stumble across an exceptional deal I don’t see it in my future

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Basically any gun priced over $1600 goes out the window for me.. I'll spend more than that customizing or personalizing a gun, but I really won't spend more than that on the gun itself.

I believe in most cases, you can find a cheaper alternative that will do the same thing just as well.

So high end 1911's are out. Snake guns are out as of right now. Korth? Forget about it.

 

[Good Ol' Boy]

Since I've never paid more than $500 for any gun, there are obviously MANY.

 

[Pelo801]

Most of mine have already been mentioned, the end 1911s, a Korth would be nice, Sig 210, Walther P88 champion

 

[warnerwh]

I've always wanted a .357 Korth. Actually there's lots of guns I'd buy if I had the money.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Broomhandle. I mean, Jeez, have you seen what people are asking for a relined, refinished, pockmarked beater with electrical tape holding the grips together?! Madness, madness, I say!

 

[Demi-human]

None.
It's only money.

There are some I wouldn't want to own, but not because of a numerical value.
It is not indulgent to find what it is one wants, and then find a way to attain it. It is living.

(I'm two sevenths of the way to owning an Ed Brown Exhibition, twelve years to go!)

 

[Mike OTDP]

Let's see...

A Korth. Both the revolver and the self-loading pistol.

And the crown jewel...a cased pair of flintlock duelling pistols. Originals. From a name maker.

 

[JohnKSa]

If money were no object, I'd own revolvers from Korth and Manurhin.

Semi-autos? I'd have to have a Desert Eagle, a Beretta Billenium (I know where I can find one NIB for about $5K) and at least one SIG P210.

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

Hi Power and GP100

Have always wanted the Browning but the price has always been more than I was willing to pay over the years

Never got a GP100 when they were reasonable----now they are just getting too expensive

 

[SteadyD]

A pre lock 627 Performance Center revolver. Could have had one for $1000 last year but it sold before I got ahold of the guy. They go for $2000 to $3000 on gunbroker.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Savage 1907 .45 US trials pistol.

 

[cfullgraf]

An S&W K-32, preferably in the Model 16 no dash to -3 range.

 

[Dr.Rob]

I came close to buying an AutoMag once. Price is just too high now.

 

[Riomouse911]

I've been pining for a Coonan .357 for months. Just can't seem to scrape the 1,800 up for gun, DROS, extra mags, tax etc.

Plus I keep finding great used guns that keep calling my name!

 

[Armored farmer]

6 inch 617 S&W
Ruger vaquero. 357/9mm

 

[Twiki357]

For me it’s the S&W Victory 22 with the threaded barrel. It’s not the cost of the gun, it’s the cost of that little accessory that goes on the threaded barrel.

 

[Arkansas Paul]

There are a few actually.

Freedom Arms revolvers
Ed Brown Executive
Colt Python

If I took a few minutes I'd likely come up with a few more.

 

[ArchAngelCD]

In my case it's a Freedom Arms Model 97 in 454 Casull with an additional 45 Colt cylinder. Over $3,200 is a big nut to crack...

 

[CraigC]

I'll probably never order a new Freedom Arms. I just have an issue paying that much for something that A) isn't exactly what I want (custom vs production) and B) is comprised entirely of stainless steel. Instead, I bought a used Field Grade with both .454 and .45Colt cylinders, had it fitted with some of the finest grips money can buy and still spent a lot less than buying a new one.

I'm torn on 1911's. I understand and appreciate what goes into a high grade or custom 1911 but have yet to see one that tempts me. Although I do want to have one built as a dedicated hunting pistol, a 6" model with adjustable sights in either 10mm, .45Super or .460Rowland.

[Rock185]

I've never set a self imposed limit on what I'll spend. I have sprung for a few SIG P210s, Freedom Arms, Wilsons, Baers, etc. That being said, the original, not Nighthawk, Korth revolvers look interesting to me. But, I doubt I'd spend the price of admission for one nowadays.

 

[critrxdoc]

HKs and Kimber are two brands that I would like but have never been able to convince myself to spend the money.
