What's your dream pistol?

[BluesBear]

Hey Aaron, haven't seen you on for a few days.

Happy Birthday!

(tell your Mom about the PM thingy)

 

[N3rday]

Yeah, it was my birthday! I can see rated R movies now!
I completely forgot about my own birthday until that morning, and I also totally forgot that today was Pearl Harbor Day!

Never forget...

p.s. what pm thingy?

 

[learnedmonkey]

.357 magnum 7 or 8 shot, S&W, but with a handle more like their early 20th century .38 special Navy revolver, which sits in my hand much better than their current handle, and a 7" barrel.

Sig 226 chambered in .357, but with about an inch more barrel length, and a higher capacity magazine.

Walther P99.


And I'll put in a couple of long guns while I'm at it.

Swedish mauser m96, scoped
Browning semiautomatic shotgun
Fully-auto AK-47 (since we're fantasizing, legally owned of course)
Military version M-16

BluesBear,

Thanks for the heads-up.

I checked it out. They don't make a 44 as in what I mentioned, but they do make a 41 Mag, a 45 Colt and a 45 ACP, all smallish 5-shot revovers.

I haven't payed much attention to Taurus firarms, but I'll look into these.

dream pistols:
Broomhandle Mauser
HK P7M8
Springfield WW2 Model
BSR

 

[12-34hom]

Dreaming.

Something on the order like the auto mag - chambered in 221 fireball.

12-34hom.

 

[Checkman]

A 9mm C96 Broomhandle Mauser
A Mauser C96 Bolo Broomhandle
A S&W Model 27 with 6.5 " barrel
A S&W Model 29 8 3/4 barrel 5 screw (just because)
A Sig 210
A really nice Webley MKVI
A cherry Winchester Model 71 rifle (HEY - it's my list)

I like obscure antiques.

I would love to have one of these:



A Charles Lancaster DA o/u pistol. This one is a .455, but I want a .577. Saw one once for $3500.

And:

A Merwin & Hulbert New Pocket Army in .44-40. This one's a .38, but New Pocket Army's look just like it. This particular .38's going for a cool $3000.

I want a medium-frame 10mm revolver, also, but I'd have to have it built.

 

[BluesBear]

You mean a Merwin & Hulbert like one of these?

 

[Missouri Mule]

Ed Brown Classic Custom

That is my lottery gun....at least the first one!

 

[Frenchy]

An early production S&W Model 27, with a 3 1/2 inch barrel....Blued!
It would then be dressed in a set of high grade French Walnut stocks crafted by Roy Fishpaw. Did I miss anything here??

 

[461]

I'd have to go with a Freedom Arms .41 Magnum and then send it off to Hamilton Bowen and tell him to make it "Special"

 

[cratz2]

Hrmm... If neither time nor money were issues, I'd probably have Ned Christiansen work me up a Brian Bilby-esque 1911 jobbie... An lightweight officer-sized frame and a steel Commander-sized slide. Probably in 9x23 or 38 Super. 10mm wouldn't be horrible either. A bit of Ned's trick metal magic with something as similar as possible to boron carbide as the finish.

And I wouldn't mind an Automag. Or one of the few Keweizicz (actually, I have no idea what it was called) pistols... They were similar in appearance to the Automag but with cleaner lines and generally a higher end product.

Also wouldn't mind a something that was full auto but very controlable.

 

[Hot brass]

What Preacherman said

 

[berto]

I'd have Bowen do a M1917 conversion a a Ruger Redhawk in .50AE w/moonclips.

 

[W Turner]

Easy.......Commander sized 10mm 1911 with a Damascus slide and blued frame by Larry Vickers......yeah, he probably would be reluctant until the zeroes started piling up...

After that...

Streetsweeper (I think thats right, the full-auto 12 ga.)
Full Custom Gov't. Model 1911 in a brilliant blue finish with Ivory stocks
S&W 329PD
SM&A treated Colt Mustang Pocketlite
Springfield Armory M1A Scout x2
Start my own collection of 3" bbl. N-frames a la Tamara
MP5SD
An example of every commemerative edition or LE stamped Glock
awwww forget it, I could go on for days....
