What's your Holy Grail?
I understand your question and you have received some very good answers. I take a different tac. My answer would be our Constitution and the Bill of rights. Without it you would not have received the answers you did. And this forum would not exist. These documents are truely sacred. I'm sure here all would agree.

Yes, I have recieved some excellent answers. They're great ideas for the next gun I get. And you do have an excellent point...but it's not quite a correct answer. See, my interpretation of a "Holy Grail" is like in Monty Python...that for which you strive to get, not that which you already have and consider to be holy of holies (eg, the Constitution and Bill of Rights)...UNLESS, you mean that you want them to be followed as they were written. This means that all the laws that have been created/enacted since then (1934, 1986?, 1994), as well as all the restrictions that states have imposed (well, most..maybe all), would be stricken. THAT is certainly a worthwhile "Holy Grail."

I think these will be highly useful as a CCW.

I also lust for an HK USPf jet funnel, with three or four of those translucent 18-rd mags that go with it. For two years I've been seaching for those with no success...

That's just the "informal" name for it, from where it is made. The Swiss military adopted it as the "9mm Pistole Modell 1949" or "P49" and the Danish military called it the M/49. Commercial models from 1949 on were called the P210.

A H&K P7M45 one of the few bench fabricated 45 acp P7s.
hmmm...
a Colt New Frontier SAA, .44 Special, 5.5" barrel. Skeeter Skelton wrote of them, but I have seen maybe 3 in 20 years, and never in a time where I could buy one.
A Freedom Arms .454, a 3 & 1/2 pound fine watch.
Another Delta Elite
A XP100R in .358 Winchester
A S&W 329PD
An original Registered Magnum S&W, with 5" barrel - it would be the mate to my commemorative.
A .30 Luger 1911
An Artillery Luger in .30 cal

Put one on layaway last weekend. Gettin' a hell of a deal too.posted by blue86buick
A Thompson 1927? .45ACP takes a handgun round, so i s'pose we can fudge it in this forum.
Ahhhhh..
I totally forgot about the P9S in 45 cal in the "sport" package. Positively lusted after that pistol in my youth.

Dr Rob, do you have a pic? What's so great about the P9S? I've never handled one myself.

Pretty much have the autos covered, been round the horn and ended up with a Wickman BHP and a Kimber Classic that has/is having some parts changed out.
I would love to have a Hamilton Bowen Alpine Ruger in 45 Colt or I saw a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 that Doug Turnbul had tirned into a Ruger New Frontier, color cased frame and hammer and charcoal blued cyl. grip frame and ejector with ivory grips.

Oh, and a NIB WWII-era Colt .45ACP.

A blued S&W Pre-war Registered Magnum. Barrel length, stocks, sights are unimportant as long as it is a REAL blued Registered Magnum and has all the stuff: Box, papers, certificate, etc.
Short of that, a blued Pre-27 5-inch barrel, 5-screw, S-serial prefix gun with real elephant ivory Skeeter Skelton-style stocks. Sights are not important, but would like a 24K McGivern bead.

Just a few...
S&W M-13 Aircrewman. Not to shoot, just to have.
Pachmayr Dominator in 7mm-08.
One of the first batches of alloy-framed Kahr K9's. (Yeah, sure, when pigs fly)
7.62x25 Tokarev barrel for 5" 1911 variants.
Magnum Research BFR in .45-70 (Which will eventually happen, not a matter of "if", but "when"...)
S&W Schofield replica, either S&W or Navy Arms.
S&W Heritage Series model 24, color case-hardened in .44 Special. Again, not rare, but a matter of "when".
