Which one would you pick? I don't really mean just the most expensive one out there, just one that you want but can't seem to see paying the price out of your own pocket.

Post a pic or a link. Here is mine:

Nothing better than owning a gun made by one of my relatives!

My actual gift guns have been a Baby Eagle 9mm and a customized Super Blackhawk from my son, and a Bisley .44 Magnum and a 50th Anniversary Ruger Standard form my wife.

My son is very understanding of the compulsive trader syndrome, and actually I traded both of those back to him! He no longer has either.

The guns I received from my wife will be staying with me.

An HK P7M13. I have wanted one since the mid 80s, but some other weapon always seems more obtainable and draining the funds for that purchase. Maybe if the mag ban dies. . . .:D

"If someone were to buy you a handgun? "

Can't do it. It's called a strw purchase. It's illegal.

That's easy; a CZ-97!

It's only a straw purchase if you're buying it for someone who can't legally buy it for themselves because of past, shall we say, difficulties. Otherwise, it's called a "gift," or a "present."

I would like a Kimber Pro Carry. Just the basic flat black model. Nothing fancy. I am also in need of a Glock 30, but beyond those two, I pretty much have all the guns I like (that is legal).

An original issue Walker Colt. About as much chance as Delmar has of someone buying me one, figured I might want to aim high

A three inch S&W revo, in .357, .44 Spec., or .44 Mag. Preferably without the trigger lock, but who's gonna get picky if someone else is paying the freight.;)

What I really, really want (at the moment), is (in no order) :

A M27, blue, 4 inch

A M696 three inch

A M29, blue, 3-4 inch

If someone else bought it (how's this for compromise, rationalization, and prevarication), I'd also take one of those short barreled .500 S&W Magnums.:scrutiny:

I'd have to be dreaming...especially being by my lonesome. I did recieve a rifle in the '70's --gift from gunsmith.

Ok, I've always wanted a Singer made Gov't model 1911. I'd settle for a old pre '70's GM. Heck since this is a 'dream anyway' I'd take a 1911 made by my gunsmith, Mil-Spec, as close to the aforementioned with a crisp 4# trigger. I do like his Pro Carry, used it for a few days...in a new pc I'd opt for that.

I would not turn down a 3" 686 or 41 mag mountain gun.

Easy; a Freedom Arms Model 97 in .45 Colt with the extra .45 ACP cylinder. Or, the same gun in either .22 or .44 Special.

I'm only going to accept a P7M8 or better. :D

10-Ring
February 23, 2003, 06:18 PM
Being CA, I'm slightly limited. But I'd love a HK w/ a threaded barrel...SOCOM or Tactical. Outside of that another P7M8 would be nice too :cool:

February 23, 2003, 06:21 PM
oh oh this one is easy for me oneof each of the coonan series handguns .. the "A" model , another" B "model , a "Cadet" , the 41 mag .. but they all have to be coonans not the takeover guns .. :scrutiny:

A nice P7M8 or one of the original EAA Gold Teams in 38 Super.

But for free, I'd settle for a Kahr P9 Covert or even one of the new KelTec 380s. :p

Could I have a Desert Eagle .50? Please? Anyone? Anyone?

Probably never buy one for myself.....really don't see one ever showing up in my collection either. Nobody gonna buy me one:(

Carla
February 24, 2003, 02:24 PM
A 1902 Luger Carbine with matching shoulder stock.

If nobody would buy me that, how bout the Colt Single Action that Patton carried during WW2.

:) A gal can dream, can't she? :)

Any Burns Custom 9x23 or 10mm.


If not, an Ed Brown or Nowlin commander sized 10mm.

SIG P-210

I've come this -><- close to buying one on more than one occasion, but have never managed to talk myself into shelling out the long green for a nicely-built copy of a 1930s French design.

I wouldn't kick one out of my gun collection, though, and they do shoot nicely...

My birthday present was a S&W 686 Plus 4". Exactly what I asked for.

February 25, 2003, 01:16 PM
As a courtesy to my benefactor, I respectfully suggest that she select from the following short list:

1. Browning Medalist, LNIB, not too much engraving.
2. Springfield Armory FBI style Gov't Model
3. Automag .44 Magnum, a la Dirty Harry, but with short barrel
4. Colt Python in VG condition, from the "good old days".
5. P7M8 in VG condition
6. MP5 (if rules permit - it CAN be fired one-handed!)

Yes, I'm from Kalifornia, and some of these aren't 'acceptable' here; screwem.

a springfield loaded compact 1911

February 25, 2003, 02:15 PM
a S&W model 642. It is the gun on the top of my list. Seeing how it is a little less expensive then a lot of other choices posted here, you could always add a Barimi hip grip with a Tyler T. Boy, would I be happy. :)

Isn't someone buying you a gun illegal?

Oh heck I'll take that Wilson CQB or any Beretta 92G or any HK in 45 or 9mm....

Schuey2002
February 25, 2003, 02:27 PM
Yeah, it's called a straw purchase.;)

Since we are handing out free guns around here, I'll take a Korth, after which I'm gunna' sell it and buy more HK's..:D

Buying a gun for someone who is ineligible to buy one for themselves is a straw purchase.

Right now the pistol I want is a third gen Glock 17. My dream pistol is a 1911. So I would like a Colt new rollmark 91A1.

Original .45 ACP Luger. There are only 5 or 6 in existence. Would LOVE to have one in my collection. Oh yeah baby!!!

February 26, 2003, 02:57 AM
Tamara, some GSC (clerk, not commando) told me that....it wasn't ok to buy for anyone if you intend to give it as a gift. Maybe that's just CA?

Adios

February 26, 2003, 12:35 PM
Hoooo...I'd have to go with a 6" .357 Mag Mateba Unica 6 *drool*. Second choice would be a Dan Wesson Razorback in 10mm.

Schuey2002
February 26, 2003, 02:09 PM
Coonan357, you can have it!!! Of course, your going to have to shoot me back a cashiers check or USPS money order in the amount of oh, say, $5,000....:neener: :D

Jimbo,

I'm pretty sure there were only 2 .45 acp Lugers made. They were made for testing by the U.S. Military and were put through all kinds of toture tests. The location of the Luger .45 stamped #1 has not been found. The location of the #2 is known, though I forget where it is.

I'm pretty sure that this is what I remember from "Tales of the Gun" on the History channel.

I'm also going to steal your idea. ;) I want the .45 acp Luger #1 that's in perfect original condition that was left in a vat of cosmoline in a warehouse. :) :) :)
