Huh. I don't know if I can come up with five. I don't usually think about things I really, really don't want. I'm more interested in contemplating the things that I do, and scheming for means to acquire that which I want the most.
I have owned a .410, and may again in the future, but for only one reason - training puppies. Actual hunting with it was a joke. Mostly due to my own inadequacies, I suspect, but it was still quite distressing to miss rabbits that should have *died*, and would have, had I been carrying my 20 guage or my 10/22 or a pistol. I will not own a Mossberg bolt action shotgun again, however. I think. Probably.
I will probably not buy a Thunder Five/Judge/Governor. I would take one if someone gave it to me. And then I'd be glad, because they are worth some money, so I could sell it or trade it for something I like. But I hope that someone I like doesn't give me one, because I would feel guilty for disrespecting a gift they gave me by immediately selling it, and I would feel bad for never, ever using something expensive that someone gave me and I didn't feel like I could get rid of out of respect for them.
A Mosin/Nagant carbine does not appeal to me. It did at one time, and I can't say never never never, because they are cheap and so is the ammo, but ... I'd probably get a 91/30, if I got another one, or an M39. I'd rather get another K31, though.
You go through things, and figure out what you like and what appeals to you, and you try things out and discover what doesn't work for you, and then you think, "Ah, I'd never get one of those again." I thought I'd never own a double action revolver again, once upon a time. But then I got to missing my old Model 10, and started buying them. I have four in the safe right now, and I'd buy another one right now - it's 0230 - or tomorrow or anytime. My favorite pistols are .38 and .357 double action revolvers, especially K-frame Smith & Wessons. I really want another Model 10, and a 64 isn't bad, and a model 15 would be awesome. Rugers aren't bad, and Colts can be great, too, but I mostly prefer S&W. But I really like lots of other kinds of pistols, too.
I would shoot most guns. I would have to have a lot of money to justify spending any of it on some of them, though. I'm a shooter, and an accumulator. I accumulate guns I like, like to shoot, and have a use for. I have yet to become a "collector", but don't ask my wife if I'm a collector. If I ever come into a lot of money, I will probably be one, and then I don't think many guns will be safe from my possession.
Maybe the Judge will still be, though.
