Wow. I was going to try to answer, but I realized that most of the high end guns I'd want are revolvers. My semi-autos are just tools to me so the fanciest I'd get is a Kahr K series Elite, or perhaps a customized S&W M&P.

Very interesting insight... hrm...

Which five highend pistols would you like to have? Minimum price limit is $1500.

I have them already ... and listed in order of favorite (at time of writing) to least favorite.

1. Ed Brown Special Forces Light Rail
2. Ed Brown Special Forces
3. Dan Wesson V-Bob
4. Dan Wesson Valor
5. Ed Brown Special Forces Carry

I'm not looking to add any more $1,500+ pistols to my collection ... but you never know.

5 wilson supergrades in various sizes and weights. CQB lightweight, Bill wilson carry, etc. If I get to dream I may as well go for a $5000.00 gun. It will always have value and I like 1911's over anything else, as long as you asked which ones I would "like" to have.Ed Brown and Les baer also would fit the bill, but you may as well dream about the most expensive ones around.I already have what I need, this is just what I would like.

 

[Mike OTDP]

I'll play...

1. Feinwerkbau AW93
2. Pardini SP - with the electronic trigger.
3. Korth pistol. Yes, I said pistol. They make one.
4. Clark longslide 1911. Preferably the true longslide, not the Long Heavy Slide version.
5. Match Guns MG2 - IF I had free access to factory support. They are notoriously cantankerous.

I have been very lucky, the only one I don't have is a Les Baer Thunder Ranch.
Austin Behlert Custom 1924 Colt, and matching Browning HP.

A Full House Custom by AD Swenson.

Chuck Warner Custom Delta Elite.

Last but not least. a Custom Colt by Yost-Bonitz.

 

[HGUNHNTR]

Sig 210..I have the rest.

 

[LawScholar]

1.) HK USP
2.) Sig Sauer P229
3.) Springfield Custom Shop 1911
4,) Ed Brown Executive Carry
5,) Beretta Steel I

I only prefer one, to make up for one I had many moons ago that did not work out for me.

I would like a LW Seecamp .25 Auto (preferably), but a .32 Auto I would also accept!

Back when they first came out, I bought a new one, around 1985. Unfortunately, that gun did not work out for me and I ended up trading it for something else (cannot even remember what). I did like the .25 with the leather wallet type holster in my back pocket.

Oh well, perhaps some day my dream will come true again.

 

[Skribs]

$1500 minimum? Even the tacticool ones on my wish list, complete with a red dot, light, and trigger job wouldn't make $1500 (unless you count an AR pistol on my wishlist).

@Mike OTDP - cool list, a lot like mine! I had the MG-2 on my list but took it off only because I wouldn't want to hassle with it! But what a cool gun *when* it works.

 

[1KPerDay]

A Smith and Wesson in .44 Magnum too I know its not a semi auto but to me they are high end.
I might have a .45 acp Colt Series 70 blinged up a little and maybe spend the money on two consecutive serial # Single Actions blinged up too so that beings it to six I guess that's enough. I'm over the limit.

I never was good at math, but...

 

[MrDig]

I would start with Magnum Research Desert Eagles in .357 and 44 magnum.
Still working on the other three, but those two to begin with.

I never was good at math, but...

These two were from an earlier post in the thread

I put more emphasis on my revolver collection than my pistols, so I tend to buy decent quality affordable/low price semi-autos. Therefore, my definition of "High End" may be different (or lower) than others, but here goes.

- Browning Renaissance HP
- Ruger sr1911 (not high end, but rare and good)
- upper end Colt full size 1911
- good condition WW2 Luger
- Nice CZ Tactical Sport

 

[Loosedhorse]

Really, really nice choices here.

This is autoloaders, right?







(Okay, okay--the Fosberry isn't an autoloader. Still want one.)

 

[wlewisiii]

1) S&W TRR 8
2) Freedom Arms Model 97 in .45 Colt, 4 1/4" barrel
3) SIG 210
4) LNIB Colt 1908
5) Linebaugh #1-Small .45 Colt on Ruger Frame, 4 5/8" barrel

 

[JustinJ]

1. HK45C
2. FNP 45 Tactical w/ trijicon dot sight
3. HK P30
4. rhourbaugh 9
5. Whatever fancy 1911

 

[cjl8651]

In no particular order:
1. Bergmann 1896
2. Luger P08
3. Mauser C96
4. Borchardt C93
5. Schönberger-Laumann 1892

 

[TRX]

Auto Mag ($2500-ish)
Schwarzlosze Model 1898 ($25,000-ish)
Gabbett-Fairfax Mars ($35,000-ish)
Guncrafters 1911, .50 GI ($3000)

I'd also look for a 1911 that got the full boogie from Bob Day or Armand Swenson. I'm sure a documented example in decent shape would easily exceed the $1500 minimum...
