Top ten handguns

No particular order:

1. G19 (Gen3)
2. G34 (Gen3)
3. Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley (.44 Mag)
4. Ruger Super Blackhawk 5.5"
5. S&W 442 (no lock)
6. Springfield Loaded 1911
7. Dan Wesson CCO
8. SIG P229 Equinox (9x19)
9. SIG P220 Scorpion
10. Ruger LCP

The first nine were easy, but I had a really tough time putting the right gun in that last spot lol. Thing is, I can't imagine ever owning ten handguns. I enjoy shooting rifles, shotguns, and handguns pretty much equally, and I think I'll stop at about eight to ten guns total. Only way it'll go over is if I have a duplicate or two.

Top ten:
1. Colt Gold Cup
2. S&W model 52
3. Hammerli 208
4. FWB AW93
5. Encore .308
6. SBH .44
7. FN FiveSeven
8. Browning HiPower
9. BFR .475 Linebaugh
10. T/C Contender

S&W Model 57
Colt Python
Colt Diamondback
Ruger GP-100
Glock 23
S&W Model 17
S&W Model 18
Kimber 1911 (your choice)
Colt Officers Model Match
Colt Trooper Mark III

If I had the money, and the desire to have a collection, I'd have:

Basic 1911 meeting Jeff Cooper's requirements for carry
Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special
Dan Wesson CBOB
WWII Remington Rand M1911A1
WWI M1911
Original, black powder frame, Single Action Army (circa 1870s-1880s)
Colt Walker
Colt 1851 Navy
Glock 19
Smith and Wesson Model 10

As it stands, being a minimalist, I only own number 1 on my list, and I'm happy with that.

My current top ten by personal choices.

1) 1939 Registered Magnum
2) 1940 38/44 Outdoorsman
3) 1939 38/44 Heavy Duty conversion to target pistol
4) 1934 38/44 Heavy Duty Shooter
5) 1949 38/44 Outdoorsman (my shooter gun)
6) 1950 38/44 Outdoorsman glossy target shooter
7) 1982 357 5" Redhawk
8) Les Baer custom 10mm HeavyWeight Monolith
9) Les Baer custom 38 Super HeavyWeight Monolith
10) Sig 210-6 light frame adjustable sight.

If I had to pick guns, that is how I would select them today.
