Every so often she walks into your life. That gun you have been looking for. That gun your not going to sell. Let’s see those ladies that have a special place in your hearts. I have a few. A used and loved German SP2022, two new to me that just happens to show up this week. A 257 Roberts model 70 featherweight and a
S&W 66-1. SHH Don’t tell the other girls in the safe.

These are the ones I want kept in the family when Im gone (and have left instructions to that effect)-


Mint M17-2 with TH, TT, TG. My most accurate handgun and one of the last- of many- I got from my buddy Roger before he passed.


Springfield M1922m2- also from my buddy Roger. He knew Id been looking for one for years and set aside for me. Gave me a crazy good price too. I miss him alot- his shop was my happy place. My most accurate rifle.


Minty Remington M51 .380. Id only seen these in books until I found this one and couldnt snatch it up fast enough. Always thought they oozed Art-deco class. Since then, Ive only seen two others in the flesh and they werent nearly as nice.


Savage M99 .243. At one point I had a half-dozen 99s, but this is the first and the last. Classy, no frills, and superbly accurate.


1917 DWM Luger, ex-Artillery model, converted to a Weimar police pistol in 1920......and then, who knows? If only it could tell stories!


4-digit 1st Gen Universal Carbine, which I upgraded with GI guts.



My favorite gun, period. M686 no dash, found at a pawn shop. Bought it to replace my long-gone first handgun, a 681. On second thought, I might request to have it buried with me- just in case the ancient Egyptians were on to something........

This Browning A-Bolt I will never sell. Gift from my uncle, I was not allowed to pay for it. Not a Grail Gun per se, but still a gem.

The 1903, again will never sell. Belonged to a friend, I had always made it clear that if he was ever going to sell it I wanted to get the first call, it was kind of a joke between us because I knew he wouldn't sell. Long story short, money was tight for him, I helped him out and he sold it to me and I left it open ended that he could buy the gun back whenever, probably a year or so passed when he died suddenly in a car crash. It's kind of a bummer gun tbh... He did always say that when he ever sold it, I'd be the one he'd sell it to.

A few of my handguns I'm passing on... (I'll have to find pics of my long guns later)

 

[2ndtimer]

I have had these for a long time, picked up the model 28 above in 1998 at a gun show for the princely sum of $225, the .22 Diamondback new back in 1980 for $279. They are called the good old days for a reason.

 

[Demi-human]

When Magnum research released a stainless Eagle I had to have it. I saved forever it seemed, and hawked the gun shop sites. I finally ordered one and beckoned it home.When I went to pick it up there was a small wait while they got things around.

That’s when I spied the Buckmark in the case below the cash register. A seven inch Contour. I had to have this one too!
An awesome deal on it, with a waiving of the transfer fee as well. I brought home two pistols that day.

The last two I’ll ever sell. One so accurate my rifles cringe when I set it on the bench. The other a sledge hammer that handles like a feather.
(Well, a really heavy feather that sounds like thunder.)

 

[bannockburn]

One of my all-time favorites this Colt Combat Commander came this way courtesy of a limited edition run from Colt's Custom Shop. As accurate as a Gold Cup without being so finicky about ammo!


My most prized .22 semi-auto all this Beretta Model 70S needed was a trip to Ron Mahovsky's Metalife shop to get his hard chrome finish and this gun was good to go!


Finally found a Browning Hi-Power with a trigger I could happily live with (and right out of the box at that), sights I could easily see, and a thumb safety I could actually use. All of which made for a stellar 9mm. that was accurate, reliable, and durable.


Have to include at least one revolver, in this case a S&W Model 686-no dash that still has the nicest DA/SA trigger on it than any other revolver I have ever tried!


And can't forget my favorite J frame, a S&W Model 649 been my CCW companion for a long, long time!

There are lots of nice guns to admire posted in this thread but to me guns are "it's" with no gender. I have had an "it" appear a few times.

 

[chicharrones]

That gun your not going to sell.

Most here have seen my "never sell" guns before.

Swiss K31 (gift from brother), Marlin 39AS, Marlin 1894 .357 Mag, and modified Zastava MP22 .22 Mag.

What do you mean by “ German “. SP 2022 ?

Whether or not, very cool gun.

 

[tark]

A T-series Hi-Power made in 68. A C-96 Broomie made in 1913. Both, never fired after leaving the factory. Stock is matching to the Broomie and the knife is a Mike Dilluvio custom damascus. Real ivory as well. I paid $2000 for the C-96 and the Browning was given to me as a gift in return for a favor. These are just two of my "never sell" guns. When I kack out they will go to my son.

 

[LoonWulf]

I dont have any yet.....i do have a few that to remove from my hands would cost enough to make a sane person walk away grumbling.

All of which need updated pictures.

Christensen Ridgeline .280ai

Browning Abolt .375 Ruger.

Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum.

RIA Tac-Match Ultra 6" 10mm. (Getting the 5" in 40 and fitting a 10mm barrel and recoil spring to it soon as well).

I think every gun I own fits into that classification! lol

German made not U.S. made. The German made SP2022 hade a different coating on the slide that could not be applied to the US manufactured slides due to the EPA not approving its use here. I’m not a expert but this is the way it was explained to me.
