Now I want, scratch that, NEED a SIG 225.
You should order one from www.cdnninvestments.com catalog while they are cheap right now then. No time like the present!
What's with CDNN and the no gun sales thing? Says they won't even answer questions via e-mail. Some new law where they are? They get sued?

Can you hang around my wife and let her catch that "bug"?
Last year was exceptional for me as I got out of one collection and got back heavy into guns. They're one of the best collectables as you're hardly ever going to lose money.
Last year I got a Sig 226 refurbished (excellent deal by the way), a taurus snubby .38, an old RG at a gun show just for laughs, and for Christmas I got an H&R .22 from my parents and a Colt 6" python from my wife. The Python is the first gun I've had that I'm truly addicted to shooting.
I'm going to try to get one good pistol and maybe a couple used cheaper ones each year.

i surprised myself. over the last 14 months i have bought/sold 11 guns.
sold two steyrs, two pos ap-9's, one walther p22, one ruger mk 2, one marlin papoose, traded cz-52 for an enfield, which i later sold, bought/sold a para p12, and the last one i bought is the colt 6721.
sure didnt seem like i was going through that many guns though. and if i can find an original style stock for my mauser k98 i'd probably sell my yugo m48a.
right now i'm thinking 'simplify'. my planned purchases (whenever i save up the money) are a cz452, a 9mm of some flavor (hi power or p99 or sig, i dunno which yet), and maybe one of the russian captured mausers. i think i can get all those within the next 6-8 months, if i dont waste my money.

California has mandated I buy 1 every 30 days so I try and do my part! 
One of these years, I'll have max out my purchases!

The powers that be in California have set a 30-day rule, which means we citizens are only permitted to purchase 13 handguns a year.
If our timing is right. If we mess up, then we have to get by with fewer.
(I think we're graded.)
I have bought #1 for 2005. Now they won't allow me to buy another until Feb 8.
That gives me only 2 weeks to make my choice, find it, negotiate price and then find the money.
If I Miss the Deadline, then awful things will happen and it will be MY fault for dawdling, see?

"Hmm maybe I should cut a deal with my husband...since he likes video/PC games so much...every time he gets a toy, I get a toy "
hmmmm, sounds like a pretty good deal for you. He buys a new PS2 game for $50, and you buy a new $600 gun.

I've been averaging 2-3 per year, but I've had to pace myself a few times as the temptation to just "throw it on the credit card" can be overwhelming.
I know how you feel though. When I find something I want, the itch remains until I get it. Two year ago I had just picked up a 1911 when a week later a local gun store was having a going out of business sale. Well, instead of saying to myself that I had just bought a new handgun and that should be enough, I went to the sale and ended up buying a S&W 686 Plus. The price was to good to pass up and I figure I'll just break in two guns instead of one!!!

I bought 2 guns last year. An 9mm FN hipower from CDNN and a mossberg 590 off the shelf at a local shop. I also inherited a 20 gauge gun from my grandfather. No sales as of yet.
I have a list of guns I want. It is on my "expensive wants" list on my fridge. Currently they are:
1. Browning Buckmark Camper
2. M1 Carbine, probably one of the new Auto Ordnance guns.
3. .357 Revolver, either a 3" or 4" ruger GP100 or a 2 1/2" model 19 or 66
4. .22 rifle, probably a Ruger 10/22 or Marlin model 60.
5. A 12 gauge sporting shotgun.
I research and examine and what have you when a new gun tickles my fancy. But I like to be disciplined with my discretionary spending. That and theologically, I want to make sure I own my guns and my guns don't own me. I feel the need to take firearms idolatry seriously.
Usually when my gun obsession (or a good deal) coincides with a gun on the list that has been there for a while, I buy something. My girlfriend is getting a rather expensive ring soon, so I may be purchasing the carbine and one of the handguns soon.
