Are noobs allowed to play? If so:
SA 1911 Operator
Browning Buck .22
Charter Arms .44 Bulldog (they still make those?)
Glock 36
Beretta full-size anything
(or, any 5 pistols made by FNH due to how much I love my new FN9-9M)

I believe myself to be largely beyond my handgun-accumulation period, so it may be a very, very long time before I acquire a total of five more.
With plenty of fixed-sight SA sixguns already, I am looking to really nice, higher-end sixguns with adjustable sights. Perhaps a really nice Colt New Frontier, or maybe a not-so-nice one, and send it to Alan Harton or Ed Janis for refurbishing.
With plenty of duty/service-type autos, which I have narrowed down to several SIG P229s and a Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special 1911, it is possible I have bought my last weapon in this category, but I may, after retirement, start carrying a 1911 again regularly, and may add another 1911, perhaps another Baer, with adjustable sights.
I really, really like my 4" Ruger Speed Six, a superb carry sixgun, and would buy a spare if the opportunity presented itself.
Back to the 1911 for a moment. I just might be tempted by one of the re-released Colt Delta Elites in 10mm. Or, another maker's 10mm 1911.
Back to adjustable-sighted sixguns: Freedom Arms Model 97 sixguns are always tempting me, when a new batch arrives at a local dealer.
OK, that is five, but since the above are "just maybe" purchases, I will add that I like to finger-diddle 3-1/16" Ruger SP101s, looking for a really smooth one. This may be my most likely next purchase, as it is more affordable than the above handguns. Really, though, I am more likely to pick up another rifle or two before I buy more handguns.

1. BHP
2. ruger LCP
3. S&W 13, 19, 65, or 66 in either 3" or 4"
...yeah. that's all i'm really looking at right at this moment. 'course i'll consider others if the right deal comes along, especially FTF.

I just got it in my head that I want a Freedom Arms model 97 5.5" SA unfluted revolver in .45 colt - bad.
Wouldn't mind having a 10mm again -either a Dan Wesson or Springfield Omega or Tanfoglio/Witness Hunter 6".
I've also got a mild hankerin for an FN Five Seven and a 9x23mm double stack 1911 racegun style.
Also want a P30 Grendel .22 mag as a collectible.
Also want another Kahr - the new tiny .380 one.
If someone gave me a dark earth longslide Taurus 24/7 Pro in .45 acp I wouldn't refuse it - good pickup truck gun (cheap & weatherbeater).
OK, Santa, get off your lazy behind and bring me some toys!!

1) S&W 4006
2) CZ-75B in 9mm (I had one but it was lemon. I really want a new one).
3) Glock 20
4) Older S&W 357. I saw 2 mint 4" S&W 19-4s at the last gun show. One was $350 and the other was $400. I didn't buy however because it is not at the top of my list and I am not buying anything new to Jan 2009. I am flexible. I will buy whatever used S&W revolvers I find in good condition.
Does it use standard Glock 20 magazines?
