Here is what I have in order of purchase:

1. Ruger GP 100 6" ss
2. Glock 20
3. Ruger Super Redhawk .454 7 1/2"
4. Glock 30
5. Ruger Mark III Bull Barrell SS
6. CZ-52
7. Stoeger Cougar 9mm

So what am I missing? I am trying for versatility and historical signifigance yet I haven't so many historical guns because I am so worried about not being able to buy a damn high capacity in the next year or two.

I'm going to the show tomorrow afternoon and would really appreciate your insight asap.

I was thinking next I would get a .40 of some sort. I qualified with a Glock 23 rental and did the best in my entire CHL class. (that's not saying much I know) but I did really good considering I never layed hands on this gun until then. Maybe a CZ or HK but can't really see an advantage from a HK to a Glock considering the price.
 
A smaller wheel gun. Maybe an SP101, a Colt Cobra or Diamondback. (Dare I say even a little S&W)

For sure you're missing a Colt or Springfield 1911.

What? No single action revolver? A Blackhawk or SuperBlackhawk!


What's the worry about capacity? I shoot Bullseye and we only have 5 rounds in the mag at one time. When I carry I have more. It's the practice that allows me to feel comfortable that if I needed to put a round 'where it needed to be', that I'd be able to do so. Spraying mass quantities doesn't make me comfortable. Quality shots make me comfortable. Not to knock all the LEO's out there, but round here, they don't get enough time on the range. Neither do the bad guys. That's why they all want hi-cap firearms.

Sorry, I don't mean to change the subject of your thread, but you've already got a couple that hold more than 6. Try a single action handgun. You just might like it.

You are missing a lot but I would start with a 1911 and a J frame revolver. Then I would find a couple of K frames, a snub nose and a 4" model.

There are too many to list but I'm sure everyone here will cover most of them... ;)
 
You have a great collection now. Perhaps a J frame, and without quesiton you NEED a 1911. A HP is needed as well.

Remember, A Colt is always the right answer!
 
A SIG.

But beware! Once you get one, they will soon multiply and drive all the other lowly pistols out of your collection and posses you! :D

Yup, a SIG, mmm hmmm, just one, snort... giggle...twich... :evil:

Click to expand...

Historical signifigance and high capacity? I also note that you don't have any long guns (EDITED TO ADD: Oops, just saw your post in the Rifle forum :eek:.), so why not an AK-47? That would knock out the first two and provide for something really different :p . Not to mention that the mere sight of an AK makes gun grabbers pee pee in their pants :evil:. Surplus 7.62 x 39mm is pretty cheap too.

Either that or a shottie of some type.

If sticking to handguns, a snubnose revolver always makes a cool addition. An 1873 Single Action Army replica would be something different too.

There are several that I would recommend, some have already been mentioned.

1. S&W Model 10 (should be in every collection)
2. S&W Model 19 or 66
3. S&W Model 686
4. Colt 1911 (any series)
5. Colt Python
