I understand your question and you have received some very good answers. I take a different tac. My answer would be our Constitution and the Bill of rights. Without it you would not have received the answers you did. And this forum would not exist. These documents are truely sacred. I'm sure here all would agree.
Yes, I have recieved some excellent answers. They're great ideas for the next gun I get. And you do have an excellent point...but it's not quite a correct answer. See, my interpretation of a "Holy Grail" is like in Monty Python...that for which you strive to get, not that which you already have and consider to be holy of holies (eg, the Constitution and Bill of Rights)...UNLESS, you mean that you want them to be followed as they were written. This means that all the laws that have been created/enacted since then (1934, 1986?, 1994), as well as all the restrictions that states have imposed (well, most..maybe all), would be stricken. THAT is certainly a worthwhile "Holy Grail."
I also lust for an HK USPf jet funnel, with three or four of those translucent 18-rd mags that go with it. For two years I've been seaching for those with no success...
That's just the "informal" name for it, from where it is made. The Swiss military adopted it as the "9mm Pistole Modell 1949" or "P49" and the Danish military called it the M/49. Commercial models from 1949 on were called the P210.
a Colt New Frontier SAA, .44 Special, 5.5" barrel. Skeeter Skelton wrote of them, but I have seen maybe 3 in 20 years, and never in a time where I could buy one.
A Freedom Arms .454, a 3 & 1/2 pound fine watch.
Another Delta Elite
A XP100R in .358 Winchester
A S&W 329PD
An original Registered Magnum S&W, with 5" barrel - it would be the mate to my commemorative.
Pretty much have the autos covered, been round the horn and ended up with a Wickman BHP and a Kimber Classic that has/is having some parts changed out.
I would love to have a Hamilton Bowen Alpine Ruger in 45 Colt or I saw a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 that Doug Turnbul had tirned into a Ruger New Frontier, color cased frame and hammer and charcoal blued cyl. grip frame and ejector with ivory grips.
A medium-frame 10mm revolver, even if I have to custom-build it.
A 6" Automag II.
A Luger in .45 ACP to go with my Shansei Broomhandle Mauser.
A T/C Contender and about a gazillion barrels.
A Lancaster DA O/U pistol in .577 Revolver.
A Dan Coonan .357.
A Rolling Block pistol. Maybe two.
A brace of saw-handled muzzle-loading damascus-barreled deulling pistols made by the likes of Durs Egg.
An MAS M-1935 in .30 french long.
An Astra 400.
A Webley R.I.C revolver.
All those Taurus revolvers that I can't buy in my stupid state.
A 10mm Witness.
That's a start...
Recovered/attained grails:
.45 Broomhandle.
The Monster 7.62 x 39 derringer.
Automags III and V.
Springfield Armory S.A.S.S. conversions in .243, .308, and .358 Winchesters.
10mm S&W 1066. (Substitute standard.)
Mountain Gun .44 mag.
Webley .45 revolvers.
Now that Ted Yost has moved even closer to me, I wish he would sneak by, pick up an unfired Colt 70 I've been hording forever, and surprise me with something all my own! pleasepleasepleaseplease
A blued S&W Pre-war Registered Magnum. Barrel length, stocks, sights are unimportant as long as it is a REAL blued Registered Magnum and has all the stuff: Box, papers, certificate, etc.
Short of that, a blued Pre-27 5-inch barrel, 5-screw, S-serial prefix gun with real elephant ivory Skeeter Skelton-style stocks. Sights are not important, but would like a 24K McGivern bead.
