I would have to get one of those, especially if they have properly sized throats.
What's your latest bucket list handgun?

I have a 686 (6.5" no dash) that I managed to hang onto. It was my first handgun and still a favorite to shoot.

Still want a nice Makarov. I’m sure one of these days the right one at a decent price will come along, when I’ve got the cash. Ditto on the FN Browning 1900 but I may have to bite the bullet and chase that one on gunbroker. Not as common to see one at a gun show or the local shops.
I just picked up a Ruger Mk 2, so that definitely scratched a semi-auto 22 pistol itch I’ve had for a long time.

There are a lot of guns that I would like to have, but unless I can find them at a very good price, the only ones that I really am willing to buy are a RUGER Champion Match revolver with a 4.2 inch barrel in .357 magnum and a rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor, but I have not selected the rifle yet.
If the U.S. army goes through with its selection of a 6.8 rifle, I may buy one in either the round selected (the army has three different types of 6.8 rounds competing) if they become available for civilian sale or just buy an M-4 in 6.8 SPC The rounds that the army is testing are rather exotic. One company, TEXTRON is using a case, telescoped round. The round looks something like a rimless plastic shot shell with the bullet down inside the case and not protruding as rifle rounds normally due.
The other two round are more traditional, but one is made of composite material instead of brass and the last uses a brass/steel combination. None of these rounds may ever make it the civilian marketplace and all may be non-reloadable as well.
The 6.8 SPC is the round developed by U.S. Special Forces and REMINGTON. It would be a good starting point for a future military rifle.

I had sold my Glock 29, about 2004 or 2005, with plans to someday replace it with a Short Frame, someday, as the original large frame Glopcks are just a bit too big for my hands. Well, yesterday, I saw the Short Frame version of a G30s, at a local police supply store. I did not know that a Short Frame version of the G30s had been manufactured, but, there it was. Some inter-webbin’ revealed just how much of a unicorn I had seen, so I returned this morning, and bought it. I had not really considered a Short Frame Glock to be a “bucket list” item, but seeing this one refreshed my memory.
Well, Short Frame Glock does, indeed, fit me well; better than any Glock I have handled. I probably won’t be shooting it very much with my aging, gimpy right hand, but it will be a quite nice lefty gun.

You got a great package in your G30s, I have one that doesn't get shot too often, I shoot my G21 gen 4 more often, but with that G30s under an untucked shirt or jacket, I always feel well prepared for any predator here in PA.
Well, with my tendency to acquire favored weapons in pairs, I added a Gen4 G30, after finding one locally, and confirming that it fit well. This one is, of course, to complement the G30s Short Frame, that I bought last week. Notably, the Short Frame does not fit my right hand as well as my left hand, whereas the Gen4 G30 is is a better ambidextrous fit. (I don’t plan to shoot to shoot either “compact” Glock with my gimpier right hand, anyway, as I generally only shoot full-G17-grip-sized 9mm “orthopedic” Glocks right-handed.)
This whole “baby” .45 Glock thing got started when I went to check the availability of a Blue Label G26, last week. Fortunately, I had accumulated a meaningful quantity of .45 ACP ammo, long before the panic-demic.

I just picked up a Ruger LCP...wasn't on my bucket list but I was drawn to it for something ultra concealable to carry.
I've been wanting a double stack 1911 in 10mm for a while and found one at my LGS for less than I've been seeing them for online. It's a RIA, and I'm really happy with the quality and fit. I especially like the way the double stack grip fills my hand. You can't beat 16+1 of 10 mm in a 1911.
Like you flightsimmer I am a 10mm aficionado. I have 4 of them. All semi-auto. Since I have two Ruger Redhawk .41magnum revolvers I will probably never buy a 10mm revolver, I would however like a chance to shoot one just to compare it to my .41mag's. Here are my 10mm's:
Colt Delta Elite Gold Cup
Springfield Armory XDM
Smith & Wesson 1066
and my Bucket List Handgun since they announced them several years ago.

If it’s a bucket list gun, why not go for the real deal.
I scratched this one off my bucket list a few years ago. 1940 Tula TT33.

Boringly, more Glocks. Gen 4, 23 and 20. And a Ruger Mark IV Hunter.

Colt Python. I'm old and I deserve it.
Browning Hi-Power. TBH, I'd be happy with one of its many clones, assuming I could get a decent shooter. I'm a terrible collector, so I just want one to shoot. Unfortunately, the last one I saw at a gun show was $1600, which put it out of my reach.
