What gun have you wanted for a long time but just won't spend the money on?

[weekendracer]

I do want a long range rifle set up, whatever the caliber of the day is, .416, .338, 50.

The problem is, not only are they expensive, there simply isn't anywhere I can shoot that gun. I can't really come up with any scenario where I'd actually need one. SHTF you won't be taking mile shots. You also wouldn't want to tell everyone within 3 miles where you are.

I see that new stainless steel Colt Pythons are starting to come down in street price... but now that they are almost becoming affordable for an old guy like me, I don't seem to be lusting so much for one any longer. Funny how the mind works. Can't afford = Must have. Coming down into the semi-affordable price range = Yawn.

Okay, part of it is Maura and Andrea and the MA legislature. Risky time to be expanding the "hoard"... even if it is just a revolver.

I was big on the DWX since it was first announced. Now I'm kinda meh, I dont think the gun will shoot any better than what I currently have.

FN SCAR. As much as I'd love to take one home its just difficult to justify at the $3000+ price tag. Especially when AR10s are doing so well and cost roughly half as much.

The highly elusive and rare S&W 457D as built for the Chicago PD. I've seen exactly ONE for sale and was too cheap to buy it.

I still kinda want one, but will wait till they slap an optics plate on it.

M249 is a the top my list.

I would like the first handgun that I bought after getting my carry permit in 1973. S&W Model 29 with 8 3/8 barrel. Will not accept the re-issue with the Hillary Hole.

A North American Arms 1911.

 

[DrBurnsides]

M134. just Can’t afford it. Or the food.

I’ve been tossing around the idea of getting a WWII or earlier 1911. Something I’m seriously considering.

Off the bucket list 1918 ‘black colt’….go for it….
