If I find an original model 10 snub (or prior), I don't think I could pass it by.

3' or 4" S&W 610 with an unfluted cylinder. Not a big revolver guy but I have always wanted one for some reason.

View Quote

I can't quite explain my obsession for this gun. I want one in any barrel length.
A 5" is preferred. Unfluted, please.

Although I already own one, I would have to say definitely the Beretta 92SB for me.
I am still looking for more NIB/LNIB 92SB ...

My second choice would be the Belgium Browning Hi-Power T series or C series

There is nothing I'm going to jump on regardless of price, but if I find any of the following for the right price...

Finnish L35 Lahti or Swedish M40 9mm
HK P7
HK P9S
CZ75 High Polish Stainless
CZ75 “Short Rail”
Steyr-Hahn M1912 got that one since posting

Steyr-Peiper 1909
Mauser 1914
Sauer 1913
FN 1900
Astra 300
CZ-24
CZ-38

...they're going home with me.

Quoted:
Frommer STOP chambered in the original proprietary 7.65mm crimped cartridge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frommer_Stop

An interesting "long recoil unlocked" semiautomatic.
From the days back when designers were still trying to figure out make efficient and reliable semiautomatic pistols.

I'd love to add one to my tiny collection of "arcania" which presently includes a roller unlocked CZ52.

View Quote

I collect goofball designs and odd operating systems. I have a Remington '51, C96, CZ52, a few Lugers, Steyr GB, and of course...

...it's a .380, though. Very tiny for it's time and actually shoots very soft.

BTW, the Stop was never chambered for the 7.65 Frommer, that was the previous model, the 1910.

Mine was a USP45 Tactical, and recently I scored one in great shape for $550. I've wanted one for 15 years at least, and it's every bit as good as I'd hoped. Glad I got it now when I won't go broke in 6 months and have to sell it, that happened a lot in my earlier years.

With my Hybrid and a little water it is as loud as a hand clap.

I don't know why it's special but they put the red on it to prevent it from cracking.

Personally,

I would like to own an original 5" No Dash Model 29, .44 magnum.

Only 500 were made (late 50s) if I recall, and I have never seen one in the wild.

I ended up having a smith do one for me off of a 29-2, and it is very nice.

I don't know why it's special but they put the red on it to prevent it from cracking.

I think they are only special because they quit making them like that back in the day, and nothing is made like they used to. Whether it is actually the red backing or not, I'm not sure, it may just be that the red backing is an indication of the age of the grips, and the correct grips for the older pistols.

Either way, they aren't available from Browning anymore, so they are worth more.

Really want a S&W 325 PD 4"

But would buy Colt Python or Anaconda w/o hesitation if in good condition.

If H&K offered a MP7, would also buy two of them w/o hesitation.

Have a P7 PSP, but always on the lookout for a P7 M13.

I don't need it and I'm not going to hunt one down online, but should I happen into a shop with one it's mine.

My dad bought one of these when he got heavy into 1911s for $800. It was lightly used. I found it in his console of his truck one day and promptly cussed him out for leaving it in there. I told him "if your gonna carry a gun, you fucking carry it. Don't leave that gun in the car, it will get stolen and it's not replaceable." I further told him how I was worried about someone stealing the gun out of his car and then using it for armed robbery on him and my mom while they were home.

Long story short, his truck got broke into one night and he left that gun in there. I was livid, said some not so nice things about how stupid that was. He would sure like to find another one.

First it was a Browning HP.
Is now at home
Then it was a Dan Wesson .357 magnum interchangeable barrels set.
Is now at home.
Then a HK USP.
Home.
German Sig P226
Guess where it is...
Next Luger P08 original.
Done
Ruger .357 service six.
Done.
Next will be a VP9

S&W Model 65 Lady Smith; even with the "Lady Smith" on the side it's still about the best carry revolver ever made in my opinion. There are a couple of others I'd pick up if I found them for a reasonable price.

Yes. Great choice, sandbox.

I still believe that S&W made a big mistake (along with Colt) when they got away from the basic all steel, 38Spl. only, revolver.
Not sayin' that other designs shouldn't be offered, but to DELETE the basic steel .38spl altogether?......mistake.
