Desert Industries had a couple of .22 and .25 pistols that I thought looked interesting. I never had a chance to handle one, so I don't know what the quality of them were.

I've got a couple in the safe.
I've got a soft spot for the Star pistols, so I have a few of them. There's nothing in the picture for scale, but the Megastar is a big handgun. This one's a 10MM. 
Although the 1911 purists hate them, I like my Double Eagle MKII. Seen here with another gun the purists hate, an early Para LDA. 
Just for grins, here's another one from the late 80's.

It isn't a cross from either. It is simply a Beretta 84 with a closed slide instead of the classic open slide design that Beretta has done since the Model 1951 1917. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I have a colt 2000. It came with a sweet super-soaker trigger. That way you have 2 weeks of trigger pull to be sure if you really want to shoot what your aiming at.

Man... this is weird... almost none of the guns being discussed in this thread really do anything for me.
I like a wide variety of stuff. You want to talk single action revolvers, striker fired pistols, milsurps, lever actions, EBRs, belt-feds, pistol caliber carbines, whatever, and I"m there. I find almost no appeal to the guns in here.

That Model 28 is a nice looking pistol. I love the aesthetics of the P88. I am guessing cost was the issue there. Those things were $1000 in the 90's and never widely available.

Supposedly, S&W wants those back in the world's worst manner due to the slide coming back at the shooter at speed. Interwebz rumor is that they will gladly exchange that for another pistol of choice just to get them into the shredder. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The NAA was pretty close to the same quality but at 1/2 (sometimes better) the price of the Seacamp. I got to finger bang a Seacamp once. After all the hype, I wasn't that impressed.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Speaking of Steyr pistols, the M series never rally seemed to take off. http://www.cybershooters.org/dgca/SteyrM9/gun.JPG I've only gotten a little trigger time with one, but it was pretty decent. I liked the unique sights, and recoil was pretty soft. I really liked everything about those and would have bought one, except one thing: The top-back of the grip right below the recess dug right into the meat of my thumb. Very uncomfortable. I guess it was designed for a different hand size. |

Then everyone had to have one, only to find out it had been discontinued in the 1970's. I'm really surprised no one said the S&W Model 29, better known as THE GUN THAT CAPTURED THE MINDS OF THE MINDLESS!!! |

There was a Forty Nine that sat in my LGS for years. I almost talked myself into it once or twice, but the trigger made the P250 seem like target grade butter. They finally marked it down low enough that some poor bastard took it home. |

Had I not been a broke PV2 with a pain-in-the-ass wife and an infant, I'd have bought it instantly. My choice for a gun of that era which never got popular, though it rightfully should have, would be the Astra A-70.

I'm surprised no-one ran with that. According to the wikipedia page it's a combination of a 1911 and a Glock and is actually compatible with the Glock slide, bbl, and RSA. Someone needs to revisit this concept and do it right. |
