I just ordered 3 Kahr's two k98 elites and a mk98 elite. I just have to space the pick ups about 6 days apart though to avoit the extra form.

I just purchased an HK USP45 (have a few more days to wait) and soon I plan to purchase a Springfield Trophy Match.

I would also like a HK USP40 in stainless.
The problem is that they discontinued the full size stainless due to poor sales. What I plan to do is get one in the standard HE finish and have it NP3'd by Robar.

Heck, I won't know that until the next gun show.

I rarely get the hots for a particular gun any more. I have instead replaced this system with a long "wanted list" of guns I'd buy if I came across them at a good price.

Some top entries on this list: CZ 75, Ruger MkII Target, another SIG (maybe a P220 or P229), S&W .45 revolver (625? I forget), and a Rock Island 1911. Though I was eyeing a Uberti SAA target pistol in .45 Colt for $250 at my local gun pimp. Now I just look for deals. I have bought many guns I wasn't necessarily looking for just because I got a good deal on them, and these often turn out to be my favorites (Ruger Bisley-Vaquero, SIG P225, Kahr K40).

Maybe I set my expectations too high when I want a particular gun that I can't help but be disappointed when I finally get it.

I've always wanted a Broomhandle Mauser (a C96?), but I don't really have the time right now to read up on them and search one out. There are several "standards" that I want to pick up first. I still don't own a .22 pistol (either a Ruger or that new Walther, but I haven't seen one of those on the shelf yet). I would like a S & W Mountain Gun, but I can't decide on the caliber. I'm wrestling with the thought some kind of "hold out" gun smaller than a J frame. I also would like one of the factory camouflaged Colt Anacondas.

But instead of buying more guns, I'm trying to focus on shooting the ones I have more and trying to get better with them.

Ever hear of an impulse gun? They are everywhere but you have to look a long time to find one, if ya know what I mean.

Got to be a 1911 to add into my collection.

I had my eyes on a Wilson Combat CQB Compact (green).

SIG P220.

I may have to take a look at a Glock. I've got the 1911, and the 92FS, so I've got the biggest sides of the great caliber debate represented. Now I may have to see what all the fuss about the Glock is about...

Just ordered a Sig P220

I've been thinking about getting a Sig 220 for awhile how. One of these days I may actually go out and buy it.

I just picked up a fairly new S&W Model 10 last night. I think it's destined to become my kit gun. Next will be something in .44 special or .41 mag, I'd love to get my hands ona .41 mag Mountain Gun.

My favorite carry handgun is the Glock 36, .45acp. But my wife, being a wheelgun/revolver girl, carries the S&W 342pd, AirLight .38 +P Special. It's hot as heck down in South Carolina during the summer (as it is in the Spring & Fall!), so I have been thinking of getting a little titanium revolver like hers.

It is smaller and lighter and easier to conceal. Hurts like hell to shoot, but will probably stop the BG when loaded with the Federal Hydro-Shok ammo. But it's expensive. I haven't decided, but that might be me next handgun purchase.

Just got the Buckmark Camper, so next will probably be a Ruger GP100, A used S&W 29 or Anaconda, HK USP.45, or maybe a Walther P99. That should do it for all the pistols I will acquire before I move out of this god forsaken state.

I can't decide, either a .375 Snub or SA Ultra Compact 1911. I've got that age old problem of needing a good carry gun, although I have about ten good carry guns. Oh well.

I hope the wife gets me a SIG 229 for my birthday next month.
