It's probably just me. However, there are guns, good guns that just facinate me but which I resist buying when I look at reason. There are guns that facinate me and I've purchased them....more than once only to sell them later, yet they STILL facinate me. I find myself repeatedly considering buying one, or buying one AGAIN!

Right now for me it's the Jericho 941, just buy a CZ75B and be done with it. Another is the Beretta 92FS. I've had two, sold both, good gun, facinates me, seem to want one periodically but have solf two so why buy again?

How about you? Tell me I'm not the only one with this sickness.

Springfield EMP. Great, great pistol. Beautiful, accurate, feels great. Man, I love the way that pistol looks and feels. Both of 'em. Sold them both. Just not a 1911 guy. And that explains why I just bought an SA Operator Commander. Damn accurate. I hope to be able to keep this one!

I have two that plague me...

SIG 229

and the

Glock 26

I go through G26's like no other. I don't know why either. They shoot fine and go boom everytime, but I just never fall in love with them. I just sold off my 5th G26 last week. So let's see how long I go before buying another one

The 229 I love, I just have sold them in the past, when I should have kept them.

I have two and I thought it was just me. I am glad I am not alone in this.

I keep looking at the Browning/FN Hi Power. I think I would love the gun, but there is something that always holds me back from getting one.

The other is a Beretta 92FS. I had one and currently own the Beretta Storm, which takes 92 magazines. I feel like I should have a 92FS to go with the Storm, but I already have a P226.

Some day I will probably get the Beretta, but I think the Hi Power will always be the one I look at, but never get.

The only gun I regret trading is a S&W Scandium .357. I have been eyeballing those new lock-less 642s lately. Not quite the same gun but close enough.

for me it's the 1911. everybody should own at least one, but i've never brought myself to cough up the money necessary to get a nice one. if i had it my way, it would probably be a nighthawk or a springfield professional.

i'm shopping for my first 1911 now..

Sig P210.

Drool, drool, want bad. No justification, just want.

H&K P7

Interesting design, but not worth the current price (to me).

For me, it was the P99. It's a underrated gun that doesn't get brought up much, from what I heard. The reports have been positive, it has a unique action, and it was carried by James Bond (where's that "bought a gun cuz of a movie" thread). All my ranges never had one to rent, and no one I know had one to try. Thanks to Darkest2000, that niche has been filled. But, I don't shoot it much, and resides in the safe since there are other 9mm pistols I shoot better.

The other, is the Browning Hi-Power. Beautiful lines, great looks, single action, cocked and locked, all steel... what's not to love? The mag disconnect. Even with the mag disc. removed the trigger is heavy and gritty. Just like the P99 above, it will fill a niche only to reside in the safe overlooked by my better performers.

Lastly, I want a CAI P6. Oh so cheap, but I have no use for one. It's a great value, and possibly kick myself for not getting one, but I already have a P226 that doesn't get shot much anymore in favor towards the G34 and 1911 9mm.

Notice how they're all 9mm? My .45s have been successfully filled by 1911s.

Sig Pro in 9mm or .40. It was my first gun, sold it and still find myself fondling them on occasion. Probably one of the most underrated guns out there IMO, accurate as heck and feels great in the hand.

The 1911 also haunts me. I always want to save for a nice one and not a cheapo model. Then I end up buying something else first.

It has been S&W models 39 and 59 series. I have owned about eight different Smith autos of this type. I get sick of the trigger pull and blocky frame (on the 59) and trade or sell. Currently I have a blue 39 and a 5906 with about a dozen mags. I bought it for the trade-in price (205) when the dept. went to Sigs. Too good a deal to pass up, but I still don't really like them.

Ya know, I always wanted a 1911....wanted to get a decent one.....but i keep getting sidetracked with other guns.....go figure.
So today i went down to the shop and put a down payment on a Para Ordnance 1911 today......should be mine in a matter of weeks. Woot!

I've shot and liked but so far have resisted purchasing one for myself

HK P7/M8
S&W 945 Performance Center
SIGPro/2022 in .357 SIG


Bought and sold several times

SIG P228's and P220/P220ST's
BHP's
Various Glock .40's
Beretta 92's
S&W 686's
Colt Gov't Models (sold them for "semi-custom 1911s")

Springfield 1911 GI .45 acp, Beretta 92FS, Walther PP type pistols and the CZ 75 9mm type pistols.

I currenly have vowed to never sell my current Beretta 92FS but my Walther PPK/s and Springfield well...... they could be great trade fodder for the next best thing.

And the cycle goes on and on.

Mauser Broomhandle, even though they look clunky, they are probably the high watermark of old world design and function, and to exspensive for me to have one.

HK P30, heck anything HK. I can't bring myself to write a check for a gun that has a comma in the price.

An AR, I want one and every time I buy a gun I say "My next gun will be an AR" but I always find something else to blow my gun money on.

I don't really "resist" buying anything, but I have a couple I've wanted for years without getting them yet.

1. Henry Big Boy .44 mag rifle
2. Colt SAA in .45 Long Colt OR any SAA clone in .44 mag to match the rifle
3. A flintlock rifle

That's about all I want that I don't have.

I've never gotten rid of any firearm, so I don't have any of those repeats. I do own five .30-'06s (maybe six?), but they're all different.

I bought and sold the same P99 twice. Its a great pea shooter but I like my other 9s better.

I really want a 92FS but I fear it will meet the same fate as the P99 if it has to go against any of the Glock 9mm line.

1911 - it fits my WW2 collector mode but those early 40's models are not cheap

AK - fascinating but WHY buy when I have an AR ?

more Garands
- ok, I'm going to lose this battle....
