The most sought after pistol for me…
My recent P7 thread aside. My most sought after pistol is a Dan Wesson CBOB in 10mm. I’ve owned two. And regrettably sold em.

I can’t find another to save my life. So now I’m on the hunt, which is pretty cool. Often the chase is better than the find!

I hate are you after at the moment?

I’m mostly in sell mode, but I’ve long been on the lookout for a P226 SL (German-made, all-stainless, no accessory rail, no beavertail). There are more in the US than just the Afton Arms ones, but they’re still tough to find.

I always wanted a Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special Comanche (Commander size) in hard chrome.
Never had the money for one when it was in production; when I could afford one, they were gone.

I have a Dan Wesson CBOB 10mm, by the way. Great pistol.

I sold a 10mm S.A. TRP a few years ago, nothing exotic but kinda hard to replace. It was a stupid move.. I miss that piece

I almost bought one of those back when they came out. Beautiful pistols.

It would probably be a safe queen for me that rarely got shot.

A P7 would be really cool too.

For me it was the Dan Wesson VBOB in 10mm. Fortunately for me they ran a special run of them in 2023 (small run) and I managed to get one. It seems to me that a commander sized 1911 in 10mm is pretty close to a do all pistol. Although, a .45 ACP version may be even better especially considering some of the ammunition available today....Buffalo Bore and Underwood offerings for example. It could cover everything from normal home defense, to EDC, to big predator protection. Plus, you then have the option of putting a .22 conversion kit on it. It will do all of that and look good doing it.

I would say a Wilson Combat SFX9 (or maybe an SFT9) is the only firearm that I do not already have that I really would like to add to my collection.

I want the Dan Wesson Pointman. My wife won’t let me buy it as she wants to give it to me for my retirement…..in 7 years.
The other gun I have always wanted is the HK USP 45.I just love both of them.
Those are my last must have guns.i have everything else I would want.

Check out the DW Custom Shop. They used to build to requirements back a few years ago. I had VBOBs in both .45acp and 10mm built and both are superb. They might put together a CBOB in 10mm for you.

Years ago, I browsed the local Gander and they had a Ed Brown Covert carry for $900. I jumped on it.

Had it for a bit and shot it. Ended up selling it.

Frankly, I didn't think it was all that much better than a Dan Wesson Pointman that I have.

I always wanted a S&W 3904, don’t know why
