World War II-era firearms. All models of historic significance.

1911s. The high-end stuff (Burton, Yost, etc.).

Sig Sauer Germany Custom P-Series.

Smith & Wesson revolvers from every era & all Third Generation semi-autos.

In my fantasy world where I have a big mansion with a gun room... Lots of military service rifles, FNC, AR 180, SIG's HK's, Galil, Valmet, etc..
HK P-7 M8 and M13, French MR73, etc..

Waiting for that PDP Pro to come out, also miss my 229 9mm, the one that got away. . .ouch

A BAR, definitely. Wouldn’t mind having the M60 back again, that was fun.
Love the Browning 1919.
High end 1911s.
And a M2 Browning.
Of course, as long as I could also get all the ammo needed to feed them.
And whatever else struck my fancy to get.

Original P210 and variants

Some HK…MP5, UMP/45, USP

Thompson, M1 carbine

1911s

I'd Been wanting a Sig 226 x5 stainless forever. And some how I forgot about it until a short time back. Now the gun I'm interested in has jumped to about $4.000 at that price I'm out. I kick myself every time I remember when I could have purchased it for $2000 but it is what it is though.

Several Kentucky type Pennsylvania flint locks built by gunsmith Jacob Dickert.

English “Best Guns” Purdey’s, Holland & Holland etc.

Martial shotguns and revolvers, and any and all top-break revolvers I could lay my hands on.

Oh, and some tanks.

S&W Performance Center guns. The REAL Performance Center pistols, made from 1991 to 2001. Not the current crap made on an assembly line by piece work animals, being pushed out the door wearing the once famous logo.

I'm talking 845s, 945s, PPC9, PC 5906, 952s ect. I have a few, but would like more. Regards 18DAI

I would be interested in colt revolvers. Always loved SAA and snubbie pythons. Lugers and 1911 with historical significance.

What would you collect

I would start with lever action rifles that I can shoot without gulit, then collector quality, then “story” rifles. It is my understanding that many of the Winchester rifles in The Alamo collection were donated by the grandmother of a classmate whose family business was instrulental in the opening of the West.

Old school SW & Colt Revolvers, Winchester rifles, and HK MP-5's

Remington XP100 in .221 fireball

And all the reloading components

Anything made by Sommer and Ockenfuss.

I’m an admitted SIG guy, so if money were no object I’d work to get an example of every SIG offering. Maybe from the P210 on.

At that point I’d be getting a P6, and already have a P7, so I’d have to get the P5 to round them out.

Speaking of the P7, I’d have to get a P7M8 (or 13, or both).

Other collections I have started I’d need to finish. I have a No4 Mk1* and a Garand, so I’d have to get a Mosin, Arisaka, and Mauser. Then I’d feel weird that the only semi auto was the US, so I’d have to get an SVT and a G43. But then what about a bolty from the US, so a 1903. Should we compare with a Carcano too? Of course. At this point I may as well go all Johnson and M1 Carbine and STG. Then it’s balancing with a PPSh. And now I’ve opened up Pandora’s box of sub guns, so a MP40 and Sten and grease gun. What’s the Japanese one? Type 100 or something? Oh man what a rabbit hole.

I’ve also got a “modern striker fired” collection started. VP9, PPQ, P320, 509. So I’d have to get an M&P, CZ, Beretta, Steyr, Ruger, even *shudder* a Glock and *double shudder* SAI.

Also, I’ve been wanting to get a SAA and matching lever gun, both in .44-40. That could kick off a whole thing going back in time.

So not much really.

HK MP5, P7M8, high end 1911’s

Barrett M82 for the rifle category

SIG X6 stainless for the handgun category

2 1/2 inch Pythons and Diamondbacks. Any Model 70 owned by Jack O'Connor.

That and a variety of full auto happiness would be just fine.

Well, plenty of freedom seeds too.
