Not trying to be snarky or come off as a jerk; but what you consider a unicorn (because of condition??) most collectors would consider a very pretty but incorrect attempt at a restoration! I can't see them well, but the bolt stop, safety lever and trigger should be fire blued not rust blued and none of these pistols were ever "hot dip blued" from the factory.


I was going to mention the same thing. That gun has been heavily buffed/polished before a re-blue. Still beautiful, just not correct.

Actually about 900, there is a thread on them over on the FAL Files. The import ban cut them off, not really demand, admittedly they were not big sellers.

Huh, I would have thought the Billennium was the rarest, but I never got into looking into the production numbers. I have a 96 Combat..fell into it at a deal of a price.

Believe it or not the most rare gun I own is probably a Glock. The G22c with gills is reported to have only been around 50 ever made.

No one really knows for sure but the biggest Glock website on the net only lists 10.

Certainly not everyone with one is on that website but it's a low number either way.

I really like the S&W Performance Center 5906s.
I've got the PPC model I posted earlier, 4" and 5" IDPA models and this - a fairly rare 6" 9mm Target Champion model:

That's too cool!

Not much of a HUGE unicorn, but I own two of the E29R-40-MIL-TG model P229s. One is still unfired and the other is my nightstand gun.

I also have a Remington Rand 1911 from the first year they switched to the A1 design... not currently with me though.

I would love to get my hands on some of the guns my dad collected while I was a kid. I lost his collection when he passed because I was still a minor.

It’s my unicorn, maybe not anyone else’s but I love my X5 Competition in 9mm.



Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you.
