A tube fed, bolt action .22 with some good glass would do it for me.

No quality woman like that will take you seriously unless...
you ALREADY HAVE an 1911. Just sayin.

If you're really lucky she will have her own 1911 and will let you shoot it.

Get a flintlock Kentucky longrifle, you know you always wanted one. You will have a chance to relearn shooting all over again. It is a lot less expensive to shoot, especially if you cast your own ball. Blackpowder only, substitutes won't work.

Buck67...You may have just rekindled my desire to get back into muzzle loading. Been a long time.

A guy can dream...

I don't know what gun it is that will complete me. I haven't held it in my hands yet and heard it whisper to me to take it home. That's usually how I buy guns. I don't know that I need or want them until I hold them in my hands. My Sig was definitely one of those deals. I wasn't looking for a Sig or a 1911 but once I held it, nothing else could compare to it. I had to go back the next day and buy it so that the restlessness inside me would stop.

Sometimes it's the right gun at the right price and I buy it on the spot. Other times I hold the gun, bond with it but then turn it over and see the price and think "I like you but not for that much money." When I find you for X price you will be mine. Then the hunt and the game begins. The hunt is half the fun. It is almost a disappointment once the gun has been purchased and the hunt is over. Of course then the need for accessories helps to make up for that feeling.

You should buy a Mark 23...then let me shoot it so I can decide if I want one without having to buy it.

Ruger SR1911.

I never before in my life had this much trouble trying to get someone to take my money.
I have cash. Not plastic, dead presidents. And I still can't even find one to save my bacon.
I would OVERPAY for a Ruger SR1911. I would pay the full MSRP of $829. I do not CARE.
I WANT this pistol. I want it more than I want my next bacon sandwich.

But there's still not one sitting in my holster.

Ruger Handguns - kygunco.com Here.. now buy one and put up some pics.

I think, subconsciously, I already know what the next gun is. I just don't let myself in on the secret. Got any pics of your EDC?

N frame Smith and Wesson in .357 magnum
Shiloh Sharps in 45 70
Smith and Wesson K 22 or Model 17 (pinned ofcourse) in .22 long rifle


At some point we have all of the "Zombie Killers", "SHTF", and "OMG I am going to get jumped by a gang of Ninja's the next time I go to Wal Mart"" guns we feel we need. Then the time comes for reflection and laid back enjoyment of something expensive, beautiful, and with just a touch of class. These three will provide that satisfaction...IMHO ofcourse lest my comments be construed as religous or "testy" in nature....

Here's my current EDC set up. It's a Ruger SP101 357 Magnum. I carry it in a leather Galco holster on a basic leather gun belt. I carry OWB since it is the most comfortable way for me to carry.



Here's my Ruger LCP which I will eventually carry once I find the perfect OWB carry holster for it.



Both guns demonstrate for me how important the accessories are in making a gun my very own. Shopping for the accessories is almost as much fun as shopping for the actual gun.

An FAL. Pistols are never enough. You need a substantial piece of hardware to satisfy your jones, and an FAL is just the ticket.

Something custom with 'Ackley Improved' behind the numbers on the barrel. I've always liked bullets in the 6-7mm range, and it would be a hard call between a 6mm AI and a 280 AI (with notable mention for a 260 AI). I think for really reaching out there, the 280 would be best. Plus, the 280 would be plenty for elk, though I'd have to do a bit more studying on bullets available before I'd take it on a not-black bear or moose.

I'm a big fan of your .357, not so much for the LCP. To each their own.

But the LCP is pretty. I bought it on a whim. It was a really good deal. The more I handled it and modified it the more I grew to like it.

To each their own...I would probably want an M1 Garand!
