In 2018 I'm getting SOMETHING...Just don't have a clue what that something will be.
There are a couple of pistols I'm intrigued with, but they're basically brand new to the market, and I'll let those stew a bit before I buy. But I test drove a Beretta APX and there were things about it I really liked (ergonomics were amazing). I also took a CZ P-10 for a whirl, and it is an outstanding pistol as well; much to like there. But both are just too new to the marketplace for my tastes...I'll let others do the beta testing for me. I have the worst luck to begin with, no need to tempt fate by buying something un-proven.
I'm feeling the revolver calling this year though. I kinda want a target .32, but those are really hard to find these days. Maybe I'll settle on a target .38, something old school and cool like a Colt Officers Model Match, New Service Target, Service Master...something along those lines.
So what do you have in mind?

Probably gonna grab a SIG P365 when they start appearing.
In the mean time I've got a couple of revolvers that are and have been on the bucket list - S&W 17, S&W 18, S&W 57, and a H&R 999 to name a few, that I'll continue to peruse gun shops and gun shows for the 'right one.'
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

I’ve been thinking of picking up a Beretta 92, just because.

I need a 9mm of some flavor. The SIG p365 sounds right.

I am often tempted by the Atlas Titan but I would feel the imposter shooting it...

I thinking on a setup for running. I've tried a number of combinations and all have room for improvement. Plan A is a belly band and a compact pistol that I can rinse off in the kitchen sink and stash on top of the refrigerator. I had narrowed the pistol down to a Shield or M&P 2.0 Compact, with the deciding factor being capacity, until the Sig P365 entered the picture. I've ordered and returned two belly bands and I'm no closer than when I started.

I have a Ruger Bisley 44 Mag in the pipeline from Davidson's. 7.5", blued model
I see it getting mostly midrange cast loads for target shooting near and far.

Just bought a Gen5 Glock 19. That ought to hold me for a bit.

Already traded into two K frames, a kinda ratty 15dash3 and really nice 17dash4. Who knows what's next. Always wanted a CZ75.

I'm thinking seriously about replacing my first generation LCP with the new type that has one'nem Glock triggers on it.

Already have a Dan Wesson Guardian in .38 Super on the way. I plan on buying a Ruger Stainless Blackhawk 10mm/.40 S&W convertible in a 4 5/8 inch barrel. I also have plans to send David Clements a Ruger Bearcat for him to convert to .327 Federal! I am not sure if I will do it this year or next but I will send Alan Harton a .357 Colt New Frontier for conversion to 10mm/.38-40 convertible plus his magic. I am thinking 5 1/2 inch barrel with Turnbull color case hardening

What I'm planning on buying doesn't exist yet. Might buy other things in the meantime, but the plan is that if and when S&W brings out the M&P 2.0 in 10mm, I will be on that as quick as I can get one in my hands.

If the P365 feels right they will sell truckloads of them. Put me in that column.

No current plan to buy any handguns this year. I need to thin the herd and shoot what I have.

If Colt ever answers the phone I might be in business.
