I don't believe I have one. Ones that have arrived more recently over the years were ones that I wanted when I was a kid. This was top of my list as I thought it looked right way back then (I'm soon 62). Another. Yet another.

I had the chance to buy one once for 300$ and passed on it. The guy was a shaky character that approached me at a public range, I thought there was a chance it was stolen so passed on it. Often think about that gun.

Colt Diamondback 22. The first pistol my dad let me shoot. At 8 or 9 years old i was able to bounce a toilet bowl float across the gravel pit floor with it.

Always wanted a 500 Linebaugh revolver. Already own one in 500 JRH so the Linebaugh would be overkill. Can pick up a new BFR for about $1400 so it is not unobtainable. But then I need brass and .512 diameter bullets plus new dies. One of these days.......
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Got the Python.
For a long time it was a 625 (45 Colt) Mountain Gun.
Now, I can't see me using one. Sadly, I'd rather have a G21. More useful for me.

Got my Anaconda last year for my birthday. Always wanted one; glad I waited for version two. Got a new Python a couple months ago. Had one stolen in the mid seventies. don't know why it took me so long to replace it. Would love to own a Sig 210 Target.

If I see the right .38-44 Heavy Duty it will come home with me. Criteria: 4 or 5 inch barrel; all original; not reamed out to .357 mag; excellent condition (used but not abused and tight); not collector-grade excellent condition, just a good, solid, not beat up gun. Nickel or blue, doesn't matter.
I'd like to have a Les Baer 1911, also. At 75 I am not going to order one, given the length of wait required. Besides I'm just not into 1911's like I used to be.
I don't want either of the above badly enough to make a big effort to find them. I've got more than enough guns that I hardly ever use, and I'm not into buying them just to look at. I've learned that, if I just want guns to look at, I can go down to the lgs during their slow hours. They have a wonderful, ever evolving selection in the consignment case or on the rack. I can look at them, fondle them, talk about them and pass some time. Once in a while I buy one. This way I have a great collection to play with without all the hassle of owning them.

Nothing excites me handgun wise. Grew up shooting decent stuff so no itch to scratch.

Crossed off the main one I had on my bucket list for about 35 years back in June…a nickel plated .45 Colt Schofield. Then in August I snagged up another one that was close to bucket list material for me…a stainless Ruger Blackhawk convertible in 10mm and .40 S&W. Can’t really say I have any other handguns that found their way on my bucket list.
Livin ain’t killed me yet, but it’s workin on it!

the 40 Super is hot but they should've used the full length of the 45 Win Mag case and built a new pistol for it instead of shortening the case to fit the reg pistol, I get why they went that route, $$$ makes decisions unfortunately ..., The 10mm Magnum in a beefed up Glock 40 would be most awesome ! Can you imagine a 15 round stack of 200 gr hardcast bullets at 1650 fps/1150 ft lbs energy ? The new era of Alaskan hunters would have several organisms !!!

Two left on my "bucket list": a "shooter" 9 mm Luger and a S&W M-57 .41 Mag. Not desperate for either one, but would like to have them. The Luger just because they are cool and would complement my P-38 and the .41 because it should have been popular, but never really made it.
