Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns a discontinued handgun you wish you could still buy

With a few exceptions, most of what is desired here is just a few clicks away. And if you adjust for inflation, current prices are in many cases, comparable.

Oh an original Glock 19 Gen 2.

Ruger three screw revolvers.

It would be easier to list what I woukd not buy...

One stand out would be a truckload of the origional Dan Wesson pistol packs. In all the calibers. Toss in a few extra 15 inch barrel/shroud combos.

used to have a huge list, but now, nothing.

I used to have 2. 40 years ago. I found my hand written list a couple days before this came up. I thought it said 4,5 inch .. as in two different guns, but maybe one was a 4.5 and the other with a longer barrel was not on the list. Could be .. that list was only partial suggesting I made it listing whatever I had left after some of the selling had happened. Bunch of stuff I wish I had now but I did what my father told me to do and sold them.

Sooooo many.....

For me, it's not the old Colts etc. I don't have that kind of budget.
But I'd like to see the 5" regular old Redhawk in 45 Colt, stainless. And the Ruger three screws, blue not black.

A Thompson sub-machine gun ala 1920's Chicago hardware stores. Snag a Colt Monitor while I'm in there

Like an idiot, I sold a SS 2.75" Security Six. I want it back!
Coonan 357
Parts support for an LAR Grizzly 45 Win Mag
Dan Wesson 414 Super mag
Rem 788s

A standard blue Redhawk in 45 Colt, either 4 or 5 1/2 inch, would make me reach for my wallet. So would a 4 inch blue, short lug GP-100 with fixed sights, this time in 40/10mm. Like many here, a no-lock S&W revolver is near the top of my list. Make mine a 22-4 Model 1950 with a 4" barrel.

I missed the boat on:

Colt Diamondback .22LR
Colt Anaconda .44mag

The boat has come back around on the S&W 610, so I will buy one of the new ones in the next few years.

Has to be the S&W M337 PD pre-lock only manufactured in 1998 and 1999 and the lock version for just two more years. The 337 PD is the lightest .38 Special +P that S&W ever manufactured, or probably any others manufactured at only 9 ounces. I didn't know that I needed one until I went to a gun show in Florida and handled a Scandium frame S&W 360. That one is a current .357 Magnum and since I knew I'd only shoot .38 Specials, I went looking for a pre-lock lighter weight .38 Special version and that is the 337 PD. Lots of you guys like the Airweight J frames like the 442, 642 or the 637. I just shoot better single action with an exposed hammer J-frame and my M60 was just too chunky at 20 ounces for every day carry. A gun shop in Georgia had the 337 PD that I was looking for and the M60 went up for sale.

340 Mag: Interesting question.
I would buy a couple more Smith & Wesson Model 651's (J-Frame stainless 4" revolvers in 22 Magnum) and a couple more Smith & Wesson Model 647's (K-Frame stainless 8 3/8" revolvers in 17 HMR)!

Yes, absolutely!

USFA...although one can still find them a little over what was retail.

Most any S&W made before 2001.

Any 1006's I run into these days are usually beat to crap.

I have seen several 610's for sale recently.

Browning Hi Power. T-Series possibly, if I could get one at a decent price.

Smith 24 and 57 four inch models.
