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.

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.

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. Tom

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 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.
My other auto is a .45

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)! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

USFA...although one can still find them a little over what was retail.
Most any S&W made before 2001.

do you own or wish you could find a discontinued handgun you wish you could still buy? most of us just regret the fact we don,t have an unlimited budget for toys, I know I passed on a good many deals back in the past. I now regret as the prices have escalated to comparatively exorbitant levels now. [ Linked Image] if I could buy one new, at a good price , Id buy a couple 1006 S&W 10 mm [ Linked Image] if I could buy one new, at a good price , Id buy couple a 10" mod 29 S&W [ Linked Image] if I could buy one new, at a good price , Id buy a couple h&k p7 pistols [ Linked Image] if I could buy one new, at a good price , Id buy a couple sig 210 pistols whats on your , I missed the boat at a decent price wish list?Any 1006's I run into these days are usually beat to crap.

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