When I was a kid my dad had a Smith and Wesson model 27 357 magnum with the 8 3/8" barrel. I don't remember if it had a dash, I just know I thought it was the coolest handgun ever. He traded it in about 1982. Don't remember what he traded it for. I now have a 27-2 with the 8 3/8" barrel that I picked up at an auction 2 years ago.. Not his, but it looks identical. He also had a model 53 22 jet with the 8 3/8" barrel. I would love to have one, but I just can't see myself ponying up that kind of money for a revolver. What guns have you guys listed after since you were a kid and now own, or don't own?

If it looks good, you'll see it
If it sounds good, you'll hear it
If it's marketed right, you'll buy it
But...If it's real, you'll feel it

A real pre-'64 Winchester 70 carbine in 257 Roberts circa 1970.
Bearrr264 bought it.
I got it from him in 2003.

A Ruger 10-22. I was given a Marlin M60 for Christmas when I was eight instead. It was a fine rifle. I am now sixty. I now own two older 10-22's and I donated the M60 to a Boy Scouts bunch when I lived in Houston many years ago.

A Python.
Bought one for myself for Christmas the first year I drove truck.
A Finnwolf like Dad's. Got one.
A 257 Wby. Only available in Mark V then. Wanted the normal one.
Not interested anymore. Would build a wildcat now first.
Fast twist too.

Uzis always looked cool growing up, still don’t have one
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

The first gun that I really wanted as a kid was a Remington 66. My first 22 was a Ruger 10/22 which was the more practical rifle but as a young kid in the 1980’s I thought that the Remington 66 was the coolest looking rifle and I daydreamed about all of the critters that I’d hunt with it.
The other gun that I remember really wanting was a Ruger Red Label 28 gauge shotgun for grouse hunting.
I have both today. I still haven’t got around to shooting the 66 but scooped it up when I saw one in nice condition awhile back. I bird hunt quite a bit with the Ruger and will will eventually give it to my daughter to hunt with.

Llama 22 pistol (mini-1911) in the Shooter's Bible in the 1950's. Still have never seen one.
And the rifle that appeared identical to the current CZ 527. I've got two of the CZ's now.

I drooled over my farmer uncle's Marlin model 39 century limited. He let me shoot it for rabbit control on the farm and I couldn't seem to miss. I still don't have one due to the insane price they command now. I also loved the ruger 10-22 and do have one of those.
Wake up to this!

As a kid, a Belgium Browning takedown 22 auto. Have had two since then, traded away .
When I was in my early 20’s, I bought a Winchester model 54 carbine in 30-06, a guy talked me out of it a few years after I bought it . Always regretted getting rid of it , but lucked into another just a few years ago !

I’ve wanted an MP-40 ever since I saw the “Big Red One” with Lee Marvin as a kid. I still don’t have one.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Remington Nylon 66. Probably because they were different, back in the day, as I drooled over one in the local hardware store.
In my old age, prefer pretty wood and blued barrel's.

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...
