Hi all. I am always on the look out. I got thinking what are the 10 handguns every enthusiast must have? I am think more workingman like guns and not necessarily high dollar collectables that everyone wants.

Here is my list. Some I have some I don't:
Ruger Single Six
S&W 19,66, 10 etc
Ruger GP100
Glock 19, 17
1911 45 ACP
S&W 617 and it's predecessors
Browning Buckmark or Ruger MKII
Snub nose .38
CZ 75
Beretta 92 FS etc etc etc..............have fun!

In no particular order:

HK USP 45
S&W K-22/M-17/617
A 1911...doesn't matter which one as long as it is quality.
Sig P226
Glock 19
Beretta 92
Colt Python
Ruger Blackhawk
A handgun with a silencer
A handgun with a colored frame
 
In no particular order, here are the 10 I consider to be must haves:

1911
S&W revolver of your choice
Beretta 92/M9
Glock 17/19
Sig P226/P229
Ruger Mark II/Buckmark
Taurus Raging Bull
CZ 75
Hi Power
LCP/snub nose revolver - anything small and easily concealed you prefer

So far, I have 5 from my list. Time to get shopping...
 
1911
P series Ruger
Browning Hi-Power
Mauser Broom handle
P38
Colt Single Action Army
P-08 Luger

I am sure I will come up with the other 3 at some point.
 
Interesting lists...

My list would include some of what you folks have listed, and not others.

Ruger Single Six
S&W 66
1911 45 ACP
S&W 17-6
Ruger MKI
Ruger Blackhawk
Colt Detective Special (actually the Agent alloy frame model)
Mauser Broom handle
P.38
P.08 Luger

I make that ten, right there...and I do own all of them, and more besides.
:D
 
My TOP TEN to own and shoot whenever I wanted to would be (not in any order):

-FN FiveSeven
-Walther PPK
-FN FNX-45 Tactical (dressed)
-Beretta 92FS Inox
-Wilson Combat 1911
-CZ 75
-Customized Glock
-Uzi (does that count?)
-original FNH (Browning) Hi-Power
-Ruger Blackhawk .357 Anniversary Edition (blk/blk)
 
I can't tell you what other people should have, but here's what I would want for my ten handguns (I have a few of these but not nearly enough):

1911 (in .45)
