I think I'm done with Semi-auto pistols,,,
Not that I don't like them or think they are bad guns,,,
It's because I believe I have all of my desires filled in that category.
I have a fantastic Wonder-9 in a CZ-75B along with it's Kadet counterpart,,,
Since in my not-so-humble-opinion it is the epitome of it's class,,,
I see no need to buy anything else of it's kind.
I have a pair of stainless 5.5" Ruger slab-side 22/45 Mk-III pistols,,,
These are the guns for when I take a friend out plinking,,,
I've never fired a rimfire semi I liked better than these,,,
So I see no need to duplicate their functionality.
I did go crazy one summer and put together a set of Beretta NEOS guns,,,
I have one 6" model with an inexpensive holographic optic,,,
Then a second 4" model with an identical optic,,,
Then a third mounted on the Carbine kit,,,
That one has a decent red dot optic.
I don't shoot them at all on solo trips to the range,,,
But when I take a few young newbies plinking,,,
This a fun set to have for them to shoot.
I have a pair of nickel Bersa Thunder pistols in .380 and .22 LR,,,
I bought them because they were pretty and inexpensive,,,
They are the knock-around pistols I let newbies use,,,
They function well and serve that niche purpose.
I have a pair of Taurus "mouse-gun" pistols,,,
They are the 25-PLY and the 22-PLY,,,
What can I say, they are so cute,,,
And a real blast to shoot.
I have a pair of Beretta Cheetah's that I absolutely love,,,
One is a Model 85BB in .380 and the other is a Model 87 in .22 LR,,,
I purchased these guns because I love everything about their functionality,,,
They fit in my hand as if Mr. Beretta made a mold of my hands and I shoot them well.
The Model 85 has become my everyday carry gun,,,
It lives permanently in the concealed holster of my messenger bag,,,
The Model 87 lives in a nice padded hard-case I keep in the trunk of my car,,,
I also carry 100 rounds of FMJ .380 and 500 rounds of Mini-Mags for after work range trips.
I picked and chose carefully over the last few years,,,
I surf all of the gun auctions quite regularly,,,
I just don't see any that catch my eye.
There is still space for more revolvers in my cabinet though,,,
My wish list for those handguns is approaching two typed pages,,,
I'm currently bidding on a Hawes, J. P. Sauer & Sons western .22 shooter,,,
I already have the same revolver but in .357 Magnum so this would make a great boxed pair.
I've got about 4 1/2 years until I retire,,,
I can envision many more wheel guns coming my way,,,
But as far as semi-autos go I think I've filled my needs very nicely.
