What's missing from my collection?

I just recently purchased my seventh handgun and am wondering what I should get next. I'll leave brand names out of the descriptions so this doesn't devolve into a "Sig vs Glock" or "S&W vs Colt" thread.

I've currently got:
1) .45cal SA 1911-style semi-auto pistol-8rnd mag.
2) .40cal DA/SA full size semi-auto pistol-10rnd mag.
3) 9mm DA/SA full size semi-auto pistol-15rnd mag.
4) 9mm DA/SA compact semi-auto pitsol-17rnd mag.
5) .357cal DA/SA K-frame revolver
6) .380 DA/SA compact semi-auto pistol-6rnd mag.
7) .22LR DA/SA J-frame revolver

Where should I go next? What's the caliber that I ought to have and don't? I think I've got all of the basics covered, but what great uncharted territory of handgun heaven am I missing today?

I'm pretty certain that my concealed carry needs have been met (and then some), what I want to know is the next essential piece I ought to have...

Thanks in advance for the input!

What about a big bore revolver?

41 Mag, 44 Mag, 44 Special, 454 Casull or perhaps a .475 Linbeaugh.

No,
Well how about a 10mm revolver or semi-auto?

just a few possibilities :D

As you seem to like semi-autos maybe something along the lines of a .357Sig, 10mm or .45 Super. Also don't see a .22lr semi-auto pistol, they are a ton of fun and can be very accurate.
 
Gremlin there is no Cowboy gun in your collection. This is a very serious matter that needs immediate attention if not sooner. You must porceed without delay to your nearest firearms emporium and aquire a good single action thumb buster! :D

ruger super blackhawk in .44 or .45 colt
should fit the bill and they are not too hard on the wallet either
course a new 1911 wouldn`t hurt either!
 
22 pistol. A Ruger Mark II would be a nice addition. Not expensive and a sturdy plinker.

I don't know what your needs are. If I were faced with this dilema I would look at either a semi-auto .22 or a .45 long Colt.
 
Greetings! How about a .32, .25, and 38?

I envy you guys, here in the Philippines with the restriction imposed by our National Police you are only limited to two firearms. One long and one short (9mm and .22 or shotgun respectively).

Of course you could own more than that but you have to be a gun club member and the firearms beyond the restriction could be lisenced under your club's name. But who would want to buy a firearm not under his/her name?

How about another JMB gun? An SA Browning High Power in 9mm, or .40 S&W.

Dang, so many handguns, so little time (& money). Seems like you have a pretty good start, though a little light on wheel guns.

I took a little different approach to building my collection, sort of like a wine tasting. I went verticle with one maker, i.e. different calibers from the same mfr., but with my .45s, I went horzontal, i.e. same caliber from different mfrs. I do have a few mutts that don't fit the formula, just because they're interesting. Oh, well . . . who needs an excuse anyway?

Ya need long guns, and revolvers....

Ruger Super Blackhawk

Freedom Arms .454 Casull

S&W 686

These would be a good start...
