What's your jackpot handgun?

Being now, I just have $800+ instead of $900 after a bad night of keno.:rolleyes:

It was a little frivolous of a purchase, but damn it, I want/wanted one and now this peasant stock has another cool gun soon. 6 weeks to get the long slide though.:confused:

FYI, this is my first Glock, I'm proud of my wasting of money, but I don't regret it one bit.

I can't wait to get the dillon 9X25 set up.:eek:
 
I don't gamble, but if I had mad money around that wasn't needed elsewhere, I'd like an engraved Colt Single Action in 44 spl, or a tightly chambered 45 Colt. A modern Colt flat top target copy or New Frontier may be good, with the front sight swapped out for a copy of the Flat Top Target front sight. A little gold inlay work on the edges would be fine. It would get carried and used.

This'll make you ill, but one just like that - an engraved .44, 2nd Gen no less - sat around forever over at one of the lesser-known (to me) sites - egun I think - a few years ago BIN at a very reasonable price--I forget exactly what. I'm a huge .44 Sp and SAA fan myself, and ultimately satisfied that combo itch (see another thread) to delight--not engraved--but just couldn't see my way at the time regardless (within reason!) of how good a price. Never got the $ when you "need" it! Haven't seen same or similar combintion/deal since.

Back to the OP, I if a revolver, I guess I'd say a + 1 to someone else's already mentioned 1st Gen Colt SAA - make mine a very rare .44 Sp, or sky's the limit, what the heck - a cerified primo condition Cavalry or Artillery.
...Or if auto, I wouldn't spend the jingle I don't think (though I think I just "did" above on the 1st Gen SAA!) on a mega buck super custom, but more along the lines of "just" a new Ed Brown, in my case Special Forces Carry (bobtail commander, like someone else's Executive...). I like 'em relatively simple/unadorned and to me it doesn't get any better than that one. One of nicest autos--or guns, period, and I'm partial to revolvers--I've ever handled, regardless of price.

It would have to be a Paris Theodore ASP. Preferably a 1975 issue.

Jackpot handgun would be 1 of each in the LGS's show case's, plus whats hanging on the walls. I'm not greedy, I just the most toys.
 
I'm thinking I'd buy a Coonan .357 Mag "1911-ish" pistol. Whether it would be an old one or a new one...well, I guess that depends on what was available.

I'd put the money in my savings to add to my buy a hose fund.

Are you a fireman, or a gardener? :)
 
I would have to hit the lottery or whatever for more than $2500 to feel like I could reach out to buy another gun...but that's because I am still paying for the $3K I spent at an auction two months ago.

My wants are fairly routine. I want a 44 Mag Henry Big Boy, and a Stainless 44 mag 4" bbl, either an Alaskan or a Smith 629.

Next Jackpot gun "will" be something I could have bought new at one time before for around $1200 NIB, a Dan Wesson 44 super mag Alaskan.:eek:
 
It would be the last gun to finish my collection,,,

S&W Model 45 "Post Office" K-frame revolver,,,
Essentially it's a Model 10 chambered for the .22 LR Cartridge.

It's the only handgun missing from my private collection list.

I'd have a little custom work done to my Commander to make it a little more personal. $2,500.00 would be just about right for a custom carry package at a reputable smithy.
 
As much as I enjoy looking at $2500 guns, and despite the fact that I would almost certainly enjoy shooting them even more than I enjoy looking at them, I'm not sure I could ever bring myself to actually spend that much on a gun. Were I to hit a $2500 jackpot, I suspect that my purchases would look more like this:
1) A $1000 gun;
2) $500 in ammunition; and
3) $1000 in a reloading setup and supplies.

(Mind you, I do not have the foggiest idea on how much a reloading setup or supplies cost, so it might be $1000 of ammo, and $500 of reloading stuff.)

I know that this isn't nearly as exciting as some of the other stuff that's been posted, but I could do a lot of shooting with that. I would truly, truly hate to buy a $2500 gun and then discover that I couldn't afford to shoot it.
 
Let's see - probably a Smith and Wesson model 57 41 mag with a 6" barrel, pinned and recessed, deep blue and beautiful grips. Also with a like new presentation case with tools and paperwork included - Just like the one that I had and sold and regret it to this day! jben

Yeah, I'd have a hard time justifying buying a $2500 especially one I could not afford to shoot whenever I want to.

I put a long (More than a year) time thinking about buying this gun. In fact, I was going to buy it piece by piece little by little, but hey, now I don't have to do that. Although I won't see the finished product for 5-6 weeks, I'm very happy with my purchase's. I still have $800 on hand. Now, time to buy 10mm ammo.:D
 
a Desert Eagle mk xxi with all three bbls and magazines(357,44,50), and the 41 mag (forgot what mk it was), and all of the Auto Mags model 180s in all of the amp/jmp cals. but the jackpot wold have to be more than $2500.
