Bully 749 Posted December 26, 2014 (***Note*** Keep this to handguns only, please) So, your buddy just won the lottery. As a thank you for being a great friend, he has offered to buy you your dream handgun. He's also VERY well connected and has made it possible for you to obtain Class III/NFA stamped items, so the sky truly is the limit on this. He has not given you a budget, the money is there for you. What would you buy and why? Something timeless and collectible like a war bring back Luger or 1911? Something truly collectible like Jesse James' Colt? Something crazy/quirky like a Whitney Wolverine? Something SUPER MALL NINJA like a suppressed Glock 18? Why would you want THAT particular handgun?

Vlad G 345 Posted December 26, 2014 Whatever I can sell for most money once he moves to Idaho or Maui, or where ever he moves with his new found money, because spending ludicrous amounts of money on a handgun is foolish in my opinion. They are tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millsan1 3 Posted December 26, 2014 I would ask him to buy me a one of one limited edition Anthony M Beretta. I know where one is for sale for a measly $250K. It is in my safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted December 26, 2014 really expensive handguns don't totally appeal to me. at least nothing so astronomically priced i can't afford them myself. for me it would just be something like a wilson combat 9mm 1911 (hackathorn special maybe) or possibly something like a boresight solutions glock with a RMR milled slide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted December 26, 2014 No one said it has to be astronomical. I just needs to exist. I can (eventually)/afford pretty much anything I want. Not the point. C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhonda 86 Posted December 26, 2014 I'm not picky and I don't believe in safe queens, so my pick is a 2011 with iron sights in 9mm for the win! With a SP-01 from the custom shop a close 2nd. Plus if my buddy won the lottery I would still get to use his new toys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishnut 2,358 Posted December 26, 2014 John Dillinger's Full auto .38super 1911. I picked it because its collectable because of its history and its awesome because its full auto. Best of both worlds. And yes I would shoot it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeerSlayer 241 Posted December 27, 2014 Boberg XR9 with 20 extra magazines , because I've wanted one since the first time I read about them in handgunner. Just a cool little pocket pistol with some balls behind it. I would probably have it sent out for some custom engraving if money wasn't an option as well. Same situation for long guns and I could get class III NFA. It would be an AA12. Because, who doesn't want an AA12? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
