So, Your Buddy Just Won The Lottery...

[Bully 749]

(***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?

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.

Good friend,  A good talk with him on investing his money so he can live off the interest would be a great gift to him also..

[millsan1 3]

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.

[n4p226r 105]

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

[Bully 749]

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.

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.

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

Lmao! I thought about saying that but hopefully I will have one before any of my friends win the lottery.

A thread with a bunch of straw purchases, nice.

[Polak 3]

Glock18 new in Box

[DeerSlayer 241]

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?

[dman2112 6]

I would get Hitlers Luger he whacked himself with

You mean his Walther PP?

None of these gifts would be straw purchases if it was legal for you to own the gift.

 

The full auto stuff is a different story.

You know, you keep saying that like I'm going to feel insulted by it.  I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Oh stop, don't get butthurt.

 

You can't buy the Luger that Hitler offed himself with of he used a Walther.

[mipafox 438]

Probably a nice heirloom 1911 that's not too expensive to actually be fired. Just something to remember her by.

[BullzeyeNJ 104]

I would go rare, collectible, local, and nostalgic...A Paterson Colt revolver. Any one of the four variations would do.

A good friend would pay for you to move to a new residence in a free state so the two of you could shoot together
