What is your Holy Grail of Handguns?

[filsonhand]

Pre lock smith & Wesson in the 625,629, and 686 variants....grrrr baby

 

[Phillyfan]

I want a German WWII Luger.

 

[Diamondback]

A "Gauge Gun"* version of a vertical-foregrip 1927A5 Thompson, with a full workover by PK at Diamond K for both reliability and accuracy, crafted of titanium, chambered and stressed to take full-power .45 Super/.450 SMC.
*Gauge Guns were a special tool built when Colt was supporting other manufacturer spinning up new lines for WWI: a complete 1911 parts set, each piece dimensionally perfect in every way, used to check tooling tolerances.

Glock 7 duh...........

 

[Certaindeaf]

It doesn't really matter in the final analysis. I think it's called "DVC" when it comes to what matters. and it's not a .45, my little injun

 

[Kshack90]

Would either have to be the 1851 navy colt or .44 magnum colt " Anaconda" I don't own any yet but I sure am a sucker for an old colt revolver.

 

[Dapapadon]

I want a German WWII Luger.

I think that would be mine also. Hope to run across a good deal on a shooter in 30 Luger or 9mm. But a WWII Nazi proof marked gun in good condition would be my dream gun.

 

[DynaMC]

For me it would be a Colt SAA original Sheriff's model- the bigger, the better

 

[revjen45]

Borchard.

 

[Bon Sauvage]

John Wilkes Booth's Deringer pistol.

 

[duane black]

S&W K frame 4" .357 magnum revolvers. The epitome of the combat revolver. If I could only own one handgun, it would be model 66.

 

[Nomad1911]

My second choice would probably be the Gabbett-Fairfax Mars : Gabbett-Fairfax Mars

It was probably the most powerful handgun around until the .44 magnum was invented, as it launched a 220 grain .45 bullet at 1250 fps(feet per second).

Good Lord that thing is homely.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Probably one of those very rare Mark 1 Lightweight Hi-Powers.. not super fancy but fairly practical.

 

[JSJPDX]

Early, Smith & Wesson Model 25 in .45LC.; a close second would be a Freedon Arms Premier Grade in .454 Casull.

 

[redbos99]

Nighthawk 1911 .45
Nighthawk 1911 10MM Longslide

 

[deann]

ww1 1911s..................

 

[samuelm16]

S&W 686 in nickel. Full lug revolvers turn me on

 

[The B]

Bren Ten.

We're using "holy grail" in the correct context- a thing of legend, an impossible objective, and/or utterly unobtainable (or at least close)....?

1911s and S&W wheel guns do not quality, dudes.

 

[jbett98]

26.5mm Manville Machine-Projector. Christopher Walken uses one with good results in the "Dogs of War" movie
