Guns You Plan To Buy - Page 4

Well, I live in Oregon, so the only thing stopping me will be my crippling lack of income once I graduate from the black hole that is college.

Cash flow permitting, I've always wanted a Colt Commander, not sure why exactly.
Other nice stuff to have would be O/U shotguns(which I love for some irrational reason, just so sleek looking), and maybe a Browning BDA 380.
Because of the low cash flow, I'd like to grab myself a Taurus for CCW when I can, and ultimately would like a Kahr or Kel Tec for CCW.

Well I had better yank those 1st Generation presentation Colt SAAs out of the safe and start blasting away!

Oh, those UNFIRED Martini Henry Short lever rifles, pshaw! LOL. I'll dump 500 rounds through that gun, same with the original presentation 1866 with 100% original finish!

, never mind that unfired vintage firearms are worth so much more than fired or 'well used' guns. Or that unfired Pre-WW2 Commercial Colt M1911A1.

I was thinking of people with newer guns they dont fire, the vintage stuff I understand. A custom 1911 that never gets to play, or a Lever gun that never hunts and just gets oiled....

Yeah, I agree K8970.
There are display pieces, and then there are guns.

I like the sound of this 1866.

What about firing the SAA's with, I dunno. Custom overpressure rounds?
Nothing potentially harmful about that.

If I were to buy an old revolver, I'd get a schofield. I just love the look of that gun

Buy a NEW model of the Schofield. The older versions were sold in only .45 Schofield which was their main downfall during the time (since pretty much no other gun used the Schofield rounds) and they make newer models in more common rounds like .38 special and .45 long colt. Some of the other Smith & Wesson tip up guns were sold in rounds like .44-40, which was a popular round of the time so that would seem like a better option. Like the New Model Frontier. Since most rifles of the time used .44-40, it was conveniant to have a .44-40 pistol to use the same rounds.
