    I'm seconding #7 on the first list. Tanfoglio combo .41 AE/9mm. The gun is a piece of genuis, knock off from the CZ75 for sure, but the .41 AE conversion puts it in another ballpark. My .41 AE is a cb shooter. But you should see me scrounging back up my brass! Last time I saw it for sale it was a buck a pop! Starline won't listen to me and won't make it.

    P08 Luger - both 9 mm and 7.65 mm (45 would be cool)
    3 screw Ruger SAs
    1902-1907 Colt Auto variants
    Browning 1910 and 1922
    1860 Army
    Late 1800s and early 1900s Smiths (don't know exact models, but know when I see them).

    Yeah... I like the old stuff MUCH better than all the new polymer stuff...

    The best, most accurate handgun I ever owned. Six shot groups at 25 yards with factory wadcutters could be completely hidden by a shiny new dime.

    S&W models 16 , 17 , 18 made like the four or five screw quality and no locks with a five inch barrel option on all of them .

    After reading what NoZombies got started about .32's how about a model 31 with a four or five inch barrel and adjustable sights ?

    OK , one more I got a soft spot for carbon steel forty-fours and I'd like to see a comeback of the model 29 ...... no locks .

    I would like to see the High Standard Double Nine revolver in 22lr made again, maybe with a magnum cylinder extra.
