What is your insanity?

[Nocturnal Stumblebutt]

Any double action revolver with a semi-uncommon chambering. Don't get me wrong, I love 38 special, 357 magnum, and 44 magnum revolvers. But I am a sucker for double action revolvers that are chambered for centerfire cartridges other than those 3.

Want to make a quick profit?

It did cross my mind after a check on gunbroker. Couldn't believe folks are paying over $1000 for them.

[Tackleberry41]

Can't say I have a particular insanity. I dont keep buying the same things. I walk into a shop and go 'ooo whats that'. My collection is all over the place in brand and caliber. But a friend says I only like weird stuff.

[sharps4590]

Among handguns it's still Colt SAA's with old S&W DA revolvers coming in a very close second. Long guns....just about anything German, Austrian or British that is chambered for an unavailable cartridge or better yet one I've never heard of or read about.

[funnyjim014]

Milsurps.... everyone is different. 4 sks and 4 M.nagants and a half dozen mausers. And I'm not crazy, my mom had me tested

[odfairfaxsub]

Hi powers. Loved them at one point then sold my two for sigs. Since then sigs are out and 4 hi powers took their place. Much better.

I tend to become enamored with different guns over the years. A BFR 45-70 with a 6 inch barrel (7.5 inch if you include the cylinder) got past my defenses a while back. Of course I don't need to worry about grizzly bears in Texas, but you never know. I also do have a weak spot for the small .32 caliber handguns though. I don't know, there is just something about the .32 ACP, .32 S&W, 32 H&R Magnums that seem to call to me. I even bought some .308 chamber inserts for the .32 H&R, .32 S&W rounds too. Old military rifles get my fancy from time to time too.

I have a habit of destroying their value by refurbishing them. Oh well. I have a rifle that looks and works like it was brand new. Marlin levers come in a close second. Remington taking over is what killed collecting more. I reuse to pay current prices for a utility rifle. If I didn't have them already it would be different. But I'm not in need of any.

Mine is S&W 25-5's 45long colt and 1911's

[jhaston]

I have a soft spot in my heart for any "orphan guns", the more beat up & ugly the better, I enjoy doing small repairs or just cleaning up an old abused gun.

[EDK]

RUGER ORIGINAL SIZE VAQUEROS, stainless steel, 5.5 and 7.5 inch barrel, 44 and 357 magnum.
MARLIN COWBOY RIFLES in 30/30, 357, 44 and 45/70, octagon barrels.
Lately GLOCK model 34 and 41.

[nagantguy]

I don't have any insanity, no I don't buy and accessorize every 10/22 I see below the price of a new one, no sir, did t just find another Kimber 1911 in the safe that I'm not 100% sure where it came.from, and I do not repeat do not buy Mosin nagants especially from the mid 20s to early 30's every time i see one at under 3 bills. nope not at alll, o and I do not buy things just because they have the Ruger name on them, not Blackhawks nor minis nor sp101s, why do you ask?

[Texantothecore]

1851 Navys. .45 Long Colt Derringers.

[Mytmousemalibu]

I have a taste for milsurps and anything that is more to the obscure/weird side. Guns that are of high quality, fit & finish. I know, pretty vague but about the only gun I have multiples of is Mosin Nagants. I think I have 7 of them? But who's counting right! I also have a soft spot for anything S&W.

At the top of the lust list right now:


The new CZ-75 SP-01 Shadow 2!
I do shoot USPSA and I like hot rod race guns and I recently put a few mags through a fellow shooter's previous generation Shadow/Custom Shop gun and what an awesome rig. I have lusted for a CZ-75 for some time, they just feel right in my hands and the Shadow..... Pure bliss! It points so naturally for me and I shoot it well, like the bullets are laser guided to the Alpha zone! Soon as possible I want to get my hands on a Shadow 2.

Another gun born out of competitive shooting sports that I'd really like to get:

S&W Model 52-2, Mid-range .38 special Wadcutter

Gotta have a revo on the lust list and this ones a doozie:

Everyone refers to Ruger's as "tanks", but you would be very hard pressed to find a tougher tank than this masterpiece. Not only is it incredible robust but it is also very refined and of very high quality.

[merlin101]

Dan Wesson revolvers, got several in .357 and .44 but i'm still looking for that elusive ___SUPER MAG! Someday I'll find one and I'll have the cash.

[robertbank]

Need did someone mention need. I have about 16 pistols and revolvers to play IDPA with and I am now looking at a Turkish copy of a compact Beretta. Linda might beat me to death if I buy it but then maybe she won't.

I have to admit other than a Uberti El Patron 5 1/2" in 45Colt I think I am or maybe finally done. My recent purchase of a Model 10 5" pretty much cured my itch.

Cheap firearms and not just price. I just cant stand seeing if they work or not. Got a jennings for $25 and it actually goes bang. Bought a keltec 380 that wouldnt go bang if you stuffed the barrel with gunpowder.

Hi Points on the other hand are priced cheap and are ugly but are not cheap guns

I am also a sucker for Blackhawks. I have a number of SW wheelguns but nothing makes me grin like a Blackhawk for some reason

The Turks bought the rights to produce the 92 and variants from Beretta. Guns are made on modern CNC equipment provided by Beretta and in some respects are better than the Beretta's. They sell for a third of new Beretta's up here. Turkey gunsmiths have been producing quality firearms since Columbus rowed across the ocean. CZ Shotguns for CZ are produced there as well. The quality of the build is better than my Ruger Convertible by a lot.

The Turks build extremely good guns. The Caniks and Girsans as well has many shotguns are first rate. Unfortunately with their recent shift to radical Islam I don't think I'll be buying anything from them any time soon.

[goryshaw]

S&W N frames, first handgun I owned was a Model 25-5 which I still have 28 years later. Still my favorite caliber too, but I'll take any N frame regardless of caliber. Still looking for Model 57.
