Wish List

[pcosmar]

Though I do deal with reality, I often wish for better.
The truck I want would cost over $60,000, But I have a $1,000 beater that gets the jobs done.
I would like to set up a wind generator, and have priced some nice systems. For now I buy electricity from the Co-Op. I am looking at building one myself from scratch.
I am disarmed,but I hope for the day that I can own guns again, I have lots of game on my land.
I understand my realities, but I still have wishes.
So this is a fantasy thread.
What do you want, Why do you want it?

As a left handed shooter (left eye dominant) I have always wanted a true left handed rifle.
There are several Lefty friendly guns, I like the Lightning Rifle. Pump action, top eject. It is on my wish list.

But this one is my pick for "If I Could".

I'm not looking for anything real exotic and expensive, or too large to carry for extended periods. Being very practical when it comes to armed self-defense, I would buy the following if I had the money:

Shotgun: Benelli M2 Tactical (with Comfortech stock):

Rifle: Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad:

Handgun: Kimber Pro CDP II:

Matt , The Barrett is a nice piece but not left friendly. Pretty heavy to pack around too.
It will reach out here though. Makes a mess of a rabbit at a quarter mile.

I think I would like something a bit more manageable for distance.
This maybe.

This was my idea for a handgun. I have been playing with the Idea.

I am still refining it. The new pic, (not uploaded) has combat sights. I wish my artistry was better, I would like to add a Damascus slide,hammer and trigger.

I agree with you about the Barrett. It's not practical for general self-defense.

Your choice of handgun brand and caliber is good, but the particular model you chose wouldn't be practical for concealed carry, and it's very basic as far as features.

If I bought a Springfield, I'd probably get the Loaded Champion Lightweight. It's a good general purpose mid-size .45 that's small enough for concealed carry, but not so small that recoil and barrel lift become a problem. It also comes standard with a number of features and improvements that are often found only on custom .45's, yet it isn't real expensive:

Lol I don't want a Barrett for self defense, I want one because it's freaking cool and it would be fun to blow shit up from a mile away. :D There's no way I could afford one but pcosmar did say this was a fantasy thread.

A more realistic dream gun for me would be a Tromix Saiga-12 like this.

I'd also like to get a DSA Fal

Sure, I understand. I wasn't trying to dump on your choice or anything. :)

Different people buy weapons for different reasons---defense, target shooting, plinking, hunting etc.

I'm real practical when it comes to weapons, and I'm only interested in them for self-defense purposes. I don't buy anything real cheap or real expensive. I buy brand new from proven manufacturers.

My personal tastes are varied.
I like old style, single action, and am fond of Black powder Rifles and revolvers.
I am also a mechanic and Hot Rodder. I am impressed with mechanical design and unique innovation. Then there is artistry, Custom guns, whether engraving or custom builds.
I have always wanted a real pretty gun.

Ok, here is a unique one.
Very pricey and not on MY list, but I do find it interesting, as a mechanical innovation.

Double-barrel rifles have always interested me, even though I'll probably never go African Safari Hunting anytime in the near future.

Holland & Holland have some real aesthetic guns, but for the price you could probably pay off a mortgage.
