Encore Pro Hunter with a Burris scope:

iblong · April 25, 2013, 07:06 AM

Mine I guess would be my Some what custom Sprigfield RO 1911 and my
Kimber Ultra Carry.

Mello2u · April 25, 2013, 10:17 AM

How about a Bren Ten that cost me about $3,100?

The actual Bren Ten that I received (November 1984) cost about $500; but I also prepaid (1983) for a Commemorative Model ($2,000) and a Pocket Model ($600) that I did not receive.

In inflated 2013 dollars that would be about $7,500.

Live and learn.

Come on: Somebody is waiting in the wings just dying to flash their Hi-Point!

The most expensive (and arguably the best) pistol I currently have in my inventory is my Smith & Wesson Model 945. A Smith Model 52 I've had for several decades is probably the second most valuable handgun I own.

SIG Equinox P220

Chowder · April 26, 2013, 02:02 AM

My Springfield 1911 Loaded target model might be worth the most currently but my S&W model 18 is the one I spent the most on. It is the only new handgun I have ever bought and it is not going anywhere anytime soon.

silvermane_1 · April 26, 2013, 02:29 AM

my 1st run Ruger SRH in .480 Ruger traded my IAI Automag IV for it, and hopefully come June it will be a blued Desert Eagle MK VII in .44/.41/.357 mag.

Closing The Gap · April 26, 2013, 09:11 AM

A Beretta 92 INOX is the pistol I paid the most for.

Glock20/460long · April 27, 2013, 01:22 AM

My Glock for 600, then spent 1800 on it.

The most I spent on one gun as is was 1200 retail 1700

aarondhgraham · April 27, 2013, 01:44 PM

Colt Trooper Mk-III, 6" barrel, .22 LR.

Near immaculate in condition,,,
I paid $750 for her about two years ago.

I find it somewhat curious that my three most expensive handguns,,,
Are chambered for the .22 LR cartridge.

IDAHOMIKE · April 27, 2013, 08:44 PM

My Wildey would be the most pricey, although in the grand scheme of things, it really wasnt all that expensive.

Stevie-Ray · April 27, 2013, 09:24 PM

Most paid? My EDC, a Kimber UCDP, still less than a grand. My most valuable? Probably a "captured enemy equipment" DWM Luger, but I paid nothing for it.

X_shooter · April 27, 2013, 09:30 PM

Les Baer Monolith. No picture yet because Im on month ten of production. It is supposed to ship next week!

bbqncigars · April 28, 2013, 12:45 PM

Most paid $ for would be a toss up between my TDE 180 AMP wearing a High Standard .357AMP barrel and my Bowen 3 screw Ruger BH in 25-20.

Joe_Pike · April 28, 2013, 02:28 PM

I paid the most for a Springfield Loaded, but the one that is worth the most is a 1937 S&W 38-44 Heavy Duty.

bac1023 · April 29, 2013, 10:36 PM

I have some others close, but my most expensive is my Korth autopistol. Less than 300 were built.

There's one on Gunbroker. This one had a bid of $9000 and didn't hit the reserve.

Venom1956 · April 29, 2013, 10:45 PM

Its over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bac1023 · April 29, 2013, 10:56 PM

They run about $12000 brand new. Korth USA has a couple in stock if you're interested.

I don't think they are building any more. The last batch Korth USA got from Germany was about 10 years ago.

Sevens · April 30, 2013, 01:55 PM

Did you...get a good deal on one?!
Do you shoot it?
Have you considered selling it?
What's the rest of this story?
...Sounds interesting!

PT-92 · April 30, 2013, 05:48 PM

Lots of beauties in the thread!

Personally, I've never paid more than $550 for a handgun simply because I am very frugal (if money were no variable I would have a Browning Hi Power instead of my nice clone

).

silvermane_1 · May 1, 2013, 12:28 AM

how accurate is that $9/12k 9MM?

ljnowell · May 1, 2013, 01:23 AM

My most expensive, as purchased, handgun is my Sig1911. I have a Glock 21 though that has a laasermax guiderod laser(got for free, long story), mepro steel adjustable night sights, ghost rocket trigger, lightened striker, and a spring kit. Its got a devent amount of parts stuck in it that help add value, at least to the right fella.

I guess I'm a cheap arse... my most expensive to buy was a S&W 610... I have bought several expensive new guns ( my Automags were all purchased new, for example, but they were purchased long ago ) I have bought several new guns lately, but the bulk are Ruger single actions which were cheaper than the 610 I bought a couple years ago...
