When you forget your gloves, place a bandaid, duct tape, etc, over the web of your hand before shooting. Amazing how well just that little bit helps to prevent bite.

Most Expensive??
A Kimber Custom Shop Super Carry Pro .45 ACP 1911, which I bought in January 2012. I hit 62 took Social Security and a second retirement from Uncle Same and bought this one to celebrate getting it all right. I also finalized a nasty divorce in which I managed to keep my money and property. She kept her money and I kept mine. But as usual the lawyers made out like bandits. Such is life |

Humbly, this is it.
Had an EMP for a bit, but figured I'd rather sweat all over a Glock. It became a safe queen, needed some cash, so it got sold. |

I guess Mine is a SA that I sent to Clark for their heavy slide bullseye treatment. #2 is a Python.

I feel like a cheap-o compared to some of the beautiful firearms I have seen in this thread (especially the Pythons) ...... but the most expensive out-the-door was a 2001 Para-Ordnance 14.45 (stainless) ..... if we were counting the amount of time I put in personally to fix/finish ... it would be a 1946 Argentine Sistema that I have been working on perfecting for years now .... by hand ...... its ALMOST there ..... I'll never be able to get the money and time I have put into it out of it .... but its my baby.

Re: Your most expensive handgun.
The majority of my collection is polymer so my Springfield Loaded would be my most expensive.

Amercian citizen (Bersa .380, DP-51, CCWP) living in Guatemala City, Guatemala, Central Amercia:
All of my hand guns! Since I am currently living in a Central American third world country and this country does not produce a gun of their own, I pay double the price for any handgun I purchase plus all the fees associated with the purchase and carry permit. On July 2nd of this year I will be starting the process of buying a Bul M-5 Commander .45. The total cost, when it is all said and done, will be Q12000. with equals to $1583. Sucks, huh. However, guns are a must-have here. I've repelled roadragers, robbers, carjackers, and assassins all blocks from where I live. Third world... all things considered... I'd rather be in Jersey. |

My Colt Gold Cup. Paid $660.98 including tax for it back in '94. Adjusting for inflation, it would be about $1038.95 today. Still more than my SW1911 sku#108284 which I paid 921.61 for in 2010 ($984.54 adjusted).
My GC was worth every penny and to this day, has been the only 1911 that has never given me any issues.

My Sig 232 and Beretta M9A1, both were around $650. My most expensive handgun purchase will be a 1911 when I have the cash, and I don't think I could bring myself to pay any more than $900-$1000 for a handgun.

My two mint condition 1944 Colt 1911A1's were my most expensive guns. Don't remember how much I paid for them as it was ~15 years ago. I also bought an excellent condition 1943 Colt 1911A1 at the same time.
