What's your jackpot handgun?

Redhawk5.5+P+ · August 17, 2012, 04:51 PM

Could be a revolver or a Semi.

The only reason I bring this up is, I just hit around $2500 playing keno.

I just put in an ordered for a Glock 20 SF 10mm ($601 OTD), and a Lone Wolf Long Slide kit with a Compensator, flash hider, a silver, and a black thread protectors ($685.31), total $1,286.31 for every thing, and yes the slide kit cost more than the new gun. That's a new record for me. I didn't order the 6" Dillon barrel, yet, but I still have $900 left, but I'm going to save that for now.

Now for the bad news, I won't see the slide kit until the end of September. That leaves me plenty of time to get 10mm ammo.

In case your wondering why I didn't buy a revolver, it's because I have all the revolvers I will ever need, or want, for now.

No pic, but Gunblast.com has the same gun on there sight with the comp.

What a cool thing to happen!

Congrats on your good fortune.

BIG jackpot? CZ75 Full auto. I know there's a few fully transferable ones around, but not very many.
Smaller jackpot? Long list, probably something from czcustom.com.

Sheriff Gotcha · August 17, 2012, 05:02 PM

Probably a Barret chambered for 50 BMG. Just something overly expensive that's more for fun and show than practical use.

That or an FN PS90 which is something I can't afford now but hope to afford in the future. That may have a more practical use than the Barret.

Oo now that I remember the Beretta Billenium I think it was called is a pretty sweet looking piece of metal.

sigcurious · August 17, 2012, 05:04 PM

It would have to be a $40-100 firearm. That's the most I've won at any one time gambling

If I were to win some real money next time a friend is in town to drag me to a casino, I'd probably splurge on a fancy 1911.

Venom1956 · August 17, 2012, 05:05 PM

IDK if I would spend 1200 on a glock but to each his own.

Broomhandle in 9mm comes to mind. Schofield revolver. ummm... i could go on and on.

PawPaw · August 17, 2012, 05:18 PM

Smith and Wesson Model 38. Nickeled, with nice grips. Then, something nice for the lady. It's hard to go wrong when you do something nice for the lady.

I'm heading to our small little Indian casino in about an hour. My lady wants to go play for a couple of hours. The little casino is only 40 minutes from my house.

dfsixstring · August 17, 2012, 05:23 PM

Beretta 92FS INOX and a Winchester 94 lever action.

hlds54 · August 17, 2012, 05:29 PM

Probably a custom 1911. Maybe a hk usp, always wanted one

Mikey Idaho · August 17, 2012, 05:58 PM

I'd have to say a C&S tuned BHP...or a Springfield M1A Super Match or Socom 16.

BarryLee · August 17, 2012, 06:09 PM

Most likely something from Ed Brown.

dogmush · August 17, 2012, 06:45 PM

Are there any transferable Berretta 93's around? That would be pretty cool. An original C96, or Hi Power with the stock would be pretty cool too.

BigJimP · August 17, 2012, 06:50 PM

Don't need anything/have everything I really want - in handguns, rifles and shotguns..( way more than I need or deserve !)...about 50 guns or so....

But ...if I did hit a jackpot of $ 125 K or so ......( I'd order 6 more Freedom Arms revolvers....I have one in a large frame .357 mag, 4 3/4" octagon barrel, 5 shot, full action job with triggers tuned to 3 lbs , same adj prem rear sight and front fiber optic sight, same cocobolo wood grips, and the factory adjusted overtravel screw...( its a very nice gun !! )....

http://thefiringline.com/forums/atta...0&d=1339790943

I'd order Three more ...identical spec...( about $ 11 K ) in these three...
a. .22 lr
b. .44 mag
c. .45 Colt

and three more ...in 7.5" octagon barrels ...one each in: ( about $ 14 K in these guns ...)....
a. .454 Casull
a. .475 Linbaugh
b. .500 Wyoming Express
and I'd put scope mounts and probably the 2X - 6X Bushnell 3200 scopes on them and the lowell mounts....

http://www.freedomarms.com/
and I'd spring for the extra $25 per gun ...to be sequentially serial numbered ...

.....

a new Lexus LX-570 to carry all this around in .... ( about $ 100 K on the car )
http://www.lexus.com/models/LX/detai...fications.html
( I'd like it in black onyx this time ...) ....list is $ 92,700 and with tax, etc...it'll list over $100 K ...but they'll make me a deal probably ...

Cheapshooter · August 17, 2012, 06:51 PM

Well, you said handguns, so unlike others I'll leave the 50BMG out.
Nothing too extravagant. Sig P226, or S&W 617 are two that would make the list. If it were a really big windfall I'd say a 1st generation Colt SAA, or matching numbered Luger.

Joe_Pike · August 17, 2012, 07:05 PM

I'd just keep the $2,500 as I have all of the guns I want for now.

chris in va · August 17, 2012, 07:10 PM

I already have two, Garand and CZ 97b. At some point I'd like to get the CZ tuned.

That is something I am seriously considering saving for -- just add 10-8 rear sight, gold bead front, and maybe carry cuts.

rgrundy · August 17, 2012, 09:30 PM

Sig P210.

Redhawk5.5+P+ · August 17, 2012, 11:34 PM

Being now, I just have $800+ instead of $900 after a bad night of keno.

It was a little frivolous of a purchase, but damn it, I want/wanted one and now this peasant stock has another cool gun soon. 6 weeks to get the long slide though.

FYI, this is my first Glock, I'm proud of my wasting of money, but I don't regret it one bit.

I can't wait to get the dillon 9X25 set up.

Malamute · August 18, 2012, 12:25 PM

I don't gamble, but if I had mad money around that wasn't needed elsewhere, I'd like an engraved Colt Single Action in 44 spl, or a tightly chambered 45 Colt. A modern Colt flat top target copy or New Frontier may be good, with the front sight swapped out for a copy of the Flat Top Target front sight. A little gold inlay work on the edges would be fine. It would get carried and used.

gak · August 18, 2012, 12:59 PM

Malamute said
"I'd like an engraved Colt Single Action in 44 spl..."

This'll make you ill, but one just like that - an engraved .44, 2nd Gen no less - sat around forever over at one of the lesser-known (to me) sites - egun I think - a few years ago BIN at a very reasonable price--I forget exactly what. I'm a huge .44 Sp and SAA fan myself, and ultimately satisfied that combo itch (see another thread) to delight--not engraved--but just couldn't see my way at the time regardless (within reason!) of how good a price. Never got the $ when you "need" it! Haven't seen same or similar combintion/deal since.

Back to the OP, I if a revolver, I guess I'd say a + 1 to someone else's already mentioned 1st Gen Colt SAA - make mine a very rare .44 Sp, or sky's the limit, what the heck - a cerified primo condition Cavalry or Artillery.
...Or if auto, I wouldn't spend the jingle I don't think (though I think I just "did" above on the 1st Gen SAA!) on a mega buck super custom, but more along the lines of "just" a new Ed Brown, in my case Special Forces Carry (bobtail commander, like someone else's Executive...). I like 'em relatively simple/unadorned and to me it doesn't get any better than that one. One of nicest autos--or guns, period, and I'm partial to revolvers--I've ever handled, regardless of price.

Old Grump · August 18, 2012, 01:11 PM

Jardine custom 1911A1 longslide in 10MM. If it was a huge jackpot then add 38 super, and 45 Win Magnum.

jasmith85 · August 18, 2012, 01:26 PM

Depending on how big of a jackpot it was I would go with either a Colt 1911 or a Colt Python.
