Your most expensive handgun. - Page 5

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.

j3hill · May 15, 2013, 10:27 PM

Yep. Unfired Python. But I have a 19-1 that is getting up there in price also.

stephen426 · May 16, 2013, 12:07 AM

Okay... I'll play

Sig P210 50th Anniversary Edition (New in box)
Sig P210 (bought used so since I can't bring myself to shoot the other one)
Les Baer Monolith Heavyweight with 1.5" guarantee
Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special (hard chromed)
Heckler & Koch P7M8 (prices have gone up like crazy)
STI Edge

The FIRST ONE!!!! The gateway drug: Sig P226R 9mm. --> Model 41 --> PCR -> 2x SP-01 Shadows -> XD(m) 45 -> Ruger MkII Target -> (couple long guns) -> Ruger Single Ten

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.

Exit_Wound · May 29, 2013, 12:09 AM

Ruger P95

It's my first and so far only firearm!

I've had it for 7 days TODAy, so I'm thinking its time to start shopping again!

pete2 · May 29, 2013, 03:01 PM

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

Proliant · June 11, 2013, 05:43 PM

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.

Hundy · June 11, 2013, 07:04 PM

Smith and Wesson model 686 6" bought last year.

JWT · June 11, 2013, 08:28 PM

Most expensive is a Dan Wesson CBOB .45 ACP. Great gun in all respects.

Moe Howard · June 11, 2013, 11:00 PM

The majority of my collection is polymer so my Springfield Loaded would be my most expensive.

45_auto · June 12, 2013, 07:06 PM

Like new engraved 1st generation Colt SAA in 38 Colt with a factory letter.

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.

Brian48 · June 19, 2013, 09:03 PM

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.

Dragline45 · June 20, 2013, 07:11 PM

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.

1911 Kimber Pro CDP II So far Has Been My Biggest Purchase But Thinking Of Getting The Ultra Master Carry Which Will Cost More $$$$

vba · June 26, 2013, 09:51 AM

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.

CharlieDeltaJuliet · June 26, 2013, 10:01 AM

2 1/2" Python.. It's been shot around 18 times (give or take 1 or 2 rounds)
