It would have to be a Paris Theodore ASP. Preferably a 1975 issue.

I'm thinking I'd buy a Coonan .357 Mag "1911-ish" pistol. Whether it would be an old one or a new one...well, I guess that depends on what was available.

I would have to hit the lottery or whatever for more than $2500 to feel like I could reach out to buy another gun...but that's because I am still paying for the $3K I spent at an auction two months ago.
My wants are fairly routine. I want a 44 Mag Henry Big Boy, and a Stainless 44 mag 4" bbl, either an Alaskan or a Smith 629. |

Op
Next Jackpot gun "will" be something I could have bought new at one time before for around $1200 NIB, a Dan Wesson 44 super mag Alaskan.

It would be the last gun to finish my collection,,,
S&W Model 45 "Post Office" K-frame revolver,,,
Essentially it's a Model 10 chambered for the .22 LR Cartridge. It's the only handgun missing from my private collection list. Aarond .

I'd have a little custom work done to my Commander to make it a little more personal. $2,500.00 would be just about right for a custom carry package at a reputable smithy.

As much as I enjoy looking at $2500 guns, and despite the fact that I would almost certainly enjoy shooting them even more than I enjoy looking at them, I'm not sure I could ever bring myself to actually spend that much on a gun. Were I to hit a $2500 jackpot, I suspect that my purchases would look more like this:
1) A $1000 gun; 2) $500 in ammunition; and 3) $1000 in a reloading setup and supplies. (Mind you, I do not have the foggiest idea on how much a reloading setup or supplies cost, so it might be $1000 of ammo, and $500 of reloading stuff.) I know that this isn't nearly as exciting as some of the other stuff that's been posted, but I could do a lot of shooting with that. I would truly, truly hate to buy a $2500 gun and then discover that I couldn't afford to shoot it.

Let's see - probably a Smith and Wesson model 57 41 mag with a 6" barrel, pinned and recessed, deep blue and beautiful grips. Also with a like new presentation case with tools and paperwork included - Just like the one that I had and sold and regret it to this day! jben

I'd go for a custom Redhawk with 5" barrel and 5-shot line-bored cylinder in 480 Ruger.

.45 Colt? 99% condition! |

Well I would have to hit it big,
I want a never fired colt gi 1911, if I had crazy money maybe a singer 1911 for fun. Less than 7 digits in winnings I would say a sig p210 and python 3 guns I respect and desire yet simply will not pay current prices for |

I would buy the most expensive 1911 I could get my hands on......and then shoot and beat the crap out of it. I would of course then document my findings and determine whether or not to buy another one.

Funny you should ask.....
I did (kind of) hit the jackpot last year with my fantasy football team. League pot was right around 1000. I got what was (for me) my dream gun - a new BHP. I was determined to spend it all on one, but talked a LGS down to 550 for it (LNIB, but technically used) which was 580 OTD. SO, I said "dang, I got plenty left over for those spiffy Spiegle grips I always see on good lookin' BHP's". I talked to Mr. Spiegle on the phone and he said he had some "plain" walnut ones he could send me right away - about $50. SO, I did not even get to spend the whole pot on my jackpot gun.....

I am now in position of my Glock 20 SF, now I have to wait for the long slide and the other goodie.
One note, it looks like a Glock, acts like a Glock, sounds like a Glock, must be a Glock. Not sure I should be ashamed or proud. But I like it! |
