I know this is an old thread, but I'm glad someone resurrected it! Great pictures. I need to take some better ones, these are with my phone. My collection isn't high end. I have bought what I thought were interesting guns that were a good deal. No Korths or Sig P210's for me. I wish I could afford them. The most expensive gun on here original purchase price was the CZ-85 purchased new. All others purchased used.

IZH 35m target pistol. .22 LR
CZ 75 pre-B has a CZ Cadet Kit and original slide
CZ-85 Combat in high gloss blue finish
HK P7 Police Trade in. Holster wear, gas tube was super clean
Simpson Suhl East German Makarov
Russian Commercial Mak
Belgian Browning Medalist with weights and wood forend (is a shooter, does not have the box etc.)
Bought a Browning Nomad simply because it had some extra mags for the Medalist! It is an amazing shooter and was cheap.
Smith and Wesson K-22 with 8 3/8 barrel
Kahr K-9 Elite 98 9mm
Dan Wesson Pointman 7 - .45 - back when Dan Wesson was trying to make a name for themselves and were cheap compared to other 1911's
CZ-83 in .380 - nicely blued. Great little .380 double stack

1907 Colt SAA 45; 1957 Python; 1960 Python; Colt 1911 (mfg 1913 older Colt refinish); Colt Gold Cup 45 with ultimate finish; 1974 Gold Cup


1986 Colt Mustang SN MU00044 - 44th one ever made with ivory grips.


STI LS40 - Grips are my creation to keep the originals in nice condition

S&W Model 1899 Target made in 1901. Out of 20,000 first models produced, estimates are that somewhere between 5-10% were targets, so maybe 1000-2000 produced. It is further estimated that less than 10% of those have survived, which leaves around 100-200 left. I have only seen three other First model Targets but on all the others the barrels had been cut down. This is the only unaltered one I have seen and all numbers on the gun are matching.




C96 Mauser made in 1916. Lots of these around, but what makes this on a bit unique is that it is a commercial model made during WWI. It came with it's original matching number holster/stock along with the original cleaning rod and 1916 dated leather harness. While made as a civilian gun, it has military acceptance proofs.




1930 Colt Officers Model Target. One of the first production models, this is in about 99% original condition.

Guys guys let's not forget we need to include our feet in those gorgeous pics carpet and feet and multi thousand dollar rare gun!

[stephen426]

BAC1023 and lifesizepotato look like they are winning this hands down! You guys might be long lost brother with such similar taste! Congrats on your collections! Next time, put a disclaimer before you start posting. I nearly shorted out my computer drooling over your guns!

[Jbar4Ranch]

lifesizepotato has a Dardick and trounds to go with it... that's going to be a tough one to beat.

Here's a 12mm Gyrojet and six rounds I picked up a couple years ago.

[stephen426]

Wow Jbar4Ranch! What the heck is that? Interesting weapon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet

I just looked it up. Interesting concept, but a weapon with no ammo is a bludgeon at best. LOL

[SansSouci]

Just about all guns are fixin' to become rare in CA.

[Skans]

I've always wondered why no one seems capable of making ammo for the gyrojet?

[stephen426]

Skans,

Why would anyone bother to make something that never really caught on? While it seems the terminal velocity was decent, the research i did showed that the initial velocity was low. In close distances, it may not have time to accelerate to effective velocities. Since it is actually designed as a rocket, its range may also be limited.

More likely than not, the gyrojet is the answer to a question that nobody really asked. It was less reliable, probably more expensive, and required specialized weapons to fire them from.

[rock185]

Those Gyrojets are interesting. A cheap gun firing expensive ammo would not seem to make much sense, whether rocket gun or something more conventional. I'm sure neither the guns, or ammo, are cheap now though

[Jbar4Ranch]

Most Gyrojets were purchased as oddities for collections, and most have never been fired, as ammo was quite expensive and not widely available - a single round cost around three dollars, about the same as an entire box of fifty .38 spl LRN ammo. Today, it's rare to find it for under $100/round.

[Skans]

Today, it's rare to find it for under $100/round.

At $100/round, you'd think someone would get in on this! Even if they could only sell rounds for $10 a piece. That's a heck of a profit margin. The guns themselves should be nothing to make, and the patents have probably run out. Look, there's a cottage industry making "grenade" launchers and practice grenades/flares for them. How practical is a 3lb flare launcher hanging from your AR15?

I'm not sure how big the market is for that. Like I said, it is the answer to a question nobody asked. If it was better, cheaper, more accurate, or more reliable, then there may have been a market for it. Since it solves none of those, I would not invest in a company that tried to bring those back. Thats obviously just my opinion.

[SaxonPig]

I don't have anything really rare. But I do have a 1938 S&W "Registered Magnum" that was #27 of 50 stamped for the Utah Highway Patrol.




I also have a Model 659 S&W that was a special order for the Atlanta PD around 1990. I am told they made 150 of them.
