Free your mind,and choose from what you feel in your heart, you want in the next handgun to suit your need. Does that make sense?

Ha ha, that probably makes as much sense as anything. May just cool it for awhile and save some cash in the event I stumble on something I feel like I can't pass up.

What about a casual plinker? A Ruger MK series, either I, II,III, or IV, depending
upon your taste. Nambu-style slide lends them to a scope mount. The 7" bull barrels are about as accurate as they come, and with a scope, you are out to 50 & 75 yards. Fun shooting in 22LR. |

Well, I have a Buck Mark and a .22 Hi Standard Sentinel. Does that count?

I've owned the bull barrel MKII target before, albeit around 30 years ago.

Seriously...
you own no autoloaders in 32acp and no 32 caliber revolvers of any kind and you wonder what might be missing? |

Easy to shoot, no recoil, a PITA to find that 32acp brass though. I have had a Walther PP and it is one of the BEST natural pointers with zip for recoil and easy to reload. I do own some 32 SWL revolvers, and they are even more fun. Make it a 327, and you go go really hot, mid range with the 32 H&R or mild with the 32 SWL.

Thanks. I think at this point I'm going to try to add another caliber to support and reload.

The Beretta Pico comes in a .380 acp & you can buy an accessory .32 acp barrel for one---just for the giggles and grins. Brass is a bit of a pain to chase around from a little pocket pistol though. The empty's seem to fly a country mile. |

M1892 French Ordnance Revolver.
Just guessing. Didn't read the posts. |

I always wanted a .41 Magnum but I couldn't justify it with the outrageous price of ammo especially considering I already have a couple of .357 Magnums.

I've been in your situation a few times trying to "round out" my collection. Unfortunately for me, I have grown tired of the mundane (meaning the prices have gone up). I have guns in .22 LR, .32 ACP, 9mm, .357 magnum, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. I also have 3 12 gauge shotguns, 2 AR-15s, and a .30-06. I have been looking at the FN 5.7 any may eventually pick one up.
My carry guns get the most use followed by my 1911s in 9mm and .45 ACP. I think I'm done collecting (for now) stuff that probably won't get shot much (if at all). Your line of questioning for your next gun should probably be: - What does this new gun do that the others don't? - Would this gun be filling any specific role (HD, CCW, Competition, Range Toy, Investment)? If you can't really find a reason for it, you should probably pass on it. Spend the money on ammo or training. Hurricane Irma was an eye opener when I was really concerned about losing my house. I have a crap ton of guns any I really only shoot about 4 or 5 of them regularly.

That Sentinel is a rockin' little nine-shot. I think Hi-Standard's revolvers are
way under-rated. |

Why more people don't reload is a mystery to me. |

Stephen426,
That's exactly what I find myself thinking, and I realize I have many pistols that fill the same role. Last year I sold off about four of them, only to regret one of the sales and buying another one just like it. The last time I posted this question, the 9mm 1911 was a great suggestion that I hadn't thought of. At this point though, despite the great suggestions, I don't see anything that makes the light bulb go off. Maybe that's a good thing! May spend the $$ on some other things.

Yes, sure do. Have a G22 although, admittedly, I'm not a huge Glock fan.
