What are your Grail Guns?

[davsel]

Over the years, I've acquired all the guns I need, and several I just want. I started with my dad giving me hunting firearms growing up, then picked up pistols, rifles, and shotguns for self defense, then guns for competition, and now guns that I just always wanted. I have not gotten into collecting for investment purposes - they are all shooters that I do not plan to flip.

Some of my grail guns I've picked up are:

Barrett M99
Browning Hi-Power
WWII 1911
Nazi Luger
Winchster 73, 92, 94
S&W 19, 66, 625
Colt SAA, 1917
Benelli M3

Some I'd like to have:

Sharps
Steyr Scout
Colt Python
BAR
Something belt-fed


Curious what others consider to be their "grail guns."

Guns I don't have and can't afford:

• HK P7 M13, M10 and M8 (in that order)
• FAMAS
• Early blued Colt Pythons
• John Martz Baby Luger
• Big Horn Armory Model 89 Carbine in .500mag (CCH frame, fancy wood)
• (edited to add) Taylor & Co 1873 Comanchero

I'm sure I could come up with more but that'll do for now

Full Auto Mp5
Bren Gun
PPSh-41

Those are the three that come to mind right away. I'm sure the list is actually much longer.

I was about 7 or 8 the first time I saw a Tippman 1919 scaled down to 22lr at a gun show. It apparently took me weeks to stop talking about it, still one of the top “grail” guns on my list.

I've done a pretty good job over the years of acquiring most of the guns I've wanted. Of what's left, it's mostly obscure or weirdly configured variants of mass produced firearms. So excluding NFA stuff, these are the things I occasionally search the used gun cases hoping to come across:

HK P9S Sport Group III in 9mm with weighted barrel and both slides.
S&W 610 non-fluted.
Desert Eagle 50 with non-integrated muzzle comp in hard chrome.
Sig X6 PPC
Sig 226 Sport SL with weight
HK SR9 TC
