Dream guns you now own

[thatoneguy04]

Ever had a gun you only could dream of getting? One that invoked deep sense of nostalgia or one that was way too cool on a movie? I'd love to see you guns and hear your stories on why you loved a particular firearm!

I've been a Resident Evil fan for many years and I always wanted a Samurai Edge that the STARS team used in the game. I bought a couple airsoft pistols like that but I never once (for whatever reason) thought to build my own until now: IMG_20200528_114403_172 by Joshua Dees, on Flickr

I love it so far and is currently in for the proper engravings.

Great looking gun. I've always been a fan of the Samurai Edge as well as the Beretta 92 series because of movies and games as well. I have a 96a1 that I hope to do similar with some day when I decide to put my money towards it.

As for dream guns I've always had a list of un-realistic semi realistic and realistic dream guns. Mostly based on a price/value scale. My biggest un-realistic gun is a Barret 50 cal I've always wanted one and maybe someday I will get to shoot one but I doubt I will ever buy one. My 96a1 was one of my realistic dream guns and I bought one last year. For semi realistic I've always wanted a Desert Eagle and I finally bought one a few weeks ago and was able to get it out to shoot today.

My first handgun was a MK1 IMI Desert Eagle. That thing was very very picky on ammo.
I really really had more fun just playing around at home than at t he range.

Exactly having the desert eagle for 10 years, I finally sold it and hot a USP Tactical when it first came out.

My Springfield Armory Linkless 10mm, Linkless .40S&W and Omega. I'm also quite happy with my Remington XP-100 with a 4 digit serial number.

I got lucky with my first try on ammo. When I was shopping I couldn't find anything local and the cheapest places online were sold out so I went with Steinel 300 grain gold dot jhp 1500 fps ran great. Although I only shot it once one handed to try and it was last round but the slide caught open. We shot 6 mags 2 at a time with about 20 min between each set no issues. Although I will likely try some cheaper ammo when I get a chance.

That there is a sexy looking beast. I love it when people actually get the gun they've dreamed of owning. My first gun ever was an HK SL8-6 because I was mildly obsessed with the G36 platform. Fast forward 32 years and I decided to go ahead and take the full dive into the world. A very, very, very expensive dive. Here's the essence of the SL8 now. The internals are all SL8 save from the grip module.

Iirc mk1 was in 357 only. Very finicky and would randomly engage the safety

The pictured gun is a much later model in a different caliber

I'm a gun nut and this is like patient-zero for my addiction.

This is a shooter. It gets a new set of springs every so often but otherwise is all original parts. All the serial numbers match and it has some decent rifling but it isn't considered rare.
This is was made in the mid 30's and exported to China (the Chinese characters say 'Made in Germany'), and then imported back to the US some time in the early 80's. Found it in a little antique gun store in Pittsburgh for $295!
Fun fact: The only screw in the gun is the one in the grip, otherwise it is just a big jigsaw puzzle.

Nice.

I can?t look at one of those without thinking of Han Solo though.
