I have been looking at Star PDs, but I won't pay what most sellers want.
I look for them on occasion, but the prices are turn offs. I should have bought my friend's years ago when he sold his gun shop. So--probably the Hi-Power and Anaconda are at the top of my list to actually own again. The .40 Hi-Power might be a bit of a Unicorn these days, eh? Have you seen any being offered recently? The Anaconda is available again, but as I asked in another message, why a .44 Magnum now? Note that I didn't mention any SIGs other than the P230 and no Glocks at all? Why I'm shocked! Harvey |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Any thoughts on which, if any, you'd want to buy again these days? The Colt Army Special, but I wouldn't work at it, because my Colt Official Police is the same revolver with a different name. The .40 Hi-Power, because I really believe it was a great pistol. FN beefed up the barrel, frame and slide on that one--unlike EVERY OTHER maker of .40S&W pistols in the 90s who just put a .40 caliber barrel in their 9mms and changed the springs, FN came to the party late because they re-engineered the HP. Some things are obvious--three locking lugs rather than two on the traditional 9mm P35. And compared side by side, an obviously thicker and slightly heavier pistol compared to the 9mm. Yet for a 1911 guy, it still was not an overly heavy pistol, just tough enough to handle the .40S&W cartridge safely. I don't know if there are any others. Oh, I have been looking at Star PDs, but I won't pay what most sellers want. And I did replace some of those--the Ruger .22 with the bull barrel model, etc. And I have a Bulgarian PM that is every bit as good as a shooter as my Ernst Thaelman PM, if not as collectible, so some of those nice-to-have guns don't need to be replaced. So--probably the Hi-Power and Anaconda are at the top of my list to actually own again. Note that I didn't mention any SIGs other than the P230 and no Glocks at all? |
