Those who know me know that I am a utilitarian person by nature, especially when it comes to guns. I don’t all misty eyed and nostalgic for classic 1911’s and wheel guns and I’m the last person you want to own something of historic nature. Because Imma gonna shoot the damned thing.
That isn’t to say I don’t have… yearnings. I think we all do. However, my frugalness (read – broke ass) generally prevents me from spending money on things that would be more akin to toys than real gear.
But what if it didn’t? What 5 firearms would I purchase, should price nor practicality be an issue?
#5 – Smith & Wesson Model 500
I’m a recoil junkie, and the thought of launching a half in projectile from a handgun makes me all tingly where my pants would be if I wore them.
#4 – A Tactilite 50BMG upper
Speaking of halves of inches, nothing quite ‘reaches out and touches someone’ than 14,000 ft. lb. of energy travelling at 2,800 feet per second. My shoulder aches at the thought, but it’s aches of joy.
#3 – Gyrojet
Three words. Rocket. Propelled. Bullets.
#2 – Coonan .357 Magnum
My lust for a Deagle in .357 Magnum was replaced when I discovered the Coonan. I have a soft spot in my heart for .357 Magnum (technically speaking, my heart is soft enough so that any round would damage it) and this is my fantasy list, so I don’t have to justify myself to you Mr. Whydon’tyougeta38superinstead.
#1 – Last and certainly not least, the KRISS VECTOR
I love the way the rifle looks. It’s rare to get me to enjoy something aesthetically like the Kriss does. Plus, I could actually use it. I think it would make a swell home defense weapon. .45 ACP is a perfectly valid Goblin-stopper, the short length makes it good for close quarters (which my house is), the recoil system, while better suited for full auto, would help accuracy, and I could put a red dot and a can on it for safer operation.
What about you? What 5 guns do you lust after?

Ok, I'll bite. All mine are handguns, but that's because long guns, for me, are all about utility, where handguns are an obsession.
1) Commander size 1911 in 9mm, bobtail, aluminum frame, no-snag sights (Novak?). I would use it for CC. Why? Because... well just because.
2) Freedom Arms Model 97, .357Mag, 3 or 3 ½” barrel, fixed sights, round butt. Because I think it would be a nice little packing pistol.
3) Coonan .357 Mag. I know it seems like I'm a copy cat, but ever since I saw one in a magazine as a kid I wanted one.
4) 1911 Longslide 10mm. Once again, saw one when I was a kid and just loved it. The one that started this obsession off was the AMT Javalena. I know that those are pretty rare now days and weren’t really all that great back in the day, so I’m thinking of building an approximation of one instead of searching for the “real thing”. I know someone who has a slide/barrel off a Javalena built onto a Caspian frame, but we haven't had a chance to go out shooting yet, and he isn't selling.
5) S&W Model 24, 2 ½” or 3”. I would like one that still has a lot of pretty bluing left. Mostly because I like the .44 Special, and I love the lines on the Model 24. Sure, I could just get a Model 29 and shoot Specials in it instead of Mags. Probably for less money, but it just wouldn’t be the same.

Its kind of bizarre, but I wouldn't have any of the guns you listed. A friend of mine has a S&W 500 and its just not that handy a handgun and not that great a short rifle. Meh. And the Coonan's I have seen don't work well.
The rest too, I have no desire for.
My five guns - other than the ones I already have - are:
1 - Remington 51 pocket automatic
2 - SIG P210 pistol
3 - SIG AMT rifle
4 - Ballard No. 5 Pacific single shot BP cartridge rifle
5 - Fallschirmjagergewehr 42 (although I can't make up my mind between the early and late varients)

Being the po' boy that I is, most firearms I'd like are just dreams. Except for the ones I now own.
The 'dream' guns...
1) Coonan .357 'cuz I've always forever wanted a .357 mag pistol that looks like a pistol instead of Star Wars set pieces.
2) Ruger .44 mag design chambered in .357 so it goes along with the Coonan (I DID say 'dream' guns, didn't I? and it's MY dream)
3) A short bolt action in .357 (can't have too much 'ammo commonality in guns)
4) Ruger Security Six in...oh, .357 (you got it- it's in my cabinet now)
5) Lever action rifle in, of all things, .357. Make it a Marlin (since that's the one I have) but Winnie or Henry would be fine as well. Maybe the Winnie or Henry barrel won't start warping after ten rounds and throwing the lead wherever it chooses. (So a rebarrel is on order for the Marlin.)
Still, I do have 'other' weapons- over flowing cabinet testifies to that (as does my paranoia about home intrusion), but these are the Dream Team. Thanks for asking.

Thank you for the meme! The well was pretty dry this morning. :)
(Although I would just like to note in passing that I find it very slightly amusing that the gun at the top of the "no budget, no excuses, no reason, just because" list gets a paragraph of justification for its utility. Dude, you really need to just figure out a way to get one. Sell something else or whatever, but scratch that itch. ;))

I'll bite. I caught this via Bayou Renaissance Man, and I explained my list at Gun Blog Meme: Five Firearms
1. Anzio Ironworks mag-fed 20mm rifle with suppressor: the coolest two-stamp gun around...the only way it could be cooler is if it were semi-auto!
2. Solothurn S-18/1000 20mm rifle: classic
3. Browning M2: well, make it four of 'em in an anti-aircraft mount
4. MP5SD: the 2nd coolest two-stamp gun; well, if you had a Fleming auto sear then you could just get a clone HK91 and a clone MP5SD and swap the sear between the two...
5. McBros 95 chambered in .950 JDJ: just because it's a monster and would break you in half if you tried to shoot it from the shoulder
The AA12 is a close 6th place, but you really need the little mini grenades to push that into the top 5.
By the way, Robb, I'd favor a Ferret-50 or ALS over a Tactilite, because you should have a firing pin safety to prevent OOBD. Tactilite doesn't have a cam, only a spring. Supposedly ALS fixed their bolt after the reported OOBD. A Barret M82A1 (NOT the A2--I don't care if the A1's 5 ft long, having a .50 going off right on your cheek is not cool) or AR-50 would be even better.
2. Solothurn S-18/1000 20mm rifle: classic
3. Browning M2: well, make it four of 'em in an anti-aircraft mount
4. MP5SD: the 2nd coolest two-stamp gun; well, if you had a Fleming auto sear then you could just get a clone HK91 and a clone MP5SD and swap the sear between the two...
5. McBros 95 chambered in .950 JDJ: just because it's a monster and would break you in half if you tried to shoot it from the shoulder
The AA12 is a close 6th place, but you really need the little mini grenades to push that into the top 5.
By the way, Robb, I'd favor a Ferret-50 or ALS over a Tactilite, because you should have a firing pin safety to prevent OOBD. Tactilite doesn't have a cam, only a spring. Supposedly ALS fixed their bolt after the reported OOBD. A Barret M82A1 (NOT the A2--I don't care if the A1's 5 ft long, having a .50 going off right on your cheek is not cool) or AR-50 would be even better.
