Some good choices but he left off the Colt Python. :o

And, I would take a Colt Detective Special over the Chiefs Special. And I want my 1911 in 10mm please since there is only one on the list. That or swap out the Glock 22 for a Glock 20.
Speaking of 10mm, you should see the article on stopping power in this months American Rifleman. About 16 different rds of 40 cal and 21 or so of 45 ACP tested. Of 10mm........ONE.......135 gr Double Tap load. That's it........ >:(
I'm not a collector. I feel uncomfortable if the things I own are not useful. So, my bucket list for physical things holds little.
I've been fighting not to have a Colt SAA on my list. I'd love to have one to relive my childhood when we ran around the block with cowboy cap pistols. My state allows open carry, so I'd run around my property with it.
But, if I bought one, I'd have to have another to fit the two-gun holster I'd need. I'd have to have a cowboy hat and boots. Then a horse becomes mandatory.
It would be fun, but ... I don't want to think about it. :D
I'd love a Les Baer Monolith Heavyweight 10mm

IF, there ever comes a time you have to
worry about that, a pair of hog-legs and a horse may be the only things separating you from extinction. Boots and hat optional.
My current wish list is fairly simple... and I'm sure you will spot the unifying theme ;-)
Glock 20 Gen2 10mm
Colt Delta Elite 10mm 1911
Dan Wesson Titan 10mm 1911
Kimber Eclipse Custom II 10mm 1911
Springfield Armory Omega 10mm 1911
S&W 1006 10mm
Bren Ten 10mm
S0nspark, you gotta get a Witness on that list. You may not like them, but with a Witness present, you would have every major style of 10mm represented.
EdMc, when did you Rifleman arrive. I haven't seen that issue yet.

Yep ... I'm just trying to decide on one I like :-)

That is weak sauce by Rifleman to only include that one round.
Talk about reinforcing a false stereo-type.

A bit surprising that penetration was stressed so much at the end... but maybe that was just for the sake of those who prefer to carry mouse guns. :-)

Lame, lazy, pick your adjective. Since they sampled Double Tap they can't use 'the ammo isn't easy to find' excuse either.
You'd at least think they would have tested a 180 grain for comparison to 40 cal, if nothing else. I mean, why bother to include just one load of 10mm. There is no rational explanation.

It is a industry conspiracy to further marginalize our favorite caliber!!!
j/k
It does suck, though. I would have loved to see some Underwood ammo in there :-)
My bucket is fairly full although there are many not in my collection.
On the LIST are...
Glock 20SF or 4th Gen
M&P 10mm
Had some hopes for the VLTOR Bren Ten (Vapor Ware) or a real Bren Ten if the right deal is even found? ;D
That list is too Colt heavy.
That "bucket list" is obviously generated by someone interested in old-school collector pieces, plus a Glock 22 (why the 22 of all choices?).
Everyone's different, of course, but only a few of those spark my interest at all any more. I've moved on to more interesting choices, personally, and tend to sell the guns I've got to buy the ones I want more, unless they're just unreasonably expensive. My current collection consists of a very small but carefully chosen selection, which I'm pretty happy with and own because they fit my uses. Just off-hand, here's a few that would make my "bucket list", which doesn't include anything I've already owned.
- Freedom Arms in 475 Linebaugh
- MP5 pistol/smg
- Ruger MkII integrally suppressed

I've been doing the same over the last year. A Poly Tech AK will be the next to go....
Not familiar with a Ruger MkII integrally suppressed?

Silencer is an integral part of the gun; on the Ruger it can be made to match the receiver diameter. I already have a .22 can that I swap between various guns, but an integral would be sweet. Partly for the stealth look, partly for the long sight radius, while still being quiet. Like this: http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/80144-Ruger-mark-III-integral-suppressor?p=479369&viewfull=1#post479369 (http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/80144-Ruger-mark-III-integral-suppressor?p=479369&viewfull=1#post479369)
My current setup looks a little more obvious: (actually, that's an old pic, I'm back to the stainless Browning barrel shortened to 4", it's more accurate than the Tactical Solutions was.)

I knew better.......I really did. Every time I talk to you I get separated from more of my money. :P
Seriously, that Ruger in the link is way cool. I can see the allure.......obviously I need to keep up with what's new.
I think everybody needs a .22 supressor at least. As long as they are legal in your state (they are in most states) it's no big deal; you can get one for about the same cost as a new 22 pistol, including the $200 tax stamp. There's a little paperwork involved, but not too bad. Then, you get all your .22 pistols and rifles threaded for it, and use it on whatever you want.

I actually had a opertunity to buy a MP5 10mm clone for a great price but that was while I had money placed waiting on the Bren Ten (VaporWare) from VLTOR... :'(
I know a guy that has an MP5 for sale. This is an NFA version, so I am not sure the price falls in the category of "reasonable". I think he still has him M-60 too.
