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
The "10mm" I'm Packin', Has The Bullets Wackin', Smakin' & The Slide is Rackin' & Jackin'!

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

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.
