I also have a Scandium Model 317 .22 S&W kit gun which is a pretty accurate and practical gun to have around.

I can think of two or three:
One would be a Korth. I've never even seen one but it is Reuter to be the finest revolver in the world.
Another would be a Freedom Arms 353 or 454. These I have seen, and they sure are impressive to a fellow who thinks Colt SAAs are mighty fine.
A must have to me is a Woodsman Sport Model, I think it was the third issue that has the mag release on the frame like a 1911, and a 4-1/2 inch barrel. My grandfather had one, and when he passed my uncle who does not appreciate firearms and doesn't know how to take care of one ended up with it. I have seen it fairly recently and in less than 20 years it has degenerated from near-pristine to scandalously neglected condition. Makes me angry!

Found one this afternoon...well close anyway. An H&R 999 Sprotsman (top break .22) Some pitting, but a nice long barrel and a $350 price tag :shock:. Fortunately for me, It just didnt feel right in my hand (i'd never even held one before
- just like the look and the way it works). So it goes.... CLCMBTshooter

If Sig would make the P220 in 10mm Auto, I'd be first in line. Until then, I think I'm good on pistols. I still might pick up a P229 or Mk25 for the wife (She was in the Navy for 8 years), but I have a hard time spending more than $600 on a pistol. They're a limited use item for me.

Sigs are my passion but if you're in the market for a kick azz 10mm this is it!
Single/double action and fit is second to none!
Eaa Witness I love mine

I think if I was going to buy another semi auto pistol, it would be a Sig-Sauer .40 S&W. They seem really solid and I have a .40 S&W revolver already.

I have the P226 in 9mm. I am thinking of buying the 40 and 357 sig conversion kit for it.

That is the beauty of the Sig system, you can convert to other calibers with a barrel kit. I have smaller hands and would probably buy the single column Model 220 instead.

I have handled a few FA revolvers. Man talk about quality!

Dang this is a tough one. There's the if money were no object category then there's the realistic part.
Realistically i'll say a Ruger SA in .32 H&R Magnum. And if they make a Bisley with a 4 5 /8" barrel
I can die a happy pistol dude.
A pre 29 S&W would be icing on the cake.
If money were no object which implies the time to shoot the things, I'd be a high end collector of all things S&W revolvers

I have 4 Sigs......
P220 in 45acp
P229 in 40S&W
P238 in .380 (actually my wife's)
P238 in 40 S&W
A 155 grainer out of the 40 has zero problems knocking down steel poppers.; I do like them.
