Just a little difficult to achieve under UK law........................................
You`ll have to go for a `muzzle loader` Vickers.
Mind you, there`s always Alan Westlake - have a look at these:

hmm, I haven't been around handguns long enough and have only seen/read about/handled/shot a few.

Given that, it isn't easy for me to say which ones I would like to own. But heres a few that I definitely want in the near future. When I am old and wise, I will have a 'real' list, but for now, these will do :)

- Have always wanted a black (not two tone) Sig with the DAK trigger (but I already have the Sig P220R DAK so I guess technically it is not on my wishlist anymore)

- A compact 9mm semi-auto (will hopefully have the Kimber Ultra Aegis II in a few weeks, whee.... Also, still waiting :roll: for opinions/recommendations on my question on choosing between the Kimber and the SA in another thread, even though im almost certain about getting the Kimber)

- A medium frame Smith & Wesson in .357 Mag

- A small frame Smith & Wesson in .38 special

And I have to agree with Vikram, the Kimber Super America 1911 is a beautiful beautiful pistol.

Oh, I've got a wish list, that's for sure!

First on my wish list would undoubtedly be the Webley Fosbery Automatic Revolver, especially the target model shown below:

Image

It would be hard to pick with caliber, the 455 Webley or the 38 Colt Auto, but if I can only have one and I can have the long target model shown above, I would prefer 38 Colt Auto.


Second on my wish list would be a nicely made double barrel Howdah Pistol in 577 Snider. I think I would like one with an internal hammer mechanism. One of the Lancaster pistols would do.


Third on my list would be a Colt 1902 Auto in 38 Colt Auto, especially the military style with the square grip and lanyard ring, as below:

Image


Fourth on my list would be the tough Radom wz35 9mm "Vis" such as this one:

Image

As long as I am wishing and can be picky, I want one of the "Polish Eagle" ones produced before Sept 1939 and marked with the White Eagle, as below:

Image


Fifth on my list would be a custom pistol I have long envisioned: It would be a double action revolver based on the Colt New Service frame (larger than the Python), chambered in 38 Special, and be fitted with a custom heavy barrel in the 8" to 10" range. It would be fitted with an optical sighting system. My plans to do this are actually are around the Colt Official Police frame (same as Python), but since this is a "wish list," I will take the big New Service frame instead.

SIG 210
http://www.p210.com/
They are hard to come by and at over USD 2,000 not exactly cheap. DSA arms had imported some, I had an opportunity to buy one at around USD 1,300 just after I had bought a JP Sauer shotgun so I had to let it go. If I had seen it before the JP Sauer I would have bought it. Regret it.

A Glock 19, modified to full auto with a 1000 grit sandpaper scrapping for much, much, much quicker extraction!
