    Mine are irrational because I've owned them and sold them, but I do wish I could buy back my Browning Citori and Beretta 391 teknys. I was smashing trap and sporting clays with them.

    One of these days I want a Smith 52 and/or 952. My grandpa had a 52 briefly but I didn't get a chance to shoot it.

    I’m an absolute fool for a Performance Center anything. I don’t consider it a character flaw, more a mark of discernment. I’ll be bidding on that 952. As soon as I can get these oven mitts my wife duct taped to my hands off.

    And of course I had a Smith & Walther PPK/s, and it was 1) too heavy for it’s size, 2) very, very accurate, and 3) cut the heck out of the web of my shooting hand. I almost bought a .22LR one off gunbroker three or four times while reading this thread.

    Also, I know it’s not a firearm, but that Umarex MP40 BB gun won’t stop calling my name. All I can think about lately is Where Eagles Dare.

    I don't remember if I've posted this earlier in this thread, but I mentioned it in another, so might as well put it where it belongs:

    One of my irrational firearm desires is a custom build in 6mm Remington AI. I'm led to believe you can get the worthwhile bullets to feed through a short-action Howa action, whereas a 700 requires the long action. But that's just something I read on the internet. If I had a long-distance coyote problem or was serious about long-range machining of paper, there might be a practical application for it, but as the world is, I can't figure out what I would do with it that I can't do just as well with a .260 Rem or .223.

    Let's add a B&T USW SBR, if I haven't already.

    A B&T APC 45 is now high on my want list...for reasons I can’t hope to adequately describe. I just think it would make a good compliment to my non-existent HKs in .45.
