P08, Luger, without a doubt, the best pointing handgun I ever used.

I have only seen these once, many years ago at auction and I fell in love with them and have coveted them ever since as the highest level of the gunmaker's art I have ever seen. If they were ever to come on sale again I suspect they would a tad more than I could afford so your hypothetical post is the only way I could own them even hypothetically.
Just two locks per pistol or more Adam? The waterproof part is intriguing for a wheel lock although I have seen pictures of fully enclosed wheel lock pistols in the past.
Yes two locks per pistol.

Sorry, is the question: if you could have ANY gun you wanted? Or; if you could only have ONE gun?

Just a bit thrown by the people who have mentioned guns that you can legally have now? wtf

Fantasy time; M143 minigun (mounted to my car for dealing with traffic jams lol )

One gun to run them all; probably a 6.5 or .308 AR

Dude ... that is like choosing between your son or your daughter in "Sophie's choice" wallhead
As a rifle defo a Vz58, I guess I'd like to only swap my Semi-Auto for a Full-Auto one and as a pistol, without a shadow of a doubt I would keep my Cz75 P01 Omega.
Want to shoot pistol ? Don't retreat... reload & run forward !!
