If You Could Have One Gun...

#1 Post by tony89 »

Just a bit of fun but I started pondering this the other day and I wondered what you guys would say:

Imagine you could have any gun - what would it be and why?

For the purposes of the question also imagine that licensing/legality/ammunition/cost/maintenance are no issue - it's all legal and you have the gun for free (but you can't resell it).

I still haven't decided myself, although I feel curiously drawn to some kind of revolver for some reason - must be the Dirty Harry in me!

Cheers.

The purpose of the gun would be?

That would be a big determinant in deciding.

That's for you decide - whether it be for target shooting, hunting, or, since in the scenario licensing/legality isn't an issue - self defence. Or any other purpose you can think of.

I would have two, the pair of superimposed load, waterproof wheel lock holster pistols made by Pierre Bergier of Grenoble for Louis Dauphin of France.

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.
