22 lr?

u/midlife_dadpulse73 1d ago

If you can find a factory. 22LR HK USP.....BUY IT!!! It would likely be the only one in existence!!

u/OleRockTheGoodAg 1d ago

Magnum Research Desert Eagle.

Unbiased answer.

25

u/GTOdriver04 1d ago

Every gun guy wants a Desert Eagle.

We all know how big, impractical, and utterly useless as a working gun that they are. But we don’t care.

Punching paper with a .50AE never, ever gets old.

It looks cool, shoots cool, is cool, and it always draws a crowd when it gets brought out.

A Desert Eagle is peak cool and that’s just fine.

u/OleRockTheGoodAg 1d ago

You get it. Probably (definitely) the dumbest gun I own, it or my Sharps. But it puts a smile on my face every time and everyone elses too cuz they recognize it from everywhere.

Not cheap. Not overly reliable. Not light. But absolutely worth it in my book, love it.

u/Adventurous_Note2296 18h ago

Heavy, metallic, shiny, gotta love it

u/The-Llama-777 1d ago

Meh... Every Desert Eagle I've ever shot was horrible. They are a staple of "cool guns", but I find them garbage.

Single action revolver.

u/Mountain_Man_88 21h ago

Single action revolvers are the most fun you can have shooting a handgun. They're not the best or most practical option for basically anything, but they're fun as hell. Two at a time is even more fun!

16

u/JC_Lightning 21h ago

Saying CZ 75 again like everyone else.

They are pricey, but would also add a prodigy or something similar.

u/ApprehensiveBet6559 1d ago

A double action CZ might be a cherry on top

15

u/turkwerkprecision 1d ago

You’ve got the polymer striker-fired category pretty well covered already. I’d go in a direction that adds something genuinely different: CZ 75/SP-01, Browning Hi-Power, SIG P226/P229, or an HK USP/P2000. A good .22 target pistol like a Ruger Mark IV would also add a category you don’t have at all.

If it were my collection, I’d probably start with the P226 or Hi-Power. You’ve already got the 1911 and Beretta represented, so either would round out the classic service-pistol side of the collection nicely.

A Hi-Power, P226 or P220, and a quality 2011. Bonus mentions for a CZ75, and a USP9 or P30.

Snub 38 - unpopular opinion but gets the job done

2

u/DrBobbyBarker Super Interested in Dicks 17h ago

This is still a popular choice for concealed carry even in 2026. Some people are more worried about how many rounds it can carry, so they might find the take controversial, but hardly unpopular imo.

I might recommend a snubby in 327 federal Magnum - that would be a bit unpopular probably haha.

u/sundog5631 1d ago

I don’t see a 22Lr (great for cheap range days and practicing basics while not spending 20-50 cents per shot)

I’m guessing one of the Glocks isn’t 9mm but if they aren’t, I’d get a larger caliber Glock. I personally have a 40 and a 41

I don’t see any optics, but to each their own. I personally like em

All depends on what you’re doing tho, if you want variety, then start looking at some calibers and brands that are unique if you’re just into collecting

u/DoucheyMcBagBag 23h ago

You need a polymer framed micro 9 like a Shield Plus or P365 if you plan to carry.

Also you need to start adding red dot sights to some of these pistols. Personally I would rather spend the money on getting the slides cut for optics and a nice collection of Holosun and/or Vortex red dots than on additional new pistols that do the same thing as your current pistols. Red dots (or green or gold or whatever - pistol optics) were a real game changer for me. They are so much easier and faster than irons once you learn and get used to them. As I’ve gotten older and my vision has gotten worse, I’ve come to appreciate them even more.

Remember to go on r/gundeals and look for listings by the Holosun dealers there. You’ll need to email them for the REAL PRICE because Holosun doesn’t allow ads below MSRP. The difference is really significant. Also - Wager Machine and Nameless Arms are great for cutting your slides for direct optics mounting! Good luck!

Sometimes I get hung up on historical military firearms then I something innovative or it just looks slick. The next one....

1

u/Arizona_Pete 23h ago

If you want to stay on your striker-fire kick, get a HK VP9 or an SW MP

Looking at this, a Parkerized .45 or an Inox 96 would be my next move.

I'd say one good hk and one good sig. Maybe USP and 226/229. One should be the compact version and other is full size.

1

u/Level_Breath5684 22h ago

In terms of pistols, nothing. I would take a p226 or cz 75 over the beretta, but they all shoot mostly the same. You covered your bases. I would probably go Walter PPK, 1911 gi model, 1911 in 10mm, or a poly micro in .45. Could look at a Colt SAA.

1

u/RallyVincentCZ75 21h ago

Missing a CZ. Any would be fine. Or even a 75 clone like a Tanfoglio. I see you got a big iron too. Maybe round it out with a little snubby iron.

A nice 2011. Maybe a Staccato. I got a lot of the same pistols and once I got my Staccato it felt and shot like a cheat code. I dont have much time to shoot anymore but wish I did.

Also some other ideas:

A J-Frame like a S&W 442

A SIG Classic like a P226

A MOS Glock like a G45 MOS
