A walther PPK (black, and not the 360) that I can customize myself... I've heard it has a lousy trigger pull but such things can be fixed and I'll admit I just want to own one 'cuz James Bond makes it look soooo hot
A 1911, I tried the Springfield and liked it but I'm pretty open-minded about the brand. It's just that the 1911 fits my little girly hands better than anything else.
A glock. It's not my favorite gun ever but they're solid and reliable. I want a crimson trace for it, the kind that wraps around the handgrip but NOT the one with the button in the back because my hands are too small. I like the ones where the button is on the front of the grip, behind the trigger.
So yeah, of the many many things I can't afford right now (like razors, toilet paper and food) that's my current daydream. Something nice, dark, and shiny that I can make my own. It's funny because I was gun phobic for a very long time (personal reasons) but after I started going to the range with Brian I just started to really enjoy the sport of it. Now in case you don't know anything about guns, those are all handguns I described so of course the sport I'm referring to is target shooting, not hunting. I could never do that, although I'm plenty supportive of respectful, responsible hunters. The deer population (especially where I live) is out of control, and hunting is by far the most humane and natural solution short of giving them back all the habitat we already destroyed...which I don't see happening. I also would never keep a gun in my home, since statistically that would dramatically increase the liklihood of me getting shot. It's just that I find target shooting to be very enjoyable, and like all my experience with weapons (hello, fencing) once I discover I like it I want to practice all the time. Only in PA though, the gun laws in NYC (not to mention the fees for indoor ranges) are bogus. Really bogus.
More on this later.
