Way back when...
Others were drinking deep of the M&P Kool-Aid.
I wanted to drink too.
Marv has drank with his M&P9.
Harvey has drank with her M&P357.
I'm still thirsty.
I guess I am too much of a Glock fanboi or something.
Actually it's because there are so many shinier options out there that I can't seem to settle down and save for a gun they're still making while there's desirable guns to snag before they reach Country Club levels of appreciation. Like all the AR's...
A unicorn gun of mine for a while was a Colt Anaconda in .45 Colt. I originally had a brand new 4" one way back in 1992 for the princely sum of $450. Have you looked lately? I was happy to replace it with a 6" for $1,100 in late 2007 and prices seem to have continued to climb.
It came to me that I am happy I bought my Garand when I did. This is because I remember when I couldn't afford a $450 Blue Sky in '94. What are those running now? I paid $1,250 for a shooter. And that was just a couple three years ago. Prices seem to be holding steady because some people are buying Garands from the Civilian Marksmanship Program and then flipping them for a profit.
I remember wanting all manner of surplus rifles over the years and watching the prices remain just out of reach despite my income increasing.
It has a chilling effect on wanting a new gun.
