What’s your one “unicorn” gun you know you’ll never have?

super easy
Hk mp7

 
Mine are rather simple:

Pistol:
Original Colt SAA
WWII issued 1911

I plan to sooth this itch because I do have access to a more modern Colt SAA and the infamous Colt 1911 of my fathers I idiot marked.

Rifle:
M1 Garand
M1 Carbine

Would love to have a WWII collection of US firearms. But both have gotten so expensive in recent years and "working" guns took precedence over "collectibles"
 
A bring back 1911 that was carried in Belgium in 1918 by a guy with the same name as me. The gun was intended for me when I was born, but I’ll never see it because it was stolen from his house 60 some-odd years ago.
 
As for WW2 weapons, Garands are still pretty reasonable. You can get a nice example (field grade), shipped to your door from the CMP for $650. Of course, they are shipping slow right now due to the Covid backup. And, CMP is about to release a second batch of GI 1911A1s in January.

An Uzi and lots of ammo for it, or one of those smaller guns that shoot full auto that you see in movies, it's like a handgun but a little longer, I have no idea of the name...and lots of ammo for that too! 😍
Do you mean a machine pistol? Automatic pistol with a brace?57EEEE6F-9BBF-4FEA-B599-B91B32341B07.jpeg6E0D602C-322A-4966-BCCD-9DAFC43A03B8.jpeg

This?

Kind of.....they probably made it look "nicer" for the movie, but that's the general shape....in any case, I'd love something like that or the Uzi I shot ......fun stuff!
Edit: and did I mention LOTS of ammo for it/them?

My dad and I watched a lot of The Untouchables.
I always dreamed of owning an authentic Thompson 45 with a drum magazine.

But, I got to handle and shoot one a few years ago.
That satisfied my lust, and made me realize it wasn't what I wanted after all.
edit to add: I guess the Colt Monitor is my new Unicorn, at least until I get to play with one.
