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

Looks straight out of Hellboy!

First time seeing this modern design, will look into it. I’ve always been intrigued with the design of the LeMat. It definitely went against the grain for today, much less the period it was developed

I think it is just a digital picture/idea. If they start making them I may have to sell a kidney. :)
I think a LeMat made using .327 around a 20 gauge and not top break would work better. It would probably be heavy but I bet fun to shoot.

When 21 year old me was buying my first handgun, I had it narrowed down to the 52 and the 5904. I let the shop owner talk me out of the 52. In truth, the 5904 was a better choice for me at the time, but I've kicked myself ever since I learned how special the 52 was. The idea of the 952 has always interested me. Maybe one day I'll get to shoot one.

Not even close to a 52. I once had Irv Stone build me 3 barrels for a 52 in 9mm. I then fed it with 39 mags. It was amazing!!!!!!! WAS being the operative word....seller's Remorse.

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! 😍

Perhaps the MP5 9mm ?

Something full auto & suppressed, but then the govt would know too much. Maybe an MP5 or some sort of submachine gun.

I’ve been through quite a number of Smith semi-autos, including a 5944. In my case, I think it would have been a mistake to begin that journey with a 52. ;)
 
I was lucky enough to actually acquire and to be the caretaker for many years of one of my unicorn guns.
A 1937 Colt National Match in like new condition....I guess now a similar condition late 30's Colt Super Match .38 would be my next unicorn.

I recall Doug, he is a licensed dealer speaking about it, took him a while to locate one, it was expensive.

I have seen a few come up for sale, around 1500-2000

A talking piece, but not worth it to me, personally. Hell, even if I was rich, not worth it.

Sorry, I got nothing for this thread. Anything I ever wanted I found eventually and got it.

That’s why my want was one that apparently can’t be owned by civilians.

I dont know, brother. I think it's all about upbringing and I wasnt brought up to piss money away on expensive things with little use. And, no matter how neat it might SEEM, a briefcase to only hold a MP5 has little use to me and 99.999999999999999999% of humans on Earth in the last 40 years.

Wether or not it will have use in the next 40 is the real question.. I may wager to say that answer could be different.

If it has a use I think just wielding the HK will be acceptable ha
 
Not a unicorn because I had one.
But a M-3 .50 BMG on a pedestal mount.
It was fun but I let it go. I had the mount in the back of an F-150.
Sorry, I forgot this was about pistols. 😜
