Most desired non-roster handgun?

[Jason_R]

Kel-Tec P3AT... lot's of 'em.

Why!?

[Travis]

Which brand new, non roster handgun would not last long enough in the "Firearms Sale Forum" for the screen to refresh before someone said "I'll take it"? And 20 other poster would cuss the guy who got it? And 10 other people would PM the seller offering him more money for?

This describes every handgun made if it was offered at the right price. Even Hi-Points will fly off the shelf if you priced them right ($75/ea)...

No, I understood this to mean those guns that will fly off the shelf because of what they are, or scarcity, even at obscene prices, that sell for 1/2 in 'free' states.

Dan Wesson CBOB in 10mm.

Stripped Stag lowers purchased as pistols out of state (with manufacturers letter) and registered with the DOJ as such.

I think those 100$ lowers would go for 400-500 easy. (I know cause I want one)

Series 70 1911 that Colt is making again.

If only!

The actual USMC DET-1 marked pistol, no. However, there was one to be had at Reno for a mere $4500.

I recall there was a Calguns member who recently either had a DET-1 for sale, or could get a DET-1, I apologize for not remembering who it was or the exact details, but I remember telling myself "WOW THATS COOL!!!"

By the looks of this thread, there are no off-list handguns that "will fly off the shelf because of what they are, or scarcity, even at obscene prices, that sell for 1/2 in 'free' states".

My point demand is impacted by pricing as much as the product itself. I would guess there are no current production guns available in the free world that are immune to pricing concerns.

Actually, as the previous guy pointed out, Stag AR receivers registered as pistols... and for that matter, Nodak Spud NDS-6 pistol lowers, both of those would get easily twice what they run for in free states. $230 for an AR pistol lower? Not a big deal. $110 for an AK pistol lower? Also not a big deal.

I'm not sure if many people would call a $230 or even $500 AR pistol lower "obsene". Sure, as a percentage of price, they would fetch a great profit. However, in real dollars, probably no big deal.

Stoeger Cougar (9mm or .40S&W)

At half the price of a Beretta Cougar ($350), these would sell really well.

Only difference between the two? Manufacturer name changed to Stoeger. Same tooling, same pistol.

Beretta Cougar is still on the approved list, the Stoeger has been denied a few times. (According to email I received from Stoeger)

I need to get one or more of the military or commercial examples
to round out the collection.
Only available by PPT.
Not rare but apparently few available
in NorCal based on my years of unproductive search.
Cannot be listed though.
