My father had an older (late 70's early 80's) Browning hi-power that really was a purrty gun.
I remember it looking stainless but I also remember him tellin me it was satin nickel, it had a gold trigger adjustable sights and pachmayr grips.
I thought I was gunna get it one day but he sold it :mad:
Ive seen alot of hi powers since then but none of them looked as good to me.
I think I might need a new 9mm now ;)

Dan Wesson in 10 mm. Sounds like what you would want.
For me?
Any Freedom Arms..... the workmanship is enough to make me drool, just looking at the pictures.
A 1911 in 9 mm. To experience the joy of that single action trigger with almost no recoil.
A good cowboy single action revolver in .38 special that I can reload easily for, and shoot all I want...

I didn't notice a BHP or a CZ 75 amidst your collection. That being the case, I'd move to rectify those holes and in that order.

OK:

I think you've got enough guns, now make some of them shoot.

A good place to start is here:

Have the trigger done so it's about 2 lbs.
Shoot it out of a ransom rest, something you should probably buy, and find out how accurate it is.
If it doesn't shoot one hole, or about an inch, ship it off to a great pistolsmith, have him check the cylinder, throat, barrel, etc. and get the gun to shoot.

This one too.

Finally you REALLY need a 22lr tack driving revolver:

Something like either one of these:

Since T didn't feel like reading all 75 enties, I'm going to suggest some stuff that probably has not been mentioned. Older Colts 1911's that were sent to certain custom gunsmiths who did the final assembly and fitting on them. Giles and Dinan come to mind. Very well made bullseye guns and scary accurate. S&W 52's in .38 spl
