At this point in life, I won't know I want it until I see it and I still may pass.

I hope to find the one I can't live without. Not sure what that might be until I see it...and hold it. It will probably be a turn of the
Century-ish Parker (I like the era's engraving) with Damascus (or Bernard) barrels, light in weight, with a straight/splinter/two triggers, high dimensions configuration (and open chokes). Who knows, I may just find it.

The more i've thought about Craig's post the more sense it makes. Thinking back, none of my favorite guns are guns I went after, trying to find. All of them were offered to me by friends, either close by, or long distant internet friends, or i just happened upon them.

Reminds me of an old saying that....."You'll back over more good luck than you'll ever run down".

Fun, ain't it?
