Here are two handguns on my wishlist

This week, Weerd Beard and I discuss some of the guns that are in current production that we have on our wish list. I really want the new Steyr S9A1 9mm pistol, as well as an uncommon S&W Model 586.

The Steyr offers a very sculpted grip frame, which gives people with smaller hands the ability to control a fairly large handgun, along with a very low bore axis that makes it easy to control.

The 586 is a classic revolver from Smith & Wesson and one that would be at home in a self-defense role. It could also be pressed into hunting medium game with the proper loads.

Weerd Beard would love to see a Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull, as well as a S&W 629 with a 2-inch barrel.

It’s an interesting topic to discuss what we want as handgun buyers. Have a favorite or a wishlist of your own? Leave a comment below or email ryan@handgunradio.com and give your input.
