No Annaconda here, sorry.
I have a hodge-podge of guns & rifles...bought with no thought of collectability or future value. I would see a gun and if I thought it would be fun to have/shoot, then I'd buy it. I don't have two of any gun. I've never known much about gun values, etc. I grew up in hunting country, No. Dakota, where the emphasis was on rifles & shotguns...rarely saw a handgun as a kid.

I have a few NIB handguns, but nothing special - 'cept the Python...and I did buy it to shoot pigs but never got around to it.
I have a Browning Hi-Power 9mm (Belgium) NIB among my NIBs...but my favorites to shoot are the following: (show & tell)
.
AMT .22 Mag. I've dropped a few varmints w/this one. Really fun to fire and quite accurate...an easy handler but more plosive than a .22 LR. You can feel the power difference...fun rig.

Garcia FI .380. Not very accurate beyond 15-20 yrds,, but again, easy handler. When I pack, it's either this or the S&W .38 (below).

This is the only shrouded hammer I have. S&W Mod. 638 Alloy. I checked out the story on this one by contacting Elliot Bros. in S. Carolina. They ordered 500 from S&W in Nov., 1989. E. Bros. sold out the guns in Feb., 1990 and apparently no more of these were to be constructed. I paid $370 for it in Dec., 1989.
It jumps quite a bit, but it's my most often carry.

Not really a "gun guy".
