pitching wedge?

This is going to sound really stupid... I just realized I don't have a pitching wedge!

When I took up golf 2 summers ago, I had some clubs that a neighbor gave me, but no wedges. So I went to a shop and picked out a wedge, knowing nothing about what I was doing. It happened to be a 60* lob wedge. I didn't even know what the 'L' stood for! Sometime later, I bought what I thought was a pitching wedge, a 52* wedge. I always used the lob in bunkers, but fairly recently I acquired a 56* sand wedge. I thought that was it for wedges. But I've discovered that the 52* club isn't a PW at all; it's a GAP wedge. Since there's a 4* difference between the other wedges, I think I'd like a PW with 48* of loft. But I'm only seeing 50* wedges in shops. Should 48* PWs be available?
