Has to be the one that got me interested in GUN's .... A gift from an uncle... model 1886 Bullard in 38/45.....

What a wretched question to have to ponder! I really like several of my firearms. I guess this Smith Corona Model 1903-A3 is the favorite. I've had it since I was a kid. It's my first centerfire rifle, first two deer were taken with it, first rifle I used in high-power competition.

You aint seen nothin...its worse now.

My Pardini SP with UltraDot. It just shoots more better than I do. It's also the easiest target pistol to take apart (one allen screw under the muzzle). I am also very found of my Beretta 686 single barrel trap gun.

If it is not a gun it would have to be my 2002 Tetsuo Matsuda Violin with one of my two bows: a David Samuels, or a Pierre-Yves Fuchs. All are multiple Violin Society of America Gold Medal winners. The Matsuda is the match of many much more expensive violins I have played including a $675,000.00 Nicolo Amati. The Amati was sublime however, Imagine playing an instrument made 10 years before J.S. Bach was born.

My favorite has to be this factory engraved Colt 1851 Navy carried by Union Army Captain John Lowry during the Civil War. This gun was part of American history. This gun saw things that we can only dream of. This gun will remain with me until the day I die, which hopefully will not be anytime soon.

Gramps pre-27.
It was his duty piece and passed on to me, my kids next.
Shoots like a dream and reminds of the mettle of the man.

Except for Dad's Police positive made in 1917(will never sell) it would be my Remington Model 121A Fieldmaster that I bought in 1950 and paid out at five dollars a month. It has been on many a squirrel hunt and still is in excellent condition.

I have many guns, but I would have to say my "favorite" would be one of my M1 Garand rifles.

I was in the USAR 1958-1962. The M1 is what I went through basic training with. Yes, some may be better, but it has got to be my favorite.

I have a couple stashed. But today...

This old SA revolver get's the nod...

Early-to-Mid 1970's U.S. Arms Corporation "Abilene" It has an unusual 8.5" barrel. Chambered in .44 Magnum. It's as tight as a Freedom with the deep ocean blue of a Colt. It will handle any "Ruger Load" and I'll have to admit...It's a keeper!

My brand new Red Ryder BB gun. I can shoot it in the house and recycle the ammo.

As cold as it has been here and with the price of ammo, that ain't all bad.


For EDC, Model 19 21/2"
For a sentimental favorite, I would have to say my old Model 58. We've seen the elephant together.
For Purty, I would have to say my 6" blue Model 19
For practical fun, I would choose my Model 17.

Rifle? My version of the Springfield Trapdoor Officer's Model.

I have a certain affinity for my Model 15-3 circa 1971-72 w/original matching stocks.

Mine would be one of my 39-2 S&W, Browning Superposed (Diana grade)12 ga,(until stolen from me in 1980) or an unfired,P-08 Mauser banner 9mm Luger that a friend picked up in France in a bunker. Favorite rifle, a custom .270 stocked by Byrd Pearson in fancy grade English Walnut and barrel by Bliss Titus,a very good friend(now deceased)

It is a toss up between these two. If I really had to pick it would be the 1911.

I guess if the one you shoot and enjoy the most is the definition of your favorite then my K22 with 6 inch barrel is my favorite. I have shot it more and got more enjoyment out of it then anything else I have.

Now for looks my favorite is my Nickel 27-2 with 6 inch barrel because it just is an awesome looking revolver.

1900 Winchester 97 12 ga "sawed off" truck gun (rattlesnake killer)
1915 Springfied Armory 1911
1918 S&W M1917
1953 S&W K-22
1971 S&W K-38
1929 1903-A1 Springfield Armory
1953 HRA M1 Garand
This are my "go to's for critters, (2 and 4 leg) target shooting and Garand Matches.

I am going to choose a First Generation Colt Single Action Army, that belonged to my Grandfather. It isn't much to look at (it had been granddad working gun when he was employed as a railroad dick) but is still accurate and has a great bore.

If asking what the favorite firearm I bought for myself is that would have to be a .44 Mag that I bought in 1960.


grizz

Its kinda like asking "which is your favorite child or grandchild".

Rule 303

My 2 favorite handguns,they are by far the most accurate tools in my shed.
S&W 686 4 inch .357

my Sig 229 chambered in 357 sig.

That's kinda like asking me who do I like most-my wife or my girlfriend. I like em both but each has it's purpose and it all depends on what I'm in the mood for at any one time.

Right now, I'd have to say my Ruger 22/45 Mark III. (Hope I don't get in trouble for saying "Ruger") Got it about 3 months ago, and it's a blast to shoot. Cheap too

Favorite S&W is my 5" M/29-2, rifle is my pre-64 Winchester M/70 .35 Whelen with Griffin & Howe scope mount, shotgun is my Winchester M/50 Semi-auto 20 ga. with two VR barrels.

I ( and others I know ) believe that you should have one good shotgun, one good handgun, one good rifle and one good .22 rifle. So my answer is my mossberg 500 persuader, glock 19 ( soon to be a bowie tactical glock 19 ), Arsenal sgl20-41 Ak47 and yes my mp15-22. Although, If I had to grab just one it would be the ultra reliable Arsenal Ak47. I could drop it in a mud hole, pull it out a year later,and it would fire better!!!!!!

This one's my current favorite - a Marlin Camp Carbine .45 ACP. I've since put in a heavier recoil spring and added a cheap red dot sight. I keep it in my work ride and shoot it a couple of times a week.

Every man deserves one good gun a good dog and a good wife in that order.

The last one I bought

ha ha. mail order brides are coming back in a big way

im currently saving my pennies for either a FN SCAR or a trustee HK MR556. not sure what one ill end up with but what the hell.

My favorite is my S&W 1911, although the rest are a close second.

Colt Custom Combat Ten 10mm. It's electroless nickle on a plain jane military style and fitted at the factory. Military style grip safety, doesn't work, but I don't care.

This was like choosing for the age old question "If you could have only one gun..." and then I might re-think my choice.
