Of the small collection of guns I have, my favorite amongst them all would probably be my Magnum Research Desert Eagle MK. XIX in .50 AE. This pistol continues to amaze me for an automatic. Anyone else have a favorite in their personal collections?

mine would have to be a k-22, I have shot it weekly for the last 37 years.

The top one. Even though the bottom one shoots better as I recall.

My M1 Garand.

Model 58..1973 mfg.

On the range, favorite is firing my P-38 P-1, but for carry: Officer's .45acp.

great selection guys. i like to see the diversity in weapon choices.

I have too many "favorites".

My current favorite is a pre-17 that I bought a few weeks ago.

Probably my all-time favorite is a 4" Model 66 that I've owned for 24 years. It's the last gun I'll ever sell.

Colt Commander-given to me by a fellow Infantryman-now its all tricked out.

I have many guns and can not pick a favorite. I like them all for various and different reasons. Some I inherited, rest I bought because I thought I needed them for a purpose, or just liked their looks or reputation. Now, there are some I bought that I knew I could make money on that I am less attached to. I could narrow it down if asked and told for what reason or purpose. If a gun saved my life, it would be a no brainer.

Favorite rimfire rifle is a Marlin 39A I bought with money earned selling boiled peanuts in 1960 or 61. Favorite centerfire rifle is a Savage 99A in .250-3000 I bought in about 1973. Favorite shotgun is a Parker 20 gauge Trojan Model I inherited from my Daddy, who inherited it from his Uncle, who purchased it in about 1916.

Favorite handgun varies. Right now it is the 62 year old K-22 I bought last week. For a while it was a .45 Colt S&W Mountain Gun. Then, it was a Model 63 S&W. From time to time, a WWII/Korea era 1911A1 takes precedence over all the others.

Is that specific enough?

dang. giving us a total breakdown was great. i totally understand that finding a favorite is a hard thing to do. especially when one has many firearms that he/she loves. i guess i shouldnt have been so vague on the title?

still loving the selections here. i find it very interesting none the less.

and by the way, i love that Marlin!

One of these, pick one, it really doesn't matter which.

Ok, I will play. 1st, this was dads winchester model 61 octogon barreled .22lr that he bought in the late 1930s and helped feed our family with on a ranch in oregon. He taught me to shoot with it when I was a boy.



I bought this winchester 94 30/30 new in about 1956 when I was 15 and shot some deer with it.


This S&W 5" model 29-2 .44 mag has been a favorite for close to 40 years. As has the 5" 27-2 I bought new with my name engraved in gold, done by S&W factory about the same time, my favorite pair.

I was thinking of all the wonderful hand guns and rifles I am fortunate to own and if I could only own 1 and only 1 It too may be my Garand.
I have an unfired Enfield No4Mk1,,, That one is close as well as my 4" model 27 or my 53' K22....
Favorite Huh????
Cant decide just yet.

I've got all kinds of guns, long and short, but I would have to honestly say my favorites would be my M1 rifles.

I don't shoot them as much as I would like because of the ammo/primer/powder shortage, but they are the very last ones I would ever want to part with.

For carry, M36/M60 snubbies, all the rest are just fun to play with.

Fisrt gun I ever bought back in 1981 a Model 63-will be the last to go.

My father's old Stevens 94F in 16 gauge.

I learned to shoot with it, and it is still just as reliable today as it was when he bought it new.

It's light, handy, American made, it isn't tactical, and it was Dad's...
What's not to love?

I concur. Nice gun.

For shooting, my Dan Wesson Commander Bobtail .45ACP. For carrying, my S&W 340 M&P and /or 442.

My 25-2 6 inch 45 ACP

My absolute favorite handgun? A four-screw K-38 with 6" barrel. This is the "sweetest" firearm I own. Amazingly accurate, perfect SA trigger pull, superb DA trigger pull, looks great.

Second favorite, and more practical, is a 4 screw Combat Magnum with 4" barrel. Regular carry gun. Almost as accurate as the K-38.

Favorite rifle? Some version of a 6.5 Swedish Mauser.

I have "safe queens" , some I plan to shoot, some I shoot often , Some that will stay "NIB" I have a 500 S&W mag 8 3/8 bbl unfired, 629-5 4" bbl unfired, 617-6 6 shot 6' bbl unfired, 60-6 snub unfired, 629-7 8 3/8 unfired, Colt Stainless Custom "enhasened" Gov Mdl in 45 acp unfired, Remington PSS 308 with a Leuopld 6 X 20 efr unfired but soon will be as soon as i get my brass and loads prepped. Custom Remington 40x in 22 its my match gun gets shoot often, Ruger Mark " slab-side" stainless gets shot often, Ruger semi-custom 10-22 with Leuopold 2x7 gets shoot often=a plinker, Mossburg 500 with I am building unfired, Colt 6600c match target AR-15 with lots mags unfired..........that most of them........My favorite is my 629-3

My favorite is always the next one.

It's like asking which is your favorite child. I like em all.

I have the most affection for my Remington 870 Magnum "Standard Deer Gun" (that's what it says on the box ) which I bought new in the late 80s. Much nicer than the 870 Express, which I suspect was designed to meet Wal-Mart's price demands. I own more valuable firearms then that old 870, but none can touch it for memories and practicality.

First year production .250/3000, with special order features.



My beater First Model HE .44

Favorite shotgun is a Husqvarna 310 side by side; sorry, no photo

Like most of you, I have a lot that I enjoy shooting or looking at. I have 2 favorites and they would be an old beat up Remington 22 rifle that my dad taught me to shoot with and an equally worn Ithaca 12 gauge double that had belonged to my great uncle who taught me all about hunting, fast cars, bars, etc. My dad bought it from my uncle and it was his last gun.

A 1917 vintage commercial Colt 1911. It was Grampa's, then Dad's, now mine. Grampa and Dad shot competitive Bullseye with it and there is no telling how many thousands of rounds have been down the pipe. I remember the very first time I was allowed to shoot it. Grampa drove us down a dirt road on the outskirts of Raymond, NH and we put some old cans up on a wooden fence. Grampa had it stoked with his competition loads, an H&G #130 over some tiny charge of Hercules Bullseye. Real softball loads they were, but I was 8 years old and had only shot .22's up to that point. Old slab sides made quite an impression on this kid.

Grampa was the one that soldered on the Patridge front and bobbed the hammer. No doubt killed any collector value, but no matter... It's priceless to me.

Winchester single shot .410 It's my first shotgun, handed down from my grandfather to my dad to me. Every time I go hunting with it, it feels like I'm hunting with my grandfather again.

All original Ithaca 1911A1

I have many favorites, but this is on top, my Winchester, factory scoped, model 63.



This is my all time favorite S&W, my .45 cal of 1950, Pre 26.

I really can't pick one. My Remington nylon 10C was given to me by my Dad on my 21st birthday, so it's really special. My 4" M29-2 might be my favorite revolver. My 70 series bright nickel Government Model, with throated barrel, is by far my favorite auto. Oops, scratch all that, I don't own any guns.

S&W Model 19 4" barrel, factory grips. I think that it is the most beautiful handgun ever made.

As far as handguns go any one of these.



Now as far as rifles go it has to be my C. Sharps 45-90

My Remington 870 - simple and effective!

It would be my Ruger Mark II. It will always be in the range bag.
