Your “COOLEST” gun?

wood714 · Nov 20, 2021

Hard to choose.

One of my SBR's would probably be amongst the coolest, but my Polytech AK is the one I wanted the longest. And yep it's a real picture of it I took in my living room.

I have always loved my 315NG.

Adding the Spegels only helped its coolness.

I had this Meriden Model 1915 .22pump.
Pretty and Cool.
But then I sold it..

When we have a shooting get together I have three that everyone wants to shoot. The first two are blackpowder, an 1870 Springfield Trapdoor in .50-70 and an 1881 Colt SAA in .45 Colt. The clouds of smoke from these two brings a smile to your face. The third is a little more modern, a Coonan .357. The .50-70 Trapdoor is the top one in the photo.

I have 2 guns that are about as far apart on the technology spectrum as possible but sadly neither are S&W's.

First is a 1878 Springfield Trapdoor. While the gun is not particularly accurate it is a blast to shoot, throwing those huge 405 - 500gr bullets down range and it always draws attention at the range. It is impossible to fire it without envisioning its place and use in history.

Second is my Full Auto HK MP5A2. Completely reliable and extremely accurate for what it is designed to do. Firing it suppressed is even more fun and it won't bankrupt you to exercise it every now and then.

Mine would be my nearly 100 yr old Winchester Model 1911 sl in 12ga.

I have two that consistently make my friends (who are not extreme gun enthusiasts) say wow. My RSR snubby (customized before the Alaskan became available) and my short AR. Now, these are not my favorites, or the ones that I'm most impressed with, but they do shoot great and even I think they're pretty cool.

Doug627 · Nov 20, 2021

That would be my 1936 Serial Number 820 Winchester Model 71 Deluxe in .348 Winchester.

My British Mark VI Webley revolver in the original .455 caliber. One of the local judges who is a member of one of my clubs would probably break his wrist reaching for his checkbook if I told him I was selling it.

"Coolest" is a tricky criterion. I have milsurps that other collectors would find very cool, but then I have modern guns that are cool because of the novel ways they operate.

In the milsurp world, I have a US built Mosin that has been through multiple rebuilds and likely served with Imperial Russia, folk in the Finnish revolution, the Finnish Civil guard and maybe their army in the wars against the Soviet Union. Another candidate would be my Enfield No.1 MkVI rebuilt as a No4 Mk1, one of 1025 or less.

For a modern weapon, I would say my Strike One or one of my Grand Powers are the coolest.

My coolest right now is my Blessed and tuned 3rd gen Colt SAA. Mostly because it is a tack driver. 5 shot groups at 20 yds.

pharmer · Nov 21, 2021

Cool is a 3 1/2" 27-2 from the late '70's. Joe

lihpster · Nov 21, 2021

As of today it would be this one. 28-2 4" with moose grips by bigmtnman. Old school is cool.

Grayfox · Nov 21, 2021

I've got two that are pretty cool.

Top Right: 2nd Model .44 HE. Factory letter shows gun was shipped January 22, 1924 to Police Department, Joplin MO.

Center Right: 3rd Model .44 HE (Post War)
Letter states this gun was shipped July 22, 1946 to George Lawrence Co. Portland Oregon ordered for John H. Young, Portland Police Dept.

I wonder what stories these guns could tell?

Moo Moo · Nov 21, 2021

I think my coolest would be my S&W 1006 with my 4506-1 a close 2nd.

monsai52 · Nov 21, 2021

Probably this Garrett Arms 1863 Sharps Cartridge Conversion;

or my 3-1/2" 27-2 (BTW, the 3-1/2" 27 is by far the coolest S&W)

Best regards,

Many of my friends rank my Winchester 1887 lever shotgun at the top of the cool scale:

I'm partial to my Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless .32acp pistol.

But it's not the gun itself that makes it cool, it's the combination of the cigar box that I converted into a hideout for it, that carries it over to being cool:

The High Standard “Space Gun” was pretty radical in the late 1950’s. I guess that counts as cool!

Richard Simmons · Nov 21, 2021

Large Marge is the “coolest” to my eye. She’s a big girl.
