I've always thought an "American gun guy" should have this. Now, there's lots of neat stuff out there. I'd like to have a triple-lock, just 'cause. But that's not something every gun guy would have in his stash.

But it seemed to me that if you didn't have this, then you weren't a "gun guy", but were just a guy that owns a couple of guns.

Winchester 94. Now, I know there are folks out there that don't like 'em, so I'll grudgingly accept a Marlin 336, but it really needs to be a 94.

A Smith M&P. Not just a Smith and Wesson revolver. Not a J frame or a Model 29. An M&P. That is the quintessential revolver in the world. Everyone should own at least one.

A 1911. I don't say it has to be Colt. Don't care whether it's full size or Commander or Officer's. But you should have a 1911.

A 12 gauge pump. Side by sides are more graceful, automatics are easier on the shoulder, but there is just something so American about a pump.

A 22 rifle.

Every gun owner should have...


... a 1911 in .45ACP and a .357 wheelgun.

This is a Universal Truth.

Amen Brother MD, Amen!

How about a pleasant place to shoot first off. On guns, everyone should have a neat useable arm that was passed down. So--quit buying junk and have something to pass down to your kid or nephew or niece or what have you.

BTW I was at a gun show last month and I guy was carring a side by side savage 311 and some ok .22 like a model 510, or better--- that he wanted to sell---his dad and given them to him at one time---(and his dad was with him standing right there). What an a__.

And a K-22 and K-38. A blued Colt Official Police. "Someday".

I want a Thompson Model 1921 made by Colt. Everyone should have one.

I'm as happy as a redneck with a gooseneck with what I have.
4" .357
1 7/8" M37 .38 special for concealment.
Mossberg 12ga. pump shotgun with the screw in chokes.
.22 Sears and Roebuck Ranger 6 shot clip I got for Christmas in 1959.
I just flat out don't need nothin' else, but I always kinda wanted one of those Thompson machine guns that have the big drum magazine. When I was a kid our banker kept one of those leaned in the corner of his office.Wonder where it is now?
Peace,
Gordon

I have absolutely ZERO use for a Merkel 140-2 in .470 Nitro Express, But OMG........What a fine piece of working art. I can't even get over looking down the bore of the derned thing (breech end, of course) when it is opened up. Like looking out the tube of a Howitzer. A new one can be had for about 8K!! Then there is the ammo at $200.00 for 20 of the "cheap" stuff. Well, there you go.....Seems I have lost it. I totally think it is worth it......

[VAdoublegunner]

A Glock.

A lot of people think you should have one, that they are great guns that everyone should have at least one of.

I do not and never will, being perfectly happy with my 3rd Gen S&Ws and HKs.
