Post your favorite gun...

[oysterer]

We just saw some of us have a great many guns from a wide range of different brands. It begs the question:

Edited: Let me rephrase: Which is your favorite gun and why? You can keep all others as well....

2nd edit: You can include long guns, shot guns, signal, belt fed, gatling....whatever...make it fun.

Pick only one and you must currently own it.

I start:

29-6 from 1996 with a Leupold 2.5-8 power from the same period.
Why:

-action, blue job and overall built quaility is perfect+
-it shoots at 25 yards into the same whole when I get lucky
-its just cool looking
-when I am pressed for time but like to shoot rifle and handgun, this one does both
-It's a bit unique, I think full underlug 29-6s are more common
-POA is not a problem even very far out...it's fun

I'm sorry, but this made my head hurt! It's like asking the proverbial question, "Which child do you love most?"

May the good Lord spare me from such a Sophie's choice.

It would be my LCP as my main focus, shooting-wise, is HD and CC. I have been carrying it for a long time and am confident, comfortable and capable with it. It easily disappears into my pocket and could just as easily serve as my nightstand gun as I'm fairly sure any attack on me will be at short range.

My current one-two carry punch:

1947 K-22.

Only one gun? You've got to be kidding me!

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Sorry......But it's the one I hold currently in my hand.....If the others weren't favorites......They'd be gone.

 

[pharmer]

Easy choice. Everything I need a handgun for. Joe

 

[Faulkner]

If I can only have one I want one that I know will work every time I pull the trigger

 

[brucev]

Is there a way to post pictures from a iPhone? If so, I have a one gun I'd put up. Sincerely. bruce.

Just the thought of this made my head hurt. And I think my right arm went numb. My head hasn't spun like that since the 60s.

Not hard at all.

July '53 Baby Chiefs 3".

Men of the 106th Precinct, Queens, NYC, gave it to their lieutenant for Christmas.

it's an extra-special Chiefs Special.

19-5
Gift from my wife when I first made detective. Carried for a short time on duty until I was given a Dept. Issue 2 1/2" m19 to carry. Still shoot it as well or better than anything else I own.

Marvel Precision Unit 1 .22 Conversion Unit mounted to Colt Combat Elite XSE receiver

This is my favourite. It makes tiny holes in the 10 ring of most any target

It depends on what day of the week you ask this question

 

[1-1917]

Since you didn't say handgun, I guess any gun counts.
My favorite is an old Stevens 38-55 single shot. Easy to load, accurate, kind of nice looking, adds weight for traction when I throw it in the bed of my truck. Not a S&W but still my favorite.

how about something exotic on a wintery Thursday....

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Got to be my Blue 19.
Bought it in Guam, carried it in SEA.

 

[THREEDFLYER]

As far as my favorite S&W it would have to be my 1950 production Rudy Marek engraved 3.5" Pre-27 with original stocks.......hard to beat a 3.5" pre-27 and the engraving is the topping on the cake!

 

[pawngal]

One of my first purchases when I got back into handguns. Also was the best buy. M66 no dash

 

[THREEDFLYER]

OR....it could be my recently acquired 3.75" S&W 28-2 converted to 44-40........A one of a kind "FrankenSmith" and I put a custom set of Giraffe Bone stocks on her for the royal treatment.....enjoy!

Here is a link to the thread I started with the story on this gun.....
S&W in 44-40 with 3-3/4" barrel - "Frankensmith" **UPDATED PHOTOS 2/4/19**

 

[Onomea]

My 4" M65. The base gun is everything you need in a handgun, and nothing you don't. Then I had it tuned, and, um, embellished to my liking:

 

[hittman77]

Fairly common 2nd or 3rd year production Ruger Security Six with low back grip frame.

Rare part is the factory-verified "S" serial number!

 

[Chukar60]

Well looks like most everybody went with a handgun. I will change the scenery a little bit.
First picture is of my two favorites.
Top one is a 1953 Browning Superposed, 20 gauge, 26.5" barrels, solid rib with Briley thin wall chokes.
Bottom one is a Browning Citori Superlight in 28 gauge with 26" barrels and Invector tubes.
They are about a dead heat for favorite title, but the Superposed wins just because it is well......... A Superposed and IMO a better built gun.
Second pic is the Citori with the rewards of a couple hours with my pointers.

This one was a gift from my best friend. We knew each other from elementary school, played high school football together and went to college at the same school. We even had the same occupation, attorneys.

He confided in me that he had been diagnosed with bone cancer, that he had months to live and that he wanted me to liquidate his firearms collection. My gift for a job well done was an Ed Brown Executive Elite. He presented this to me the last day he allowed me to see him alive.

I think of him almost every day and when I shoot this pistol, there is always a smile on my face. We shared a common interest in firearms, whisky, cigars and a wicked sense of humor.

Thanks again George!

A fine pistol and an even better friend......sorry for your loss but what a joy to have such a reminder of him!!!

The thread title is "Post your favorite gun.." While the posts are showing concealed carry handguns, here is my favorite gun. Truly a fun gun to shoot.

 

[Chief Wiggums]

this week - it is this one
next week - I'm sure the answer would change

 

[goodguywithagun]

Currently my favorite is in the 8th pistol in the 3rd row.

Great-grandfather's SAA Colt in .44-40 is absolutely my favorite firearm. It has the old blackpowder frame and I have never shot it.

...but I always wanted to, which is why I ordered this US Firearms copy, right down to the same serial number. I have a lot of fun with this, but Great-grandfather's revolver remains my sentimental favorite.
