This thread seems to be a bit handgun centric but I'm a bird hunter more than a handgun shooter.

For me the last gun I would part with ismy H&H Northwood 12 gauge side by side. It is a pretty basic plain Jane utilitarian shotgun, a Jack of all trades. It weighs 6 lbs. 8 oz., has 28 inch barrels choked 1/4 and 1/2 choke (IC, Mod).

The last handgun I would part with is my Transition 3rd Model .44 Special.

Smith & Wesson (Walther) PPK/S .380 ACP

Why? Because it's an absolutely gorgeous firearm that fits my hand snugly, shoots straight as an arrow, and has been 100% reliable since the day I bought it a good 3 years ago. I've actually gone out of my way trying to get this gun to malfunction, yet it never has, and I once went as far as to fire it limp-wristed in an upside-down position while dirty, but it still fed/fired every round!

 

[Rio Laxas]

It would be one of my forged Swiss P210-6s.

 

[jbtrucker]

My favorite 5906

 

[GTBL]

Today it is this one but tomorrow it may be something else.

Winchester Super X Model 1. The one to the right I've had since I was 13.

At the moment I'm going to say my Ruger MK IV 6" Target. It's just fun, cheap to shoot, as accurate as what I'm capable of and I think the stock trigger is pretty decent.

This week it's this pair

One of Many Favorites

1956 Ruger Single Six 22lr, Dad's.
Has a 5 digit serial number.

May sound harsh, but I don't let anyone
else handle it or, shoot it.

Taking it to the Shooting Range today.
Has a very nice trigger, and it's
very accurate.

From the top or from the bottom??????

For the past 8 years my favorite has been a CZ 452FS/mannlicher in .22magnum with a 1-4x20 Leupold scope. My "walking in Penn's Woods" rifle..........

a close second and giving the 452 a run is another CZFS/mannlicher a 527 in .223/5.56 same scope.

Handguns;

Revolver it's got to be my 3" 66 with Craig Spegel Boot grips.......

Auto; tough to answer probably a Performance Center Shorty-9 that I have and have carried since 1996 or my 3913NL with Hogue checkered wood grips ( my concealed carry 95% of the time)....... I recently got a Wilson Beretta Centurion that's pretty sweet!!!!!!!

 

[goodguywithagun]

Of course this is tough to answer. BUT!

Until the fire last year it would have been my Springfield Armory M1A. It survived the fire but its black, fiberglass stock was ruined and it now wears an Army, original wood stock to go with all mil-spec TRW parts. I don't like the wood so, meh, it ain't my favorite gun any more and I plan to sell it.

So, then I have to think and think. Handgun? Rifle? Dunno.....

Maybe it's a toss-up:

First gun I ever bought, almost 50 years ago, a Remington M788 in .308. It survived the fire, it's scope did not survive the water, but any scope will bring it back to its original tack driving self (tack driver without the scope, too, but I NEED the scope!):

Then there's my first gun, my dad's F.W. Heym .22 single shot; I ggrew up around that gun - not shooting it, just being around it!

Those are my sentimental favorites.

 

[Fishinfool]

To many categories and uses to have just one favorite, so I'll just say my favorite range rifle. It's a M1a, shown in the pic with an AR. Accurate. fun to shoot, not nearly as common on the range as the AR's. I usually put 5 thru it from the bench, then 5 standing, 5 kneeling, 5 sitting, and 5 prone at 100 yards. Just a fun shooting rifle that feels right, and one of those rare rifles that shoot POA whether the barrel is cold, hot, clean or fouled.

Boy this is a tough one? But I'd have to say it's this one!
My 8040 Beretta Cougar

 

[MCorps0311]

I have fallen in love with these three Ruger's.22 Standard, .22 Hunter LR,& .22/45.

 

[lkabug]

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

Midweek or weekend?

Or even the hour of the day! Or perhaps what I had for breakfast.

[The_Truth]

[BigBill]

Not my favorite but my carry gun lately is a Czech military surplus cz82 in 9mm makarov. I thought the 9x18 Russian caliber would be wimpy being a shorter case over the 9mm 9x19 round. It's pretty snappy to shoot. I'm sure it will do what I need it to do. At the time aim surplus had these for $189. My LGS had the cz83's for $229. I'm a revolver guy first. The double action first shot on the cz pistols has me hooked.

 

[wundudnee]

Today it's my 1945 Winchester carbine. That could change at any minute.

 

[Wyo]

This one. Colt .45 and .45 ACP. And I do shoot it.

 

[delcrossv]

 

[sheepdawg]

At this very minute. This completely matching 1912 m/41 Swedish sniper rifle with matching base mount and rings. Swedish Mauser collectors know matching base, mount and rings on one of these is a rare jewel.

 

[revho]

This was my Great Great Uncles 1967 Marlin 39A Golden with a Bausch & Lomb scope. He died in 1972 4 years before I was born. This was last fired by him before I got it in 2010 or so and was last sighted in by him. I hit a running woodchuck 3 out of 5 shots at about 120 yards. This thing was made to put woodchucks to sleep.

I would have to say my favorite gun is the one which I shoot the most. A Krieghoff KX5 single barrel trap. Shooting registered trap every week at a Big50 (150 targets) then the monthly shoot (300 targets). The competitions have doubles events within each and of course the single barrel trap gun doesnt work well for so I have to use my over/under a Krieghoff model 32 for those particular sitiations.

 

[shouldazagged]

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.

That is about at beautiful a rifle as I've seen in years. Incredible.

 

[BigBill]

At this very minute. This completely matching 1912 m/41 Swedish sniper rifle with matching base mount and rings. Swedish Mauser collectors know matching base, mount and rings on one of these is a rare jewel.

Finding one that has all matching numbers isvrare. These are very accurate even with no scope.

 

[Ribwizzard]

Favorite? Hmmmmm
Lots of fancy guns going to be posted here, but I'm not going that direction, because I'd have to say, nothing is more fun or feels better in the hand than a good old 870
