I know we all like double action revolvers, pump shotguns and self-shuckers, but do you still have a single shot scatter gun?
How 'bout a single action revolver?

I've dug out mine and appreciate how much fun they are. Most of us old guys started out with 'em!:)

Got a single-shot H&R 16 I picked up in a multi-gun deal, a few years ago. Made in 1947. Surprised me. I thought it was new. As for singles actions, I have a plethora.
 
I have single shot shotguns and single action revolvers and don't plan on getting rid of any of them.
 
Got a single shot 410 from my youth, first gun l ever had... a Christmas gift from my Dad. Picked up a H&R 20 ga on a whim several years ago. Back when l thought l wanted to collect Colts l acquired a 38-40 cal Colt circa 1926 followed by a Colt New Frontier .22. Have two left hand flintlocks in .40 cal and 20 ga. ...and l'm keepin em all!

I`ve still got a couple of single shot shotguns, but it`s rare that I shoot them. One is a Winchester model 37 12ga. Keep it because it belonged to my uncle.
The other is a NEF 10ga. Good turkey gun if you can put up with the recoil.

Single action revolvers are a different story. Have several and love shooting them. Or most of them. Have one that is new in the case that has never been fired. (I once swore I would never own a gun that I couldn`t shoot, but have since allowed for a couple of exceptions to that rule) It`s a Colt Second Amendment .22
I have other Colt .22 single actions, so it`s not that much of a temptation to shoot that one.
Also have a Ruger Single Six and a Vaquero as well as a few Italian cowboy guns. And some reproduction precussion revolvers.
Then there are a couple of big D-max revolvers.

And I`ll throw this one in as well. It`s not a single action, but something you almost never see. A double action precussion. Reproduction Star revolver.

And just for fun, a single action revolving rifle in .357 mag. It was imported by Navy Arms back in the 70s. It`s based on the 1875 Remington. Just a stock and long barrel on a 1875 Remington
