We're all S&W enthusiasts, but I'm sure most folks own non-S&W firearms. What is your favorite non-S&W:

  1. Center Fire Semi-Auto Pistol
  2. Rimfire Semi-Auto Pistol
  3. Center Fire Revolver
  4. Rimfire Revolver
  5. Center Fire Semi-Auto Rifle
  6. Rimfire Semi-Auto Rifle
  7. Center Fire Bolt Action Rifle
  8. Rimfire Bolt Action Rifle
  9. Shotgun

You can only pick one from each of the types.

For me:

  1. Ruger SR1911 (.45ACP)
  2. Ruger MKIII Standard 4.75" Barrel
  3. Taurus M66B6, 6" Barrel, 7-Shot .357 Magnum
  4. Ruger Super Single Six (.22 lr / .22 Mag)
  5. Franken AR15, DM lower + RGuns Upper + Standard LPK.
  6. Ruger 10/22 Carbine
  7. Mosin-Nagant 91/30
  8. I don't own a bolt action rim fire rifle.
  9. Benelli SuperNova Tactical w/pistol grip

3, 4, 7, & 9 = I have no choice because they're the only examples I own.

5, & 6 = S&W's are the only other examples I own.

Why'd you leave out so many possibilities? No lever, center or rim. No pump, center or rim. No single-shot, center or rim. Shotguns all in a lump? I've got auto, pump, SxS and single shots. There are also bolts and O/U.
 
Oh goodness, I do have some to add.

Center fire self loading - H&K P7M8
Rimfire semi - Ruger Mark II - it always goes to the range
Center fire revolver - Colt Python
Rimfire revolver - Ruger Single Six
Center fire self loading rifle - Bushmaster A2 .223
Rimfire self loading rifle - Ruger 10/22
Center fire bolt action - Remington 700 - .270
Rimfire bolt action - Remington 552
Shotgun - Maverick 88 - 12 gauge
 
OK...I'll play. Ese are my favorites (because they're the ones I own!)

Centerfire Semi - Ruger SR9c. What a Sweeeeeeet shooter! Much more to my liking than my old P95

Centerfire revolver - S&W Model 10-5, 4inch taper barrel. This is a classic and one I'll never part with.

Rimfire semi - Ruger Mark III 22/45.

Rimfire revolver - High Standard Sentinal R100 with a 4 inch barrel. Along with the Ruger, lots of 22 madness!!

Rimfire bolt action rifle - a gift from my late father in law, a Mossberg US44(a) military trainer. It's big, heavy and emotional. I had it for ten years before I shot it....he had not shot it in more than 40 years. And yet, with a little cleaning and care, it shoots like a dream. Another heirloom. And the priceless part - watching his daughter, my wife, shoot it and smile.
