If it will do that every shot I would like to buy it. I have a 686L, 687L and a 682 Gold E and all 3 have misses in them.

My M17. It's what I shoot the most. It's cheap too shoot, not very noisy and I don't have to reload shells. Larry

Parker 16 ga on the O frame.
A recent addition to my collection is my Beretta M9. The slide acts like its on roller bearings. It's my favorite semi auto with a Browning HP a close second.
Don't have many revolvers but my favorite is my S&W Model 65, 3" RB. I tuned it while a student at the Smith and Wesson Academy, then bought the gun from them. I only shoot it double action and it is my favorite revolver to shoot. Shoot mostly wadcutters and non +P ammo. No need for .357 magnums.

My Browning HP MKIII 9m/m for a handgun but I've started shooting trap and really enjoy my Remington 1187 Hunter 12 gauge. For a rifle my Rossi M92 20 inch .357 Mag lever action.

That's hard . . .
Probably my M-1 Garand. The Swiss K31 is also a hoot. And I never tire of a 3 to 4-inch S&W K frame .38 spl. I also love shooting .22 rifles, but without about 30 of them, it's hard to chose . . . maybe the Marlin 39.
The gun I shoot the most (at least until about six weeks ago) is my Browning 325 Citori.

This. My 40 year old S&W Model 34. She's a 22 so I don't have to reload for her. No recoil and not very loud. She doesn't take up much room. It's easy to take her along anywhere. I can practice both single and double action. At home on the range or on a hike in the woods. Can harvest supper or protect me from the bad guys. Reliable and accurate. Eats anything I feed her.
I could go on.....

It varies from time to time.
Last year it was often one of my snub S&W M15s.
This spring could be an AR season.
Later? Who knows?

I have a bunch of guns I love to shoot. Many different reasons for sure. MY 547 3'', a customized by me model 28 I built up for PPC shooting, a Browning 22SA take down I bought new in the 60s at about age 16. A few others, a very hard choice to make.
With that said I realy like taking out a bolt action 22, its a early Ruger 7722 with a fixed 4 Leupold on it. Gun is very accurate and just a blast to shoot. I describe it as a sporter that thinks its a target rile.

Tough question to answer definitively. I like all of them, even my lowly .40. It's not bad with the more modern ammo.
The only thrill I recall is when I tried out the Colt 10mm in '87 and the 357 sig conversion in my Glock 22. Any more they are all pretty much equal from 22lrs' to 44 mags.
The least is a 7mm mag without padding. Yes, I'm a sissy.

I enjoy shooting all of my shotguns, rifles and pistols. Since this is manly a pistol site, of my pistols, I did not realize how much I like shooting a model 52 until I recently got one after not owning one since the 70s. Probably my favorite to shoot at paper.

That's an easy one... Hands down my favorite shooter is my SA M-1 Garand. I never get tired of the ping.....
Lately- a Ruger Mark IV Target. Accurate, soft shooting, reliable, I really enjoy it. Waiting on Form 1 for a 10.5" Colt 609 build and that should be wild in 5.56
Opps, forgot photo
I own lots of pistols and revolvers but my favorite to shoot is a custom 686 Mountain Gun worked over by Magnaport with 2 cylinders. One uses moon clips in 9x23, 38 Super, and 9x19. The other original cylinder for 357 & 38 Special. The 9mm sees a lot of use because the ammo is very cheap. It is the top one in the attached photo.

I would have to say All my Guns are my Favorite to shoot.
All my guns went through a thought process to buy them.
None of my guns were bought on a "Knee Jerk Reaction".
I also Reload for all but of course the 22lr's. That gives me
enjoyment too, along with owning the Guns I do.
Great Thread.

I go through phases when it comes to favorite guns to shoot.
Lately my favorite isn't a handgun but a rifle. My Ruger M77 Hawkeye African chambered in 9,3x62mm gets out to play the most often. Shooting it gives me permagrin. It pushes a 286 grain slug about 2400 ft./sec. The recoil is substantial but very manageable and just a great big shove. Shooting a box of 20 rounds is enough fun for a day. If you hit a football size rock at 100 yards the rock explodes. It is plenty accurate but not a rifle that shoots little tiny groups. Without question it is minute of elk out to 300 yards.
I'm surprised this caliber is not more popular this side of the pond. There isn't an animal you couldn't hunt and handle anywhere in North America with a rifle chambered in 9,3x62mm.
Maybe someday I'll get to take it to Africa and use it as intended but for now I can imagine and continue to blow up rocks.

I've only had it a short time, but my 2020 Python has quickly become my favorite gun to shoot. I've fired just over 800 rounds of mostly 357 ammo through it before the governor shut down the ranges.
But my Model 19-9 isn't far behind. The trigger isn't quite as good as the Python's, but it ain't bad.

I didn't start busting clays until 2018 so I have plenty of misses in me. At the club I shoot at the term for a miss is "410". So when shooting Skeet I hear "410" a lot.
