What is your Favorite Gun?

[Charlie Foxtrott]

This week.

It would have to be the Barrett REC-7 that I bought the other day. Shot it yesterday, nice gat!

My favorite Smith would have to be my 28-2..... my grandpa carried a very well worn one sometimes on our hunts when I was a kid.... as for favorite overall, it would have to be his .22 supershot.... I remember him taking it squirrel hunting.... he always got more than my brother or I did with our rifles....

I know this is an S&W Forum, and I have a number of favorite S&W revolvers.

Currently, I am fixed on a Colt M1911A1 coming from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. They are selling about 8,000 of these, and the best of best are being auctioned. I won a very nice one at auction last Friday Evening. I hope to receive it this week. It will be displayed with a Colt M1911 from WWI era and a Remington Rand M1911A1 in pristine condition I already have in my collection.

Therefore it is currently my favorite until I receive it and get it settled in its new home. Here are some pictures of the three. The last two picture, below, are of the soon to be new to me Colt from the auction archive.

#3 son's favorite is pretty easy. He insists on taking it out every time we go to the range. (Ladysmith Target)

Slow DA @ 15 yds.

Kids these days!

My favorite "gun", very special to me. 1954, age 14, small gun show in suburban Kansas City. Fell in love with an "old gun" @ $22.50. Wanted it bad. Dad shaking head & finished! Just before Christmas, dad offering "pre Xmas" gift for under tree. Needing to pick it up in Lawrence, Ks, from Prof Carlysle Smith, Anthropologist of note, owner and having refurbed a bit. Below. 1854/67 Austrian Wänzl Jäger Rifle, Cal 54 RF. Saw same model several occasions at the Army History Museum in Vienna.
Pardon the story, but something very, very special to an old man now few months shy of 80 years.
Apologies for exploiting bit 'mushy' trip opportunity down memory lane!
Best!
