I bought a CZ Ringneck SxS 20 gauge a few years ago and I guess it is my current favorite. I usually don't get too sentimental about guns and will see one I really want so I'll trade one of my current guns for it.
What is your most treasured firearm?

It would probably have to be my model 10-6, 4", nickel given to me by my dad.

This is my most treasured firearm:

It is a Colt Model 1851 Navy, factory engraved. It was made in 1863 and carried by Captain John Lowry in the Illinois infantry. I don't have the documents in front of me, but if I remember correctly, it was the 107th Illinois Infantry. It was a birthday present from my mother. Thanks mom.

well it's a tie, there's my model 15-2 that got me into revolvers, and my sw99 in 40 that guards me and my family, but would LOVE to turn it into a racegun that I can carry

Beautifull gun and we both learned something!
I'm lucky to have a few.
A K38 Target Masterpiece and a 38/44 Outdoorsman I got from my friends estate auction in Great Falls and a K38 Combat Masterpiece I bought from his Gun Shop shortly before his untimely passing.
A Remington 512 I got for Christmas almost 40 years ago from one Uncle, another Uncle cleaned it up and made it like new and my Dad taught me how to shoot with it.
My Pre-War Winchester M1 Garand is treasured just because of all the good times I had with it and all the great guys who helped a young Airman out when learning to shoot long range rifle matches.
A 10-13 because of the rarity of it.

That lovely chrome Lorcin .25 in the middle.
Why? Eh. It's the same as asking what my favorite screwdriver is. They're just things and things are expendable.

Mine would be a 2nd generation Colt SAA 4 3/4" bbl 38/357 caliber. Certainly not rare but this 'smoke wagon' and I go back a long time with many stories to tell. Next would be toss-ups between two prewar Colt commercial models in .45ACP and .38 Super. Next would be a Winchester model 63 .22LR made in 1947.
My 686 CS-1 3in RB. I traded a 2in Model 10 for it in 97 and didn't know what I had until I tried to trade it off in 97 or 98 and was told by a gun shop owner that it had been cut down, since S&W never made a 3in 686. After finding out it was a special run for US Customs, I started carrying it all the time, until I got into Law Enforcement in 2000. Now its my off duty gun. I only regret that I took the "factory Goodyears" off it and threw them away. I have a factory letter on it, but I would love to know how it ended up in Indiana.

I have a Beretta 32 auto with a leather flap holster my Father-in-law gave me. He carried it in Germany during the Cold War in the Air Force. He was on loan to CID

Wait a minute Gator, you actually own a Lorcin?
Mine would have to be a Mdl 1906 Winchester .22 my dad taught me to shoot on.
Or the Hi-Power I carried overseas and let get away.....
Or my Gold Cup .45 I bought to replace the Hi-Power......
Or my Ruger Red Label 20 ga. Orvis Special (all blue
)....
Wait, and then there's..................

I've got some really neat stuff but this one I'd never part with. Springfield M2 version of the Model1922 Gallery Practice Rifle.
