What make/model gun is your favorite?

[bushmaster1313]

Putting aside sentimental value, what make/model of firearm.

For me it's the 12 gauge Remington 31 in riot configuration

 

[waffles]

M1 carbine and its not even close

Sooner or later, it will be mentioned, so we may as well get it out of the way right off the bat.
Glock 19 - any generation. The G19 fits my hand better than the G17 or G26, it aims more naturally (for me) than any other, shoots like a dream and has been flawless. The M&P Shield comes in right behind it as runner up.

If I'm wearing slacks that allow Front Pocket carry, I'm carrying the Shield, but my over-all favorite it the G19.

Favorite for what purpose? You're not going to carry your model 31 in your pocket for SD or Rabbit hunt with your Ruger LCP.

No purpose at all
Favorite in terms of eliciting irrational exuberance just by owning, holding or shooting it.

Really depends in the mood I'm in that day.

A really nice older Colt 70 Series 1911, Blue, with some slight, but honest wear that shows character, with a nice patina, in a well worn Belt Holster, sittiin up high and proud, hammer back, at the ready..... One that you look at and just wish it could talk, to tell you all the stories of years past. Where it's been.... what it has seen....

Jus makes me all warm inside.....

luvsmiths - kinda like this one? I have lots of Smith revolvers, but if
the SHTF I would like to have this Colt at my side with a couple of
Wilson mags loaded with Federal 230-Gr. Hydra-Shok.
The leather was a gift from my friend Red Nichols.

Too many favorites to pick just one, but to my eye a blue or nickel Colt Python and 3.5" 27 are darn sexy.

 

[Laketime]

Model 29 has been my favorite for 38 yrs

 

[UncleEd]

Blued Smith & Wesson Combat
Masterpiece, 4 inch barrel, .38
Special. Vintage, 1950s into early
1970s.

Interesting question and I don't think I can really answer it. There are so many favorites, but there are three that I couldn't choose between and are all my number one. But since this is the Smith & Wesson Forum, I'll set aside the Colt SAA, and M-1 Garand, and choose a 3-1/2" Model 27-2 (or older).

There are very few handguns in the world that give off more attitude than the 3-1/2" 27. You just know it's all business.

Best regards,

I'll second that choice.

 

[Autonomous]

A tuned 1911 or a dead stock 629-3 ish.

 

[Richard Simmons]

Can't really explain it but I have always had a soft spot for the S&W Model 38. Blued with diamond high horn stocks and a Tyler T-Grip.

 

[Greyman50]

Colt 1911 Govt. Mdl( pre Series 70), Colt 1911 70 Series, Colt L.W. Commander as favorites , Commander for every day carry IF conditions warrant. All have Mepro tritium sights and excellent triggers. Otherwise in " normal times" S&W Mdl. 642 loaded with +P with 1911's in vehicle, just in case.

 

[CajunBass]

Easy one for me now. The 2020 Python. I've always admired the looks of a Python, and the "new" one is just the cats meow. I shoot these better, especially in D/A, than any revolver I've ever owned. I'm not smart enough to tell you "why" I do, I just know I do.

 

[Sakràn Dog]

My favorite has always been the Springfield M1 Garand.

 

[Fishinfool]

For me, it would be a full size 1911 in .45acp, 1st. year Kimber Custom Target, and a 4 inch model 29 or 629.

Maybe not the best all around gun choices, but when I look at the number of cartridges I reload, and the guns that always seem to be in my range bag, those two are it.

And for an honorable mention, it's the Ruger LCP. Not my most fired, most accurate, or most practical firearm, but the one that has spent the most time on my person since that model was released.

BHP "T" series.

Of the hundreds that I did or do own: Ruger No1, 218 Bee!

Of the thousands that I looked at and drooled over: H&H Best Quality 4 Bore Side by Side ($70,000 in 1982! Ammo: $40 a shot)

 

[jake1945]

Ruger Redhawk, 44 magnum, 7.5" barrel, Leupold M8 scope

 

[jbtrucker]

My 5906 and M67 both fit good in hand and easy to shoot. Though not as pretty the M67 to me feels better with Pachmayr Grippers.

 

[stu1ritter]

1911 Bullseye gun built by Mike Curtis just as he left the Marine AMC and became a civilian gunsmith. Wellover 100,000 rounds and still runs like a sewing machine. It is now retired from its bullseye work and just shot for fun.

My recently acquired Manurhin MR73.

 

[URIT]

Without a doubt, the Smith & Wesson Model 3953.
