What make/model gun is your favorite?

[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.

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

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)

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

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.

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.

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

Hard to put sentiment aside, but still an easy choice for me.
My almost 50 year old S&W M66. It has been with me since it was new, through good times and bad, never let me down.

Plain vanilla standard 4" barrel S&W Model 10-blued

The go to favorites are K frame 38/357's. By use and number it is sporterized 98 Mauser's as that is what I have the most of, so I must like them.

If that is the standard, and talking about guns in the safe right now, I'll second the motion on a 3 1/2" M27.

If a gun doesn't do this it goes on the chopping block to make way for one that does.

It's impossible for me to pick a favorite out of them.

I tried one time with pistols and came up with a Top Ten:

Modified, that might be the nicest pile of handguns I have seen.
Beautiful photography.

The favorite gun I own would have to be the K22 Masterpiece, 6". I have others that I would rather have for personal defense or whatever, but that is my favorite one. It was born 71 years ago and looks better and is in better shape than me. I love all the blue & wood wheel guns, but this one is my favorite.

 

[Baltimoreed11754]

The 1911- the Woodsman or a N frame Smith or NS Colt- thats as close to a favorite that I can get. Sorry.

Modified, that might be the nicest pile of handguns I have seen.
Beautiful photography.

I'll second that! Bottom picture, 2nd gun from the bottom is just the cat's meow, so to speak!
