A very tough decision but my fave has to be my manton 12bore double rifle she weighs in at 13.5 lbs and has 26" barrels.
Whats your favorite firearm you own?

A single shot heavy barrel Mossberg Model 35. A pure joy to shoot, simple, elegant, from a time ( the 1930's) when form and beauty were the standard. The triggger breaks at 3.5 pounds and quarter size groups are the norm at 50 yards with the right ammo.

I think this one's cute:
I like the wood and the finish.

Mine looks just like a Remington Classic. But it's an old 721 fitted with a .280 barrel by Larry Brace, and glassed by me in a Classic stock. Of course tuned to the Nth degree.

reerc,
I think it's cute too! My wife "decided" that the one I picked up a couple years ago is her gun. I'm tickled pink because she lets me shoot it!!
What's not fun about that little Browning???
With the ejection port straight down, "what's not fun" is popping a hot shell down a shirt sleeve!
Favorite guns I own.......
Well, it's gotta be my Winchester 62-A .22 pump(made in 1961). It's a take-down, feeds any .22 ammo you can put in it,is accurate beyond normal reason,and you can shoot it all day on a budget. BUT, I've also got this old 1961 4-screw 29 in a 6 1/2" that is my "near perfect" gun because it is not so nice that it can't be used in the woods.

Here are my two fav's.
1942 91/30 and 1952 CZ-52
I would let the long gun go before the pistol. Both are very accurate! Were free with ammo boxs full of ammo.
Notice the Sigma is not there and try as I did yesterday I could not part with my hard earned money for a 686+ or a M&P .45 ACP or both at Academy.

I like all of my guns; it’s hard to pick a favorite.
It’s kind of like the different tools in my tool box: each has its own purpose.
But lately, I’ve been toting my 629 Classic in the woods accompanied by an Arkansas Toothpick:
And of course I’ve always admired my CS45:

I can't narrow it done to one, so I'll list several:
All around favorite is my M27 to .44 Special conversion. The work was done in 1976 and it was my second law enforcement revolver.
My funnest shooting revolver (yeah, I know that's not a word) is a 5" Official Police .32-20.
A .22 LR Remington rolling block fills the rifle catagory.
It's a tossup on shotguns. I have a 1897 Winchester 12 gauge with an 18 1/4" barrel that I carried as a duty gun and now serves in home defense. The 12 gauge Darne double is neat because of the sliding breach block and is a featherweight.

G.A. Precision built Remington model 700 in .223 that loves 75 gr Hornady A-Maxs.
Gonna have to be my Gen III G17. Since we are allowed to choose our own duty guns and I did not make the choice lightly this must be it. It is ugly, not the most powerful and you won't find it on the bullseye pistol range. You will find in a fight though. I chose it for a uniform duty pistol and still carry it now that I'm plain clothes. I just got a G19 for my duty arm now and carry a G26 on my ankle. The G17 mags work in both of those and are what I carry for spare mags. It's a good system. I still have to pull uniform duty on occasion and will continue to carry for that.
