evil dogooder Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Everybody has that one gun that just feels best to them. It may not be your fastest, most accurate, or the one everybody drools over. It's the one that just fits you. So what is it? Mine would have to be my left hand nmv. It just fits my hand right. I bought a pair of elk grips this summer and it went from being ok to just an extension of my hand. My right hand nmv is close but not quite there. A close second would be my '94. Made in 1902 26" oct barrel. (sorry long night of car shopping, need some sanity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The 1911A1, preferably Colt Series 70. (Sorry, but you asked.) Hits just by pointing for me, know the controls intuitively, can completely disassemble and reassemble without referring to manuals. Second - the '73 rifle. Hits just by pointing, too. Simple enough to troubleshoot that a few spare parts keeps a gun running. Guess that's why I like shooting Wild Bunch, as well as Cowboy. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Mary Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 You need some sanity so you came here?????? Critter, you seriously need professional help..... I'd have to say my Lightnings, don't really have a preference of one over the other, but they fit my hands better than my Model P Jrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckhorn Bud Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My favorite would have to be my Walker (only because I don't own a Paterson). Second place would be a 4 way tie between my 1860s and my Remingtons. (Yes, I do have guns that use suppositories but I'm partial to cap & ball.)

Lunger Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My Ruger number 1. The action is blue printed and I've rebarreled it six times. Right now it wears a one in eight twist Hart chambered in a tight necked 243. This rifle has taken more lives than the pox. Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Tough question. Probably the Colt Diamondback .22 that my wife gave me for my 50th birthday, although the Ruger #1 in .270 Winchester that I will be taking into a tree stand tomorrow before daybreak is a close second. Lunger, you have good taste!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Browning Meadalist 22. Got it free as a young lad from Metz beer, collecting Metz beer can prize tabs, bottle tabs, six pack tabs and case tabs at dad's business for two years. Later got third place in US Olympic trials shooting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Right now I guess it would be my Ruger 1911. But that could be because I have only had it a few weeks. But I do love to shoot that 1911 style .22 also. This thing is a pure tack driver. And I also love my 73 rifle. Heck. I don't know. I love them all.

Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My most beloved is an old Colt 1911A1. It was with me when I was working as a contractor in Africa, Eastern Europe, and southeast Asia. Always did what it was supposed to do. But my real Favorite has to be my Custom Meacham 1885 Hiwall Silhouette rifle in 45-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Strong Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's a tough question indeed. I have to split it up three ways. First, all my cowboy guns, especially my Schofields are at the top. Second for a modern varmint rifle my Cooper in .22 K Hornet is my favorite. Third, a Marlin 39A Mountie that my dad bought for me at the old Weatherby's gun store in South Gate, California in 1961 will always be up there. Betcha can't pick just one favorite.

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My 1916 Colt 1911, and my S&W 4" 66 are a close tie, depending on what day it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Plasters, SASS#60943 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My Marlin 27S pump in 25-20 that I got from my Dad. On my hip it'd be my Colt bisley 38-40. If I reflect on the shooters that I've carried in the field the most it'd be either my Stevens 311 or my Sante Fe Hawken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Wow, that be a toughy.... but I think it would have to be my Thompson Center Renegade. Got it for Christmas in 1984. 16 years old. Shot a lot of deer with that gun. My favorite was when I was lookin over my boys shoulder when he shot his first deer with it. I gave him the option of a brand new one or that one. Dang it all, had to buy ME a new gun..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Nemesis Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 For sure my BL 22 grade ll It was the first rifle I ever bought. (I was 12) that was a long time ago. and many guns have been bought from that point but it has special memories. Could not guess how many cases of shell have been shot.

Michigan Slim Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thank you. But I sure was disapointed when I tried to buy another. No longer made..... Got a Lyman Great Plains. Nice rifle but sure not a Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Whichever one I"m shooting at the time. If pushed I guess I'd say my Marlin Golden 39A Bought it for my wife while we were dating, she never really took an interest so I claim it as mine.

Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Howdy Evil. My favorite is my CZ hammered double shotgun named "Company". I got the name from a western I was reading. The good guy sneaks up on the bad guy and pulls back both hammers. The bad guys says "who's out there". The good guy says "James Coots and company and right now Company is pointed at your head". The gun has always felt good to me. I had Drifter engrave the stock.

Josey Kidd Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Mine would have to be the Remington Rand 1911A-1, that started it all many years ago. Still shoots better than it should !
