what is your favorite gun?

Sure not the prettiest, but my Ruger Mk1 4 digit serial # has been through thick and thin with me. My dad traded a pair of roller skates for it when I was just a kid. Actually beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I be the holder! Guess I've had that silly little pea shooter for 40+ years now!

Pedersoli Lightning rifle, 44-40, the more I shoot it the more I like it.

It's a toss-up between my 1860 Colt copies with the Willy McCoy custom checkered army grips and my 1875 Remingtons with the giraffe bone grips, also checkered by Willy McCoy. I got big hands with long fingers and these pistols work best for me.

 

I have a second set of Remmies that I'm thinkin' of sending to my buddy Mogollon Drifter for some special checkering. These are 5 1/2" .45 cal pistols that I'm thinking of having some heavy modifications done to.

Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman.

Purchased when I was 15 years old - paid for with the very first paycheck I ever earned.

N-Frame 357 magnum Revolver.

4" barrel - My Dad and I drove to Magna Port and Larry Kelly himself did my barrel for me.

Learned how to disassemble, polish and tune a DA Smith - that gun has a trigger that breaks like glass.

 

At 16 years old - I was using that gun to compete in (and win) practical revolver competitions.

I taught my wife to shoot using that revolver and it is currently the firearm that resides on her night stand.

I was numerous times offered much more money than the gun was worth, but I am glad I never let it go.

I have never handled another that just felt so "right"

Can't be just one! S &W model 15. First gun I carried as a law enforcement specialist/US Air Force 1983. Berretta 92 F I carried after

& overseas. Dan Wesson .357, first gun carried as a deputy, 1986. Sig, 226 when we transitioned to semi- auto. Glock 22 carried now. Remington 870. Nothing like the sound of it being racked, followed by freeze, mother............! My dad's Stevens 311which I use occasionally for SASS. But last Christmas my new granddaughter got my Blackhawks custom action work & custom grips w/ silver inlays of my SASS initials on one grip & my real initials & deputy ID # on the other. Nothing like the first grand baby ! I hope several follow!!!

My Taurus PT99AF 9mm. It is the first firearm I ever bought with my own money that I earned myself, so it will always be my sentimental favorite. It still has the original smooth walnut grips on it, too.

My Winchester 1885 Lo Wall in 22 rimfire built in 1889. It has a heavy barrel, single set trigger and shotgun style buttplate.

 

I've had the barrel sleeved and it will shoot as good a group as my Winchester 52 or my Remington 40x rimfire.

My favorite is the first gun I ever bought...a Remington 870 Wingmaster..12 g 30" plain barrel with a full choke. I bought that gun used when I was 13 years old...back in 1967...saved up $55 from my paper route. I toted that shotgun around all over the marshes of South Louisiana as a teenager and bagged a lot of ducks and geese with it. It's not worth a lot of money but I'm not after any money for it....I'm holding on to it to pass on to my grandson.

I would have to say that my favorite gun would be my .44 mag. Marlin lever-action rifle. <3 My second rifle that I ever owned. Shot two deer with 'er and I'm going for another this year! Not a fast gun, but it sure is accurate!

My Colt Officers Model Target in 22 caliber i I pick just one. Incredible smooth action and trigger and accuracy to die for and the fit and finish is a thing of beauty. Next month- maybe tomorrow I might have to pick a different Colt. It would be easier to pick one rim fire, one center fire, one single action, one double action, one semiautomatic and do the same with rifles and then shotguns ect.

A Pedersoli delux Tryon Rifle in .54 Cal. While it never harvested any deer, it won a lot of meat and other prizes in competition shoots.

I would like to say one of my Widdermatic Marlins. But having a few of them, I probably don't have a favorite rifle.

 

 

BUT, my favorite firearm(s) seem to be my Ruger Vaq Sheriff model .45's

 

Plus, I am also partial to my Marlin model 60 in .22

The circa 1907 Model 94 Winchester 26 inch Octo, 32 Special our neighbor Fred gave my dad in 57 (his son gave him a 270 could not see a man having 2 elk rifles and dad needed one). I inherited it in 92. Not really worth a lot but totally irreplaceable and therefore priceless.
