Chili Ron Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Howdy, Whats fun? Easy shootin and accurate. Not too much recoil. Fun. Whats your top three shooters just for fun.....or four....ok ok but there has to be a limit..... Mine? 1911 in 9. 1022 turned way way up. Most any lever rifle...Henry probably edges out the others. Cheep ammo. No single action revolver? Ive just shot so many a little of the novelty has worn off.....sorta. and picking one is hard.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Always enjoy shooting .22 rimfire with MANY different guns. I like shoot my 1911's in 10mm. And, I enjoy my 1911's in the .460 Rowland. Those are a beast yet they are not intimidating with recoil. I don't really enjoy shooting HEAVY recoiling shoulder rifles. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I have read so very much over so many years that I have many anecdotes and quotes and no clear recollection where they came from, so forgive me if I paraphrase a gun scribe from long years past: That's kind of like asking a Sheik to pick his favorite from his hareem: all have their charms, but certain ones have certain skills which set them apart from the others." Everything I've shot was fun, in one way or another, even the .45-70 fired from a sitting position ... I was maybe nine or ten, I started out with the barl parallel to the ground and when she went BOOM I ended up flat on my back with the barl pointed to the zenith! Long powerful shove, not painful, just surprising ... but this many years later, I look back on the moment and laugh, so it too was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Mk 19 M119 M2 But since I'm retired... Out of my own collection, and in no specific order: Winchester 9422M in .22 WMR Browning BT99 shooting trap Colt 1911 in 9mm The top two - the Winchester and Browning - I have often said if I were homeless and living in my car I would still have them.

You just made me realize. I do need to add one. The Ruger PC9 carbine with a red dot. I always have a grin when I shoot it, and have let others shoot it at the range with the same effect.

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The most fun - Spencer! But also in no particular order: Broomhandle Mauser 1860 Henry 1887 Winchester S&W Schofield and many more Least fun - AR-15. It's OK but it is rather boring to shoot.
