Hardly the 'best' revolver ever, but an accurate pistola, and with beautiful, unique lines. I love the second finger groove below the trigger. Definitely on my list of wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Here are some of my long guns that I will never sell. M1 Garand - it’s been modified My Winchester 94 “Trapper” carbine. It’s a Trapper in name only. My first SASS rifle and a keeper. Winchester 94 Trails End .357 Magnum My Ruger PC Carbine. A unique design based on the Ruger 10/22, I’m sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 4 hours ago, One Gun Jimmy said: Here a few of my favorite style guns Cop 357 Luger Ppk 1903 1911 I had a COP for a short while. The trigger was so stiff it would rupture a bull elephant, and it was so inaccurate I couldn't stand in a swimming pool and make a splash. I traded it for a Whitney .22 that was so poorly made I was afraid to shoot it. (I wasn't real gun savvy in those days. I got better...expensively, but better.) I have owned sall of the others, still have the 1911 and 1903 Colts. I ran through about a dozen Lugers back when you could but a pretty good one for $50.00 or so, and my PPK was a WWII piece that a man in my church brought home.

I can relate to that. My wife gave me mine for Christmas in 1982, long before I ever heard of CAS and it is still absolutely gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually immune to engraved guns, not always, but usually. These could be one of the "unusual" guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I think a David Price flintlock ranks in elegance right up there with nearly any firearm ever made. But alas, just like a fine, hand-crafted Purdy shotgun, none are to be had within my budget.

bgavin Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 To answer the original question: "utilitarian" for me. #1 for me is absolute reliable operation. Don't care at all what it looks like (my truck is proof of this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I'll play! The S&W K22 Masterpieces made in the 1930s had the finest adjustable sight ever designed. Two screws each for windage and elevation; loosen the first, turn the second to move the insert in the desired direction, then re-tighten the first screw to lock it in place. A tiny precision screwdriver is required but the sight is infinitely adjustable in case you are interested in cat's whiskers. My 1939 K22 with Fitz grips: I agree with Hardpan Curmudgeon on the rifle. My Ruger No.1 looks like his. For the shotgun, I pick my Browning Model 42, .410 pump. It has taken more feathered game, including waterfowl, than any of my other shotguns. Success is knowing when to shoot and when not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But BLACK RIFLES MATTER in this house *all guns pictured were lost in a reseant unforeseeable boating accident * all braces were also lost in said boating accident and therefor should be considered "destroyed." * all barrels also extend way past the end of the picture to at least 16 inches...... -thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
