If I won the lottery I'd go broke on Firearms....


Currently every gun I own is a favorite as I am a "young kid" and cannot afford to go and buy guns like some of my older friends.  I also started another very expensive hobby of flying remote controlled helicopters.  (Gotta have something to do at work. hehe)

Favorite over all gun.  Walther P99 AS .40 S&W

Favorite CCW - Any time Beretta 3032 Tomcat .32 ACP - Winter time Walther above

Favorite Squirrel gun - Remington Fieldmaster "Pump" .22 or Walther P22

Favorite Reach out and Touch Something - Weatherby Vangaurd .30-06 - (Got a good deal on this gun and even though it isn't one of the more expensive bigger brothers and sisters I Love this gun!!)

Favorite sentimental - Grandpa's .22 or my 18 Birthday Remington 12g 11-87 Premire Ed.


Favorites not owned :(

Springfield M1A

Any M1 Garand

Walther P99 c AS

Finally a Barrett - someday I will own one of these (hopefully)

Yup, that's what I usually say. And will say - look to the end of my list.

Favorites - like others, I have what I like. In no particular order . . .

CZ40P - my favorite little mutant gun
Sig P220 - what Glocks and Steyrs should be, comfortable, good looking and accurate
Sig 556 - big, heavy, brutal looking
AR 6.8 - under construction
Navy Arms 45 Colt Schofield - sold it but fun gun esp. once I had the barrel mouth chamfered and it stopped spraying hot lead back on my hand - Schofields get high marks on the cool-o-meter, though
Ruger 10/22 - classic, accurate, fun, saved me at my first Appleseed
Elsie Pea - goes everywhere with me
Marlin 336 RC - I must really like these as I sold one, had seller's remorse, immediately went on a scavenger hunt, found and bought a pawn shop special made in 1948 - first year for that model
Para TAC-S - not mine yet, but before the end of this month it will be, my first 1911 (Commander size)

PS: Philw, it ain't us that sucks. Look to your gummint for the huge suck factor.

Now I think that's a very good thing (as ol' Martha would say).....  :D

They are all my favorites!

From my grandfathers rifles, to my slow but growing collection, I buy what I enjoy and what I can hand down to my son.

Although, on a side note, my Walther PPK/S (S&W version) has to go back to the mothership, even though I had no issues.

My Wards Western Field bolt action .410 (from my grandfather,) with threaded barrel for different chokes is in a corny way one of my favorites.  It's longer than most deer rifles, is and never was expensive, but is a real treat to shoot, rabbits, squirrels, blackbirds, etc,..

Love those SAA's in a fine leather holster, another favorite.

OOOPPS!  ::)

Watched 3:10 to Yuma, with a couple friends, and a question came up about single action, vs. double action, the SA "won the debate"

I can make a head shot at 15fps with Orville Reddenbocker......at roughly 5 yds. or less....

Favorite Handgun would be the Ruger Old Model (3 screw) Blackhawk in .357, I have 5 and counting, 2nd favorite would be the Single Six .22 3 screw. After those it would be any of the older S&W wheel guns from  the K-22 to the Model 29(prelock) .
Rifles would be a toss up between my Ruger 10/22 and my Anschutz .22 bolt,with my Marlin 45-70 for the big stuff.
Shotguns Mossberg Pumps. There are others,(1911, Browning HiPower) but those are the firearms I can survive with and protect my family.

WOW...very nice....Man, I really want an old Colt SAA.



My Great Grandmother was 4 years old when yours was made. She was a grand old woman. Taught me the game of checkers when I was a wee child back in the early 70's using coke bottle caps for checkers. She lived to be 97 and still wore the dresses that she made herself (like those on Little House on the Prairie).
