I know I will get a lot of flack over this one. But my favorite pistol is an Auto-Ordinance Deluxe 1911A1 of West Hurley NY. It has a trigger job and Millet adjustable sights. It shoots like a dream. Shotgun is my Mossberg 500 and rifle is an H&R single shot .223 Varminter set up with a 3 X 9 X 40 Bushnell Banner scope. I was out shooting the guys in the club sporting rifle shoots so bad that three other members in the club bought them. Though they still can't beat me.

My favorite isn't mine. A Navy buddy and I were on leave, driving from San Diego to his parent's home in Salt Lake City for a visit. Along the way we came upon a wreck on the interstate. A car just in front of us hit a Mule deer, breaking its back legs. It was struggling in the middle of the road and was so large that cars couldn't pass. I walked up to see if we could 4-wheel around on the shoulder when the deer gave up the ghost, we thought.

Several of us grabbed him by the rack and pulled him into the median. About then he came back to life and apparently did not like my manners, as he proceeded to lunge on broken legs towards me. Traffic going the other way on the interstate had not stopped and I was having to plan on dodging cars. Just as the deer crossed the bottom of the median and started up towards me I heard the Ba-Woom and heard the slap of bullet on meat. My buddy had hit the deer in the neck below the ear with a heavy, jacketed soft nose .357 from his 6" S&W Model 19. That was it for Mr. Mulie and I really admired that gun.

My current favorite is the next one. Mac.

A fellow in SD did that, and had his gun confiscated and he was fined for - you guessed it, hunting out of season. Not a joke, he put the animal out of its misery, humanely, and the gummint screwed him, just cuz they could.

Why would you?  It sounds like a good, solid weapon.  Since Kahr took over, their 1911's have been getting a lot of good word of mouth.

Mornin' Pathfinder. Yea, that was back in 1971, and we didn't stick around for that very reason. He later got in a money jam and "sold" it to me for $100.00. About 10 years later, I got a check in the mail from him for $100.00, and a plea to sell it back. It hurt me to return it, but, you know, it was his anyway.. And I owed him.  He still has it, and I still have first dibs.  Mac.

As of now, without a doubt my GLOCK 23!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this gun. It goes almost everywhere I go. I feed it all kinds of ammo. I make sure it's always clean. I make sure it stays safe and warm at night. And it loves me too. It has shot thousands of rounds so far. No jams. No malfunctions. No problems. It shoots like a dream. I have out shot sigs, H&K's, and other more expensive gun owners that have made comments like, "Glock.. ha ha that plastic pistol.. ha ha etc." Then when we.. out shoot them.. then they get all serious.. lol I love it!

When I think of 'fun gun' honestly I think I'd have to say my Ruger Single Six.

My first favorite was a .38 Super Colt Combat Commander, the closest thing to a .357 Magnum 1911 I could imagine.

'Course, that shows how ancient I am...

My favorite gun is the 1st gun I bought on my OWN.  It is a S&W Matte finish stainless steel .357 revolver  6".  I purchased the gun in 1984.  It has had thousands of rounds through it with no problems and is a gun that I will always have, I will never sell it.  I had other guns prior, but as this was the first that I paid for with my hard earned $ it holds a special place.

I'm all misty eyed just thinking about it :'(  ;) ;D

If push came to shove, I would have to say my favorite gun was the M2 carbine I carried in Vietnam.

But of the guns I own now, I would pick my Ruger No.1 7x57. After all I just won a Ruger shirt from Marshal'ette with my story about it. :)
 
I would have to say my S&W Combat Magnum (aka M19) that I got for graduation from my Mom is my favorite handgun. I also carried that S&W everyday in Vietnam, but unlike the M2 I never had to shoot it. Thanks God.

For a great bird gun, I really like my ancient side by side .12 built in London in 1886.  Six and a half pounds, sweet, and rebuilt with a left handed stock for me. (Don't anybody get upset by that, the original stock was broken in half when I found the gun in pieces and needing a friend at a gun shop in Bath, England. Perfect. ;D)
