What car does your handgun remind you of?

[albanian]

It doesn't have to be one you own or resemble it in appearance, just what you think relates to it.

For example, a Ruger might be considered a Ford pickup or a Wilson 1911 might be considered a Dodge Viper.

I think my Beretta 92fs reminds me of a Ferrari because they both have sexy lines and curves.

[Corey ACP]

Firsts, Handgun: Colt Python 6" blue, bought new in 1979
Truck: Chevrolet short bed 4X4 pickup New 1977
Both were constant companions and went everywhere with me in my youth.
I Can't think of one with thinking of the other...

[LiquidTension]

My Kimber reminds me of a muscle car for some reason.

[Black Majik]

1911 = FORD.

Fix Or Repair Daily. :D






just kidding!

[Mixlesplick]

My Kahr reminds me of my car. :neener:

[sctman800]

My two carry guns are a Taurus .41mag, 2 1/2" barrel and a S&W 4513tsw. I think they sort of fit with the vehicle I bought in 1978 not my daily ride, but one I can't imagine being without. A 1966 International Harvester Scout, 4X4, not made to be comfortable, will do the job of going pretty much anywhere under any road and weather conditions. Jim.

[zx-12r]

I think my S&W 500 = Hemi Cuda

[Quintin Likely]

1911 = FORD.

Fix Or Repair Daily. :D

That might be, but watch out when they run right! :neener:

I kinda think of the 1911 as an older muscle car...something you can tweak and tinker and tune until you make it what you want it.

[Glock19Fan]

My G19 = Hummer.

:)

[BigG]

Colt Government Model = Detroit Chrome Iron like a Dodge Super Bee or a Plymouth GTX. :D

[Gary A]

Ruger GP-100 - Jeep Rubicon.

[Desert Dog]

I own both:

Ruger P90 = Dodge PowerWagon

Simple, practical, and reliable as a stone ax.

[wolf]

cougar L - 1964 GTO tri-power-348 hp

My ruger single six =dodge dart with old slant 6 engine. Not a powerhouse, but runs forever. :)

[denfoote]

It reminds me of this: Maxwell Smart's Sunbeam Tiger.

Why?? I dunno. I just like the car!!!

The Tiger, launched in 1964, was the result of fitting a Ford 4.2 litre V8 into the Sunbeam Alpine bodyshell. Initiated by Ian Garrad, it was developed from two Alpine V8 prototypes built by Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles respectively. The 4.2 litre engine produced 164bhp @ 4400rpm.

Tigers were built by Jensen Motors at West Bromwich. A small number were also assembled in South Africa from CKD kits. 6,546 examples of the Mark I were built.

The Mark II Tiger of 1967 received a 4.7 litre V8, developing 200bhp @ 4400rpm. Mark II production totalled 536 examples.

The takeover of Rootes by Chrysler led to the untimely demise of the Tiger. Chrysler did not want to be seen to be building Ford-powered cars, and did not have a suitable engine of their own.

The Tiger was sold in some countries as the Alpine V8. It is perhaps most famous for its role in the television series Get Smart.

[CRridermike]

my Colt Trooper Mk III reminds me of a old cadillac cause its old, smooth and can hit anything... has relitivly good power too.

[albanian]

"stupid post"

I wonder what is more stupid, this post or someone actually taking the time to read and respond to this post just to say it is stupid.

It's just for fun man, lighten up.

[Campusninja]

SIG P239TT .357 = BMW 3 series
H&K P7M8 = Mercedes SLK

[wasrjoe]

I wasn't going to even reply to this thread because I couldn't think of a good parallel between my Makarov and a vehicle, but after I read:

stupid post

I'm going to have to make sure this thread goes on as long as possible.

Anyhow, Makarov - Hmmmmm, I'm no car guru, but it's probably something like a Nissan Altima or somesuch - not too big and just powerful enough, works well, and requires little work.

[psyopspec]

HK full size models=Cadillac Escalade. Gets you there in form-fitting comfort and style that can walk the walk when called upon.

[AF_INT1N0]

SA 1911-1956 Chevy Bel air Sport coupe 328
Great lines, good muscle very smooth

Sig P228--1998BMW 323is
Quick reliable, a little bit pricy, just makes you smile when you drive it.

[Kevlarman]

My CZ75 reminds me of a '67 Shelby Cobra GT-500. But that's only because I'm a huge Gunsmith Cats fan. :D

[Chuck Jennings]

And now for my stupid post:


A good auto counterpart to the Mak might be the zil-41044:

Commie, ugly, and classy at the same time.

[jamz]

I did the Ruger already, so here's the rest:

Walther P22: Mitsubishi Lancer "OZ" edition. Looks good, but cheap and no performance to speak of. A few QC issues. All show and no go.

Colt Pony Pocketlite: Honda Civic. More or less reliable, marginal useage, but easy to live with and use.

SW1911: '85-'86 Dodge Shelby Omni GLH. Great piece of equipment, reliable, fast, but will never be taken seriously because of parent company's past attempts. Only people In The Know will recognize it, everyone else will glance at it and move on. :)

-James

[SnWnMe]

Just limiting myself to one here.

My F-Comp reminds me of a slightly souped up Honda Civic.

So boringly reliable.

[jem375]

[JeepDriver]

Sig P226ST = Audi S4 ;)

[larryw]

Valtro = '67 427 Cobra

A couple of the things that just makes me say, "yowza" when get my hands on them. Built to rock with an all American heart.

[Peter M. Eick]

Chevy S10 Blazer = jennings. Looks good out of the box but after a few years and many trip to the shop to make it work it sort of wears on you.

Toyota Camry = SIG 210-6. Sedate, reliable, predictable, always starts, always runs, does what you want every time, not not very flashy or exciting.

[wildcard]

Glock 17 = My 92 Toyota 4Runner 4x4, with complete off road package

NO matter what I, what conditions I put them through, they keep working.

[Waitone]

Taurus 850=Phymouth Savoy
Barami Hip-Grips=Racing stripes
:D

[adi]

My HK USPF .45 = my land rover. All black, functional, do anything, reliable.

[Ky Larry]

My .45 ACP Kimber Custom Defender II reminds me of a Mack truck: big, slow,reliable and hits hard.

P.S. How's that for "stupid?" :neener:

[jlwatts3]

That's funny ...one person said their USP 45= escalade and another said land rover. I was thinking a range rover. sorta boxy...very classy...extremely capable.

[m14nut]

I'd go with my Smith mountain gun as rugged as my Jeep!

FUN THREAD!!! :neener:

[bpisler]

My 2003 ford focus reminds me of ruger P series,not great looking but they always work.

[Gary in Pennsylvania]

My CZ's?

Saab . . . . . . Unique styling ensures you won't get the "Me Too" syndrome. Just enough sportiness. Just enough luxury. Just enough utility. Has a cult following.

[HiWayMan]

I had a Llama Mini-max .45 for about a day. It would compare to a Ford Pinto. More dangerous to the operator than anyone else.

[Black Snowman]

I'd say my CZ 85 Compact reminds me of my Subaru SVX. Sporty but also functional. Resonably priced. Reliable but a little tricky to work on if something does go wrong. Good looking but a little heavier than it really needs to be. I'll let the others be for now.

[wasrjoe]

A good auto counterpart to the Mak might be the zil-41044

Haha, just what I was looking for and couldn't find!

[Seven High]

Glock 40 cal = Ford Pinto :evil:

[SpaceCowboy]

My Kahr reminds me of my car.

MY kahr reminds me of My car.
VW Jetta 1.8 Turbo

Small with lots of zip :D

[Rinspeed]

Sig 220 = BMW 540i

[tuna]

Taurus Model 66 = Ford Taurus

Bought both used, but look new - dependable, cheap, six cylinders and enough power for anything I need

[ralphie98]

My Glock 34 reminds me of my Civic... Both are black, inexpensive, reliable, and with a little maintenance I hope to enjoy both of them for a long time. Not classy, but not junk either. A lot of plastic parts are involved. You either love them or you hate them, but either way you cannot deny the overall reliability of either. I guess my civic would be more like a Glock compact model but I don't own one of those.

[stevelyn]

Glock= Jeep, the real ones, not the overpriced-underquality yuppie mobiles. Seems to work well in any environment under any conditions.

[sfhogman]

My Parkerized Springfield Loaded = '40's Jeep, preferably military. Strong, simple, reliable.

[P. Plainsman]

Ruger GP100 -- a fairly nicely appointed, reliable U.S. pickup truck. Maybe a Ford F150 (I'm not a pickup guy). The gun has struck me that way for a long time. Ruger DA wheelguns have a "truck" vibe whereas Smiths are "coupes."

Sig P220ST -- Beamer, unmistakably.

Colt Python -- Corvette. Or a classic Mustang (the Python is a big revolver).
