My first gun will always be my favorite, the Beretta 92FS. Maybe I'm just a sentimental fool.

Right now, my interests have been captivated by these strange animals called "wheel guns." Between my dad's Colt Official Police and my newly-acquired Dan Wesson M15 .357, I've been busy.

it's not only one alone, depends on the purpose.
but 1st place holds my little HK:

1.
HK P7 M13 --> the first I purchased - my fastest - and veeeeerry cute

2.
my custom 686-6" (PPC-bull-barrel, PPC-grip, chrome-nit.-finish) --> top precision and very heavy -- best for PPC course

3.
686-2,5" --> small, but quite nasty up to 25 yds

2nd only to my dear wife ... the love of my collection is what I regard as the archetypal handgun of all time .... the Smith M27-2. The beauty of form and balance, made even better by the 5" tube.

It is beyond infatuation ... this is the 'real thing''!! :p

Definately a fan of the semis myself. 1911s, CZs, EAAs, Kahrs, Beretta (and Taurus clone), Glocks, KelTecs. I don't think I've ever owned more than two centerfire revolvers at any one time.

The P 80 I used in the military. I once fired a Desert Eagle .50 in Switzerland, and it was totally killer- but that's no handgun anymore, that's pocket artillery.

I've never met a handgun I did not enjoy shooting. Here's how I'd rank the weapons I've shot:

1. S&W Model 28 4" barrell. Very accurate and can handle anything easily.
2. S&W Model 19 4" barrell, nickle. See above, but kicks a bit harder w/ 357s.
3. Ruger Single Six 6 1/2" barrell - stainless steel. Fun, accurate plinker, and the dual cylinders adds to the vesatility.
4. Beretta M9 - I've never had a problem qualifying with these, although I do not own a similar weapon.
5. S&W Model 10 4". Simple, accurate, and the blue on mine is very nice.
6. Ruger P512 - Fun plinker
7. Charles Daly 1911 model - accuracy with some punch
8. S&W Model 65 4"- Similar to model 19, but the smaller fixed sights are harder for me to pickup.
9. Heritage Rough Rider 4" - another fun plinker, but not quite as accurate as the Ruger Single Six.
10. Makarov - Nice little package.
11. Ruger 95 - Reliable, accurate and practical, but has no inspirational qualities.
12. Ruger Super Blackhawk - 10" 44 mag. I'm still learning to tame this beast.

December 30, 2003, 03:59 PM
Para P-14ltd- 45acp & DW "Razorback" in 10mm.

Both are excellent in there own right, but 10mm gets the nodd from me as overall CCW cartridge... esp in a 1911 platform.

12-34hom.

This is the gun I have one my as a BUG gun. If I have to use it while working on the farm, things are not looking very good for both me and whatever I am facing.

It is not the first gun I grab for self defense on the farm because I think most things can get kill with a my Taurus 608. It has 8 shots of .357 magnum and that is plenty enough. I don't think I have ever since jaguars, mountain liions, and anything super dangerous out here. The most "potential" dangerous critter I have encounter is a black bear a few years back while I had to collect some firewood for the house. I just went back to my truck parked 30 yards or so away to take out my .22 rifle to gave it a warning shot in the air. I haven't seen it sense. Aparently, one of the farm workers left his part of his sandwich in the woods by accident and that attracted the bear. There are bears in the region, but they're mostly 5 miles away in the densed forest. There are plenty of dogs around here that seem to give the neighbors a hard time. Even pitt bulls are no matches for these dogs since they always run back to the pack and any pittbull foolish enough to give chase will ended up with not-so-fond memory.

Back to the reality: Desert Eagle is my favorite handgun of all time. From my unpleasant experience with shooting .357 magnum without ear protection a long time ago, I always carry a set of ear muff in the truck and 2 sets of ear plugs dangling around my neck.
