For me an It gun has a quality to it that defys an easy definition. The It gun may not be the most practical or best designed gun, but it has something about it.
It conjures up images of (these are my images) the streets of Shanghai during the twenties, Lawrence of Arabia, running guns in Mexico during the Mexican Civil War, Playing cat and mouse with Axis agents in Istanbul during WW2, Micheal Collins and his Flying Columns taking on the Black and Tans, relieving the foreign compound in Peking during the Boxer Rebellion. Yes I know not all of these images are "PC" but so what? Anyway here is my list. The order does not indicate preference.
Mauser C98 Broomhandle
Winchester 1897 "Bush Gun"
Winchester Model 1895 (carbine or rifle)
Colt Lightning or Thunderer
Colt Detective Special
Smith and Wesson Triple Lock
Colt 1911
Lee - Enfield Mk III
Okay now it's your turn.
