Here is what I have now:
1. Remington 870 Wingmaster, blued wood, 20" cylinder bore barrel with rifle sights, My most prized long gun. This has hardly been fired since it's creation sometime in the '70s.
2. Remington 870 Police Magnum, 20" IC barrel with rifle sights, Speedfeed stocks, sidesaddle. This is my "tactical" gun I put together before I found the joy of bluing and wood stocks.
3. S&W model 66-6 3.25" barrel .357. This is my daily CCW that I wear from dawn to dusk
4. S&W model 66-2 4" barrel .357. This one is new-in-the box on it's way from a dealer in Wisconsin. I can't wait to get it, will become my primary carry piece.
Here is what is in the near future:
1. S&W J-frame, for pocket carry when I dont feel like lugging around a K-frame
2. Springfield M1A National Match. I want one of these so bad I can taste it. Nothing feels better than punching holes in the center of the center of a bull'seye 100 yards away, with open sights. There is no better weapon for this than an M1A. It is also nice to be able to stop a deer, or a man, or a vehicle up to 500 yards away, and the .308 is great for this.
Perhaps I am different from other 20-something shooters, all my gun buddies laugh at my choices, as they all shoot glocks or HKs or Sigs and ARs and Binellis and "tactical" stuff like that. However, while we are shooting pistols and they are printing a 6" pattern all over their target 10 yards away (using their HKs, sigs, and glocks) , and I let off 6 shots out of my smith and wesson into the center of the center of the chest of the sillouhette target, they stop running their mouths and let my choices be.
I've had glocks and sigs and AK-47s and other assorted "tactical" type weapons, but I just did not shoot them as well, and that is what counts. The only weapons I'm really interested in owning are S&W wheelguns, Reminton 870 (wingmaster and police only, no crappy express models) shotguns, and M1A or M1 Garand battle rifles. With these few systems I am covered from concealed carry to home defense to SHTF to deer hunting and beyond. What more do I need?
