Can some of you post a pic of your absolute favorite gun? The one you never let anyone hold, use. The kind you call your baby?:) :evil:
 
trans, wish my Grandpa was like you. Has has a pretty good collection. However his Government issue 1911 from WWII, he would not even let his own son shoot it. He just got all weird about it, when ever I asked him.:confused:
 
All of my tools are no special than the next guys. I love them all and shoot them all.

Any of my friends are welcomed to shoot them too.
 
I'd be more than happy too, but since this is the autoloaders section, and mines a Nickle plated Colt Trooper,bought by my father shortly after I was born, and now given to me, I guess you'll just have to imagine it. :)
Unfortunately, I dont have any autos that would really fit your criteria.

Thank you XDn00b101

I'm sorry how did cherished mean not shot?

Although I have a very deeply blued slide, As in 1950 colt blue My camera is not to good but in the pic of the right side that’s my head mirrored in it and as such is not the toughest choice out there. I have at least 15k closer to 20k through it since I had it made for me when I bought it new in 1991.
Yes she's a looker and I take care of her. But part of taking care of her is shooting the damn thing
 
Wow, nothing but bottom feeders? Here are mine:

I picked this one up on gunbroker last year. Cost a fortune to ship but I like compact German guns.

Not much to look at is it.
This is a Spanish made Alkartasuna copy of the Colt 1903 that was made for French Forces during WW1.
Forget the holster, it is a Makarov holster I use to store the pistol.
My Dad won this pistol away from a Frenchman in a Poker game in England during WW2.
The Frenchman came over during the Dunkirk fiasco and was being trained as a Resistance fighter. The pistol had come over with him.
My Dad was there as a Radio Operator and top turret gunner on a B17 bomber.
Once he got this pistol he carried it on all flights instead of the issue 1911A1.
He felt this .32 was smaller and lighter and easier to carry than the .45 auto and he figured if he ever needed to get out of a B17 in flight he wasn't going to really need a pistol once he got on the ground anyway, but the crews were regulated to carry handguns on their persons during flights.
He told me there were also survival kits in the aircraft that included rafts and M1 carbines but he never heard of anybody bailing out and actually remembering to release one of the kits,,,,,
Dad came home safe and in one piece and brought the gun home with him.
When he passed away it became a possession of mine.
It ain't much but it isn't for sale either,,,,
 
I won't have it for another couple of weeks, but I doubt I will let anyone but my father and brother shoot my Colt WWI reproduction.
 
Onmilo,

Don't store that beautiful gun in leather! It will slowly ruin the finish. Better to use a ballistic cloth type "gun rug" that will breath and will not hold moisture like the leather can. I've seen a lot of historic firearms greatly devalued by storing them in holsters...

Isn't leather acidic?
 
Of the 10,000 or so made, this square butt 4" S&W 547 9mm revolver with the unique, beryllium extractor is 1 of 3,500. The remaining 6,500 are the 3" rd. butt....
Shoots like a dream and load up any 9mm load w/o worry of a jam.....
