Favorite Gun of 2021?

I can’t pick just one favorite. But for no real purpose but fun and nonsense, it’s gotta be this one:

Is that the Tippman?

I would be interested in a review thread if you have time.

Yes, it’s the Tippman.

Next time I take it out I’ll make mental notes of details.

So far I have only had it out once without a lot of time. But enough time to blow through 1000 rounds in about an hour; I had 30 Glock 33 round mags loaded up ahead of time.

I couldn’t wipe my goofy grin off for 30 minutes after.
 
For me, there’s two…. Of course the first has to be the Win Model 70 that Gunny fixed for me. It’s a gem! Then there’s the one I liked and disliked at the same time, this Howa HCR in 6.5 Creedmoor. I like this rifle but not the cheesy distressed flag paint scheme, so I had it done over in WW2 OD green Cerakote. Now I like it again. 415AD5C9-3975-4596-A084-AA5EDB618342.png 5D44553D-71D0-48E3-B265-1C66DB465F6A.png 311ADFC7-BD9E-4E6F-BD5F-6E5415703654.png
 
Although it was purchased in Spring of 2020 I'd have to say that my Marlin 57M is still currently my favorite because it goes to the range with me every time, no matter what else I bring along.

Favorite from 2021 is the Sig 229 in .357 Sig I picked up over the summer.

But my favorite was a late 2020 addition… my SA Mil Spec 1911. Picking up my second 1911 soon. Love shooting it.
Great gun! I've got an earlier version of that, made before SA started coming out with all the fancier ones. Mine just says 1911A1 on the slide, but looks identical except mine has the flat back strap and the SA logo on the grips. Fine shooting pistol. 1911's are contagious, what are you getting next? I now have three, and thinking hard about picking up #4 tomorrow at the local gun show. I saw a RIA in .38 Super that I'd like to add to my SA 1911A1, Ruger SR1911 10mm, SA EMP4 9mm, and 1903 Colt.

I'll probably say this one is my favorite of 2022, when asked; I picked it up at the show this morning, a S&W Model 25-5 .45 Colt:

Handled several makes and models in a LGS a few days ago. The one I liked best was the blued SA Garrison. It’s like a Mil Spec + without going too far. At least that’s my opinion. It’s the one I kept going back to.

Btw…. Nice collection you got there!
 
I've bought 6 or 7 but my overall favorite is my 1851 Richards Mason Wild Bill edition in .38 special.
 
Bought a handful in 2021, wife got a couple - Sig P365 and LCP2 in .22; I got a new carry pistol - Security 9 Compact, also picked up a Ruger RPR in .22WMR and just recently got a Savage B22 Precision in .22LR.

I gotta get some new pics next time I am cleaning or shooting them

Favorites for different things I guess for me, wouldn't carry the Sec9 if I didn't like it and shoot it well (borrowed the pic from the web).

The precisions for rimfire fun at the square range, I have a lot more .22LR than I do .22 WMR, so I needed the B22 to shoot when I can't find reloading components for the other rifles.

I'll post the B22 Precision pics once I get it scoped - waiting on rings

Here is .22 plinkster with his.
 
I bought 5 in 2021. A NIB Cobray double barrel 410.45colt, a Taurus judge 6.5", a SW M@p 2.0 40 full-sized, a Ruger American 45acp full-sized, a polish PPS-43c in 7.62x25mm future SBR project. Of course, I sold a few I wasn't shooting or didn't like. I went a little overboard since moving to a free state last year.

I've bought 4 this year, but I think my favorite is the Kimber 1911 Black Ice 45acp ... the others include the Ruger 5.7,
2-E3-E9-ABB-5-D59-463-E-96-A8-649-C1-BA5-B789.jpg

Kimber 2" 357 revolver, its a great carry piece ...

and the Kimber 357 4" engraved Combat revolver; its a bit smoother shooting and I like the DASA trigger better than the DAO, but they do serve different purposes.

Oops I forgot a couple. An AMT Automag 3 in 30 carbine and my Daily carry a Seecamp in 380.

Finally fired my MAS M1936-purchased in 1996-using my cartridge adaptor.
