What are your fun guns?

These are guns that you own just for the pure pleasure of shooting them. They might not be your most accurate guns, nor your prettiest guns. Collector value is probably not there either. But, you simply enjoy shooting them.

I have several guns that I consider my fun guns. One is an old High Standard, Double Action, 9-shot 22 revovler. Actually it is pretty accurate. Maybe not target accurate, but definetly a minute-of-can shooter. I like to shoot it.

So, what are your fun guns?
 
My cheap .22s are my fun guns.. namely my Phoenix HP22A and my old Jennings J-22. Of course, my other .22s are fun, too, but more "refined" (Ruger MK-II and 10/22.)
 
My Fun Guns

Coupla pawn shop orphans, Model 60 Marlin and Nylon 66 Remington, that I picked up for about $50 each and shamelessly bubba'd beyond redemption.

The good Model 60 (top) usually stays new in the box in the closet.
One of the pawn shop orphans accompanies me to the country in the pickup, and if they get dinged or dented or scratched, that just adds to their character.

Got a few .22 rimfire "Fun Guns", too...

MKII Ruger one of the Wm B Ruger Commemorative models

50th Year Single-Six, 4-5/8" barrel, blued, fixed sights, .22LR & .22Mag cylinders

OLD Marlin 99...a $20 Pawn Shop Rescue. IIRC it holds 16 or 17 .22LR rounds in the tube

40th Year 10/22...clear magazine and the medallion on the stock.
 
Colt Woodsman 4"
Winchester 94 .44mag/.44sp saddle ring carbine (everybody esp new shooters love plinking with it and light reloads)
Browning Buckmark Silhouette with 4x Leupold LER glass (great for gophers or chewing up golfballs at 50 yards)
 
ISSC M22 .22 'Glock-a-like'. All the training value of a centerfire pistol at a fraction of the price - and great for breaking in new shooters with extremely minimal recoil and noise.
 
almost forgot!

marlin 917v 17hmr

1300 winchester 12 ga

and my kimber 45 not realy cheap but still a blast to shoot at playing cards in the back yard
 
My Rossi Ranch Hand in .44 Magnum/Special. What is not to like when you shoot a lever action pistol and people look at you funny? That and it is a hoot to shoot.
 
Fun gun?

My lever action .22. Hands down. There's something gratifying about working a lever action and watching that piece of (small) brass fly out of the side of a gun.
 
My 22lr are my fun guns. I have a Ruger Mark III and Taurus revolver. I also have a Marlin 60 and 795. They provide lots of fun and practice.

My other guns are fun as well but they each have a purpose and are practiced with that in mind. The 22lr are for plinking.
 
AR is for work and play, and then the same for the Sig P220

I enjoy shooting them more than the .22's.....until I have to go buy more ammo ;)

My next "fun" gun will be a .308 for some LR shooting.....and a reloading bench to help with everything else :)
 
M1 Garand will do my talking, but tell the truth I miss my fun gun a M60 machine gun would love to shot one again someday.
 
Smith 29 44 mag


Probably provides the most fun of any gun I own. I can almost hear Harry Callahan before I pull the trigger.
 
The ones with triggers. :neener:

Honestly, at the moment...my glock 19 is more fun than anything I've owned. It is a pleasure to shoot fast and accurately. I consider myself a 1911 guy, so it pains me to type that.
 
Almost all of my .22's can be considered fun guns, with my Ruger 10/22 probably being the most fun (as well as being very accurate), to shoot out of all of them. In a revolver, it would have to be my Ruger Vaquero in .45LC. Just something about shooting that gun always puts a smile on my face. My customized Colt Combat Commander would be my favorite semi-auto pistol, as it's both fun to shoot and extremely accurate.
