Every now and then we see threads pop up where someone mentions a particular gun has no "soul". Usually, it's a polymer-frame pistol of some sort. Some polymer fanatics at first take offense to this, some don't. Personally, I didn't buy my "plastic" guns because of soul, but I must say, they're ARE some guns I buy because they DO have "soul".
I would like to know what guns you guys think posses soul. In my mind, I think "soul" when I pick up a fine, wood-stocked, hammer-mounted firing pin revolver (love my old Smith wheelies), a 1903 Springfield, a Garand (love my surplus rifles, too!) or a deeply blued "no frills" 1911. No exotic optics/sights, frame-mounted accessory rails and 50 round magazines. In case you didn't pick up on the pattern, wood and blue steel seem to make a firearm seem warm and have soul.
What guns "do it" for you guys?
