Which of your handguns always gets the attention of your buddies?


...generates the most "discussion"


Maybe it's the most attractive gun....maybe because it's the most amazingly accurate at the range no-matter-who-shoots-it....maybe it's rare...



Or, maybe think of this way...which of your buddies/neighbors/etc - their handgun brings out the green (ENVY) in you?


...makes you say things like "Dang....that's a nice one"....or "I really want to get one of those".....or maybe even "Wish I had never sold mine...best I ever had"



Everybody has "users"...."beaters"...not interested in those
Also not interested in "what a deal" guns (got this one for $100, etc.)



Looking for a list of "remarkable" and "impressive" handguns....they are obvious...stand out in a crowd.

Doesn't have to be expensive....or tricked-out....might be...might not be.


Let's get a list going...I'm curious. :cool:
 
This one never fails to attract attention at the range.

Hey Dan. This one attracts a fair amount of attention. I think it's the grips.

This one

With the light, it draws attention because of the light. When the light is not attached, the monolithic-looking rail tends to draw stares and start conversation.

This one is also my daily carry gun.
 
S&W 625.

Many people have shot for years but never used moonclips. And while .45ACP revolvers aren't exactly hens teeth, they're not your everyday gun. Smooth and accurate gun, too -- esp. in single action.

(I also think it's as good-lloking a revolver as S&W has ever made. If I should get any more of those down the line, I'd like them all to be stainless with black Hogue grips ;))

A friend of mine has a H&K USP Match .45 that fit me like an extension of my arm and shot to the exact point I was aiming at. He doesn't shoot as often as he used to, and I offered to take it off his hands for a not-inconsiderable sum, but he declined. Instead it's wasting away in his safe. He has other nice toys, but that one is the one that gets me going.
 
I have a modest collection, but probably my CZ Kadet that I had drilled/tapped with installed Millett red dot. Gets the most use too.

Rifles, gotta be my CZ carbine in x39. "What does that shoot?" "Same stuff the AK 47 does." "Wow, no kidding."
 
Desert Eagles get a lot of attention. So do guns that are "pimped out", lots of chrome and/or gold plated. Anytihng vaguely "assault weapon" looking will too like a Tec 9. Anything loud like a snub .44mag.
 
everyone is crazy about my sa mc operator. they get all gitty when i bring it out, and everyone wants a piece of it. it is a great feeling. also non black rifle owners always get hot and bothered when the ar comes out!
 
Probably my old 5 screw K-22, old Colt Match Target Woodsman and Colt Service Model Ace. The old ones get looked at for more than contemporary models.
 
Grandpas' old Colt.

My Grandad gave me an old Colt .44-40 about twenty years ago. I still shoot it occassionally, with BP cartridges, per his instructions. It's a "Peacemaker" with bird head grips. Only revolver that has ever fit my hand halfway decently.
 
My S&W 65, It has a 4" pencil barrel and is moonclipped, when I can send 24 rounds down range with a revolver nearly as fast as a guy using a Bottom-feeding, Brass-puker and then pick up all of my empties just by picking up three things.
