I see your M2 and raise you

 

[25-5]

My brother in law was a Commander in the CPD. He gave me his duty revolver. A S&W 4" Combat Magnum that he had nickel chromed. It looked terrible from bad cleaning and holster wear so I sent it to Ford's for a reblue. Before I got it back, he sadly passed and never saw the result.

I fold. If this was a cannon thread, then I would have picked The Schwerer Gustav (Heavy Gustaf) railway gun. It must have been beyond awesome to see it in action.

I wasent really sure of the rules... Man portable? Crew served? Vehicle mounted?

I thought that six 50's mounted on a P-51 was kind of pushing it.

Broomhandle Mauser. Wanted one since seeing a photo in my uncle's American Rifleman mag when I was 5 years old.

Lots of guns I love, but only one that is a "spirit gun", meaning, as soon as I pick it up, it just feels right. Like the grip and heft is molded into my DNA. Almost a paranormal experience of a past life.

It's my Uberti 1873 Peacemaker in .45 Colt. I've been tempted to get a shorter barreled model; specifically the Uberti SASS Pro...



But, my current 1873 will have to suffice for now...

I know the feeling...

 

[MosinT53Hunter]

I wish I had my own firearm stories when I was growing up, but most of my immediate family is basically anti-gun. I find it surprising that when my father was in a boys military school, he was awarded sharp shooter twice, and yet, seems he never picked up a firearm after that. Seems odd I got all the gun loving genes.

[Bruce D Pease]

Spirit rifle 03a3
Spirit auto loader 1911a1 ( my sometimes secondary weapon) (secondary mos 0331 [1919a4]) (Primary mos was (0311 ....rifleman..... but I already have the greatest battle implement ever invented a US rifle cal 30 M1.......but a BAR would be nice too )
Spirit revolver my dads. S &W 357 highway patrolman with a six inch barrel. Mom needed the money after dad passed in 76 so it got sold. (Still trying to track it down)
And just for fun I’d love a 9 mm artillery Luger and a Mauser C96 broomhandle.

 

[WestKentucky]

Can I have 2? I already said mountain howitzer, but I’m kinda feeling a draw for a Webley Fosbery too.

Looking over a half-moon sight ...feel the spirit?

What's y'all's spirit gun ?

In between all the gun purchases through the years, I've been wanting a Marlin 1894 in .357 magnum for maybe 25 years. For whatever reason, not once had I seen one in a gun shop when I had the cash . . . until this past January of 2020.

Sure, this version wasn't commercially available in the 1990s, but it was worth the wait.

You mean like this one? With matching stock.

I have a Win Mod 70 RMEF edition chambered in 300 WSM. Gorgeous wood on it. It absolutely kills every piece of game it’s pointed at. Darn accurate too. She’s my old trusty.

 

[JR24]

Some variant of the 1911.

 

[Coyote3855]

Would be my Dad's only two handguns, a S&W Model 28-2 and a Colt Woodsman. Both have been passed to his grandson.

 

[Terry G]

My Wife bought it at a Gun Show and hid it until my Birthday. At the time we absolutely could not afford it! Third Generation Colt SAA.

I will check that out. Thanks

My tastes are pretty simple, I always take great pleasure in pulling the trigger on this one.

Those are beautiful! So is the leather.

It was around 1976 when a guy who was renting part of my dads shop showed me his Thompson Center Contender with a .222 barrel. To me, it was the most beautiful firearm I had ever seen.
At the time, I was not in a financial position to even consider buying one but I always remembered that gun.
Almost 40 years later, I stumbled across the one pictured below and just happened to have the cash on hand at the time, so it came home with me.

I have a several more expensive guns. but this is the one I will never part with.
