Rifle it's the 30-30 lever action. I like the exposed trigger, the way it cycles, how long ago they were invented yet still hold their own.

For pistols it's the Sig 220. I lusted after them for 15 years before getting them. They way it feels in my hand is just better than any other pistol including a 1911.

For shotguns it's the Mossberg 500. I like the tang mounted safety and nothing getting in the way when I load a shell into the magazine tube.

I usually happy with most firearms these are the ones that feel extra special to me.
 
pockets wisecracked,

I've always been kind of partial to the 'Puckle Gun'
Click to expand...

Hahahhaaaaa. Square shot or round shot?
 
M14/M1A... My 2nd favorite would be the M1. I basically view the M14 as perfecting the M1. Accurate enough, full power, light recoil, high capacity, older-style look to it, good ergonomics, great sights, etc.
 
Oh this one is easy.

Minigun.

It's the holy grail of "OMG" firepower.

Unbelievably expensive to own and shoot.

Therefore I'll never have one.

And I'll always WANT one.

As such... it wins, hands down.
 
(3-way tie) a good, quality 1911 .45 ACP, 3.5" Smith & Wesson 27-2 .357 mag,
and a 4" Smith & Wesson 19-3 .357 mag. Close, very close is an old West German
.45 ACP SIG-SAUER P220A~! ;) :D

You know, I'm and old fart and always forgett'in something~! In this case, it is the
Smith & Wesson model 39 and the alloy model 39-2 9mm semi-auto. These were
equipped with silencers, and originally used to squash sentry's, guard dog's, and
ducks during the Viet-Nam War. The proper name at the time was "Hush Puppies";
and were used on covert operations within the jungle. If memory serves me right,
I believe the U.S.Navy Seal Teams were the first to implement the use of the "Hush
Puppies". My good friend and THR member isp2605 [formerly of the Illinois State
Police] informed me that his department was the first major department to issue
the S&W model 39-2's, in 'bout 1968 (I think~?) Therefore, I own 2x model 39-s's
one of which has NEVER been fired; in original blue cardboard box, with all doc's~!

The rifle that saved the world, the M1 Garand. Love mine, it is very special to me because of its heritage and its genius.

I'd also pick the 1911 for the same reasons.
 
P-08 Luger my uncle brought back from Germany at the end of WW II.
Right now I am having a serious love affair with a 9mm EMP. Just something about that gun. The style, the accuracy, the quality feel. I have had a lot of guns in my life, but have never been as smitten as I am with the EMP.
 
Pistol? Glock 40 cal

Revolver? S&W L frame 357

Game Rifle? '98 Mauser type. (Mine is a 1948 Husqvarna made with FN action)

Patrol Rifle? AR-15, 5.56 cal

Defensive Shotgun? Remmie 870 P

Field Shotgun? Remmie 870 12ga

22 Rifle? Ruger 10/22

22 Pistol? S&W M41

If I could just keep one pistol, rifle and shotgun?

Glock 23, 40 cal

AR-15

Remmie 870 P

The Second Amendment is NOT about hunting. ;)
 
That is really an unfair question there are so many to choose from

just thinking about it makes my brain hurt

the ones i like the most are the ones i will never be able to afford to own or shoot
like an M-107 .50 cal LRSR and a BAR
Love the Thompson sub machine gun

Love my muzzleloaders and 1858 C&B revolvers a lot too

Love my SKS and 10-22 for cheap fun shooting

Love my .44Mag blackhawk and my .50 Desert Eagle
Love my PT 92 because of its ambidextrous safety
