Which Gun Are You Proudest To Own ?

[wvshootist]

For me it was a 1917 Model Eddystone given to me by my grandfather. When my brother had his first child I gave it to him to give to my nephew when he was old enough. That was 13 years ago. I have a Revelation 22 semi-auto I got for Christmas when I was 15 or 16 that I am very fond of. Also a single shot Stevens 12 gauge given to me by my wife in 1980.

 

[Extremely Pro Gun]

My AR-15 and Glock. (My dad gave me my glock )

 

[Klayface]

My Sw .460xvr. I see a lot of glock and 1911's at the range but very few have the chest hair to shoot it.

 

[Patriotme]

Kimber Stainless Target II in 9mm.

 

[P97]

I have two.
A Ruger P90DC and a Ruger New Vaquero.

 

[dgvc63]

I have two as well my first .45 circa 1987-1988 Colt 1991A1 Commander and my father's 1950's Mossberg bolt action Model 42M-C .22 short or long rifle 10 shot magazine.

[Rifleman6555]

I have two that I am proud to own. First is my Steyr Mannlicher Mountain Rifle in 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. The second is my Smith & Wesson Model 29 Mountain Gun in 44 Magnum.

 

[Beelzy]

My Racist 1919a4...........For some reason I can let anyone but a Japanese person shoot
it.

Seriously, hangs up like it's broken.

 

[mack]

June 1944 CMP M1 Garand - like the one my father carried in Korea - I like all my guns but the Garand just means more.

 

[Seedtick]

I have a few guns that belonged to Daddy that are special but the one I am most proud of is an old single barrel 12 gauge. It was made by Bridge Gun Company and has been in our family since the early 1920's. It wouldn't bring $25 at a pawn shop but then again it couldn't be bought at any price either.

[Hokkmike]

SAKO Finnlight in 6.5 X 55.

 

[rattletrap1970]

All of my dad's

I lost my father, a decorated Vietnam Vet at 12:30pm this past Veteran's Day. I'm glad to have had his influence and honored that he passed along his love for shooting. It pleases me greatly that I will be able to take care of his prized possessions and that his love for the sport will carry on. My favorite and most prized is the Marlin 336 30-30 that my mom got for him when they were married. The other is his Star Firestar Stainless .45ACP.

Proudest...Mossberg 500 TALO Tactical Edition and S&W 686

 

[PX15]

My LWS380 does the job for me, and I'm pretty high on my HK P7 too....

[new_pistol_guy]

I am proudest to own my father's Smith and Wesson model 19 revolver he was issued and his Walther PPK/S he used as a back-up. Both keep him safe for many decades. Now they keep me safe.

 

[mikenh]

I would have to say all of them. All of the guns I have and all of the guns that each of you have.

I am proud to be an American who can own as many guns as I want and that I have the freedom to pass that along to other Americans.

A freedom that is a RIGHT.

ditto . well said +1

 

[DeathByCactus]

Colt Custom
Kimber CDP II w/ modified MSH and grips
LWRC M6A2 (soon to be followed by an M6A3 in 556)

 

[Arkansas Paul]

+1 Seedtick. The gun I am proudest to own is a Winchester break 16-gauge. I'm the 3rd Paul in the family to have it. Who knows? Maybe there'll be a 4th and I can give it to him. Not worth anything as far as value. Still shoots true though.

 

[Bennyb747]

I never really thought about it that much, and the last thing I would ever expect is to be proud of something made in china.

But my Milled Polytech Legend with custom made Ironwood Walnut Burl Stocks, makes me smile everytime I see it. It's so beautiful sometimes I catch myself just rubbing the blued steel and walnut and talking to it.

 

[Dazen]

Mine would be my Garand,Winchester 1917 American Enfield,M1 Carbine and Springfield 03.

 

[skwab]

hey rattletrap - I'm sorry for your loss. It's neat that you'll be able to look after your dad's collection.

For me - I'd have to say my sig 229 elite - it's a beautiful gun and the only one I have with wood grips, so she's a looker and a joy to shoot - handles .40 better than anything I've shot. And my M&P 15 - my first and only AR, and it's nothing special - fairly stock except for some Troy drop in tactical handguards, but I bought it before the craziness, and so shortly after there was so much panic within the community, so I'm proud to have it, i'm proud to still be able to purchase another one if I want to, and I hope that right isn't taken away from me or from my son when he gets of age.

My Ol' Pap's Remington Rand M1911A1 from WWII

If I picked just one,...easy,...My Dad's Winchester 94 in 30/30..it's a way pre-64,...but about circa 66 he had some eye issues and had a pistol scope mounted forward of the receiver,..(aka scout rifle style before it was popular). Lost him in 79,..but still have the gun,..and a lot of memories. It's still a good looking gun and an excellent shooter,..the scope is an old 4X Weaver fixed,..nothing fancy at all,...but it put's em where I point them every time out to about 150 yards. I used it just this last weekend deer hunting just for the hell of it,...and because I could. No other reason than that.
