I would say any of my 25 ACP mouse guns.
M1 carbines and sxs shotguns.
You can't put a scope on an M1 carbine very easily. It's a ghost ring or nothing. SxS shotguns are turn of the century. Not last century, the one before that. About all they're good for is shooting upland game without steel shot. Nobody uses them for anything else.
I have both and I hardly ever shoot either one anymore. I still like to drag them out of the safe and remember the good times though.
The .38-40 was a pretty serious round for short range encounters from what I've read. The old standard of poke a big hole at modest velocities with dead soft lead bullets still has relevance.My 1889 Winchester '73 in .38-40. Maybe the original assault rifle with a 14 round capacity in an age of single shots. The Indians did well with them, but obsolete for that purpose now.
Still lots of fun to shoot.
What 3 pages, and no one has said-Glock! (or 1911, for that matter....)
Try getting a double on partridge with a pump. I've done it with a double 16 GA. The 3rd shot is generally wasted anyway.There are many avid bird hunters that disagree.
1911
My Dan Wesson Valor is flawless, but pretty much obsolete. Still I do carry it sometimes.
