1911s.
I kid, I kid! Aside from the engineer in me screaming that a feed ramp integrated to the barrel (or at least a straight feed angle) is a modern necessity and external extractors are so much more effective, a good 1911 is a lovely thing.
I know you can get those, but then it doesn't say 'workhorse' like a plain parkerized USGI m1911a1.
I was going to say this. The M1911 (in its WW2 guise) is still my "standard" handgun, even though I have lots of newer ones. In fact, a 1911 is the first handgun I ever owned (back in 1967), and I still have that particular one.1911
I like SP1's and A2's.
Oh yes.How about a single shot falling block #1?
Sometimes you just like something without good reason. Often guns fit that mold. What are your favorite guns that you know are obsolete, inefficient, or objectively-not-the-best for the job you use it for?
For me there are a couple:
Single or double barrel shotguns for hunting. I can’t really think of a time when these can’t beat by a pump or semi, but they’re just charming to me. The wood and steel elicit a nostalgia that the plastic of a modern scattergun just can’t compete with.
Another is the large framed .38 revolver, like a model 10. Heavy, low capacity, and underpowered for their size, they’re objectively beaten in every category by even compact autos or similarly sized magnum revolvers. However, the wear on the finish of an old, blued .38 is something special. When compared to a lot of other pistols it’s pretty obvious there are better guns you could carry, but on a Sunday I like the idea of a model 10 in a well-worn leather holster.
or any one who knows anything at all about ANY clay shooting game.There are many avid bird hunters that disagree.
<old man voice> That's that thar M16A2, what them whippersnappers that went to Kuwait wuz issued......</old man voice>
I don’t know that much about shotguns.I don't buy obsolete or inefficient guns, but I own quite a few single shot rifles and shot gun. May be you just don't know as much about shotguns as you think you do.
My Division, 7thID(L), actually had them in Panama. I was a REMF, so I was issued an A1.OEF/OIF, Yugo, Nicaragua all where with A2/M9
I don’t know that much about shotguns.
But you’d be hard pressed to convince me that there’s something that a single shot or double does that a semi doesn’t.
I reserve all judgement if it’s something that just really works for you.
