Shouldn't you guys be posting pictures of these guns?

 

[daveit]

I love shooting my Marlin 39A the most...must bring back memories of my RR BB Gun or something...

 

[mulh222]

My Sharps 1874 45-70 cal Billy Dixon buffalo rifle with a full length 6X brass scope. It hasn't seen long distance yet since our local ranges are only 200 yds-Damn!

 

[blue_ridge]

of the 50 or so guns I've owned, my Sig P226 Elite is the most satisfying. My Marlin 1895 45-70 is 2nd.

 

[S&W-Keeper]

99.9% Colt Diamondback for $400 otd.

 

[JoshX3]

My COLT!

Got myself a stainless Colt Commander .45 this year. Love it love it love it.

 

[JustinL]

A lovely Colt New Service, formerly of the RCMP. It was my holy grail gun and now it is mine. All is well in the world.

 

[thriftyjoe]

Glock 19. its simple. its shoots. its works and will last a long time....

 

[rogertc1]

Bought 41 this year.

 

[chriske]

One used but excellent 2" barreled S&W mod 15-3.
Just as accurate as its 4" counterpart & lots more fun to shoot.
Cost me 250 Euro (plus 85 Euro for the license, if you can believe it)

 

[Radagast]

S&W Model 18-3.

 

[YaNi]

First autoloading pistol: Glock 19

Shot about 750 rounds through it since I got it in October. Not one failure. It's beautiful simplicity.

My Best of 2009: 4" S&W Model 14-2

I bought what appears to be a 1962-made S&W Model 14-2 with a 4" barrel. It's not It's not a Dayton example or a KCPD-order gun and it shows no sign of a rebarrel job. When I get the $50 together, I'm going to get it lettered by S&W. I sold a shooter-grade Model 10-7 and bought this with the money. If it's an original 4" Model 14, I got a rare, rare gun very cheaply.

It's been holstered a lot which makes me suspect that it did armed guard or law enforcement duty. Even if it has been rebarrelled, I'll be happy. The cylinder frame and works are definitely Model 14 (I have another for comparison.) It's the best shooting 4" K-frame I've ever shot. The trigger is just so sweet.

Below are pictures from the listing. The plum caste is all over the gun but it doesn't look like that in the pictures.

 

[BullRunBear]

A Marlin 39. God, it's fun!
A 3 digit flattop Blackhawk. God, it's smooth!

 

[Norinco982lover]

Saiga 7.62x39 (converted it myself). I also really like my CZ82...although it doesn't conceal as well as my XD45C so I am tempted to get rid of it and pick up a shotgun.

Beretta Mod 86 with tip up barrel. Looks like new and shoots great.

 

[hiram2005]

A Kimber StainlessII in 9MM and a Colt Mustang PlusII, in the box, unfired with 3 mags.

 

[Ohio Gun Guy]

Every red cent spent on guns, ammo, etc. was the BEST!


But to answer the question.....A CZ75B

 

[fedlaw]

I have only bought one gun in 2009 (so far), but it is a beaut: A Kimber Target Match. I only use it in competition, but the more I shoot I, the better I like it.

I have left it completely stock, except for the Craig Spegel Blackwood grip panels.
