What is your favorite rifle and pistol that you have owned or currently own?
My Favorite rifle is a Marlin 1895 Guide gun 45/70 with an 18 inch ported barrell. Loud as anything but I have a Wild west trigger and ghost ring sights. Thats one smooth lever action rifle. Best brush gun I have ever owned. Most natural pointer I have in stock.
My favorite pistol thats a bit harder. I have a few and I'll split into a couple catergories. No pics right now.
I love my 1911 Kimber. I got one that runs flawlessly.
For a Revolver I love my Super Redhawk 44 mag. Not the fastest, or concealable but I love to shoot it.
Everything else is a working gun.

I love the lever guns, I've got the 45/70, 444, 35 Reminton, and 30-30 all from Marlin and all are smooth. I really like my SW 629 8 1/2 barrel and my Sig 226.

I love my H&K P7M8...once you become accustomed to it, it really is such a smooth operation and just points so naturally to me.
Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.

That's why I like my 218 quals even though I'm retired the department still furnishes the ammo and even swap me out each year with fresh.

I like my Glock 17, 9mm. It can hold about 17 rounds and shoots real nice. I have fiber optic sights on it. Sad part is my daughter outshoots me, which she can do with most any gun.
2nd favorite and starting to become my first is my Keltec P3AT (.380). It fits nice in my side pocket so no one knows I have it and is comfortable. I am actually learning how to shoot it real good. It just took some getting used to like everyone said it would. The bad part it only holds 6 rounds.Live Life; Don't let life live you.

No complaints with this one. I carry the 21SF on duty and no worries at all. Originally Posted by retdetsgt

I HATE these "pick one" threads. It hurts the other gun's feelings. :(
I'm fickle. Right now it's a 4" Smith 586 .357 magnum.Don't try and outweird me, I find weirder things than you in my breakfast burrito.

Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

My Kimber 1911 is my favorite. The guy just sits so perfectly in your hand and shoots so smoothly.

Actual conversation with suspect
Suspect: Why am I under arrest?
Me: For posession of CDS.
Suspect: Man, it wasn't CDS! It was E pills!
