gfl216 220 Posted June 8, 2013 I was thinking today about my favorite gun that I own and thought it would be cool to hear the story of other guys favorite gun. So here's mine. She's not the prettiest girl at the dance and if I knew I was going to a gun fight I would probably leave her in the safe but, She's #1 in my heart. It's my S&W Model 10 38 special. This gun was my fathers gun and he carried it every day of his 35 year career as a Jersey City Police Officer. If this gun could talk I could only imagine the stories it could tell. The gun was fired in the line of duty on more than one occasion and always brought dad home safe. Dad is gone now but when I take the model10 to the range it's almost like shooting with him one more time. That's my story about my favorite gun. Let's hear about your favorite gun and why.

blksheep 466 Posted June 8, 2013 GLOCK 22...was bought when I started my career and it holds sentimental value. It was bought in December of 2002 as a Christmas present. Its not pretty or holds a lot of monetary value but it was my first. Its now semi retired and neatly packed away only to be had for special occasions.

nitrospaz9 10 Posted June 8, 2013 I know some will laugh but my Taurus 1911 is my favorite gun. It even beats my new Deagle. The 1911 was my first gun and after about 1400 rounds I finally had my first failure to eject and it was the Ammo's fault. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gfl216 220 Posted June 8, 2013 Ruger 10/22 takedown. Ruger 10/22 Takedown is a great rifle but why is it your favorite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silphidae 33 Posted June 8, 2013 Handgun - Glock 34 Gen 4. I knew I wanted it and had to wait a year for them to be available. Rifle - CZ 452. Dead accurate and just plain fun at 100 yards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stonecoldchavez 92 Posted June 8, 2013 My SIG P239. Because it was my 1st one....and you never forget your first one. Shoots smooth and has never given me any problems no matter what ammo is run through it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a pretty cool heirloom. You are lucky to have it. I have a friend that tracked down his fathers revolver from when he was an Cop and was able to buy it back. Very cool! I have an AR that I like to shoot more often than the others and a tricked out G35 that I grab more often then the others, but I don't really have a "favorite" gun. I have an MP5 that is issued to me and is probably the most fun gun I have to shoot, but that will never be "mine". A few folks here have shot it too. I have mostly Glocks (5) and ARs (4). They are simple tools. They have no character or anything to make them stand out. Although I do have a US Rifle Cal. .30 M1 that is pretty cool, it isn't my favorite. I wasn't able to buy my first issued sidearm (a S&W 4013 TSW, although I hated that gun it would be cool to have still) when we traded them in and transitioned to Glocks and I sold the first gun I ever bought for myself to one of my partners (HK P2000 LEM - it was too different than my issued gun and like to keep things simple). I need to get something with a "soul" that I can hand down to my son one day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mreed731 5 Posted June 8, 2013 My 1976 S&W Model 15 38 special. Bought it used/like new in 1980 for $100.00 and I use it to impress my friends with my incredible sharp shooter abilities (it's really the gun, not me). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iCARRY 0 Posted June 8, 2013 I don't really have a favorite. My glock 23 was my first gun. Bought it about 12 years ago. Will never sell it. I really enjoy shooting my SAR-1(ak-47). It always goes to the range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 396 Posted June 8, 2013 I am a proud .22 fanatic. My favorite rifle is my Marlin 795. I put it in a walnut stock, it wears tech sights and has the DIP trigger kit. Very light and accurate. My favorite handgun is my Browning Buckmark. I wish I could afford an AR and a steady diet of centerfire ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MedicYeti 96 Posted June 8, 2013 My favorite is a Model 1917 Enfield, built in Eddystone PA. I got it cheap as a really beat up gun and sent it to Mil-Tech Arms who tore it down and rebuilt it with a Match Barrel and a hand finished stock. 30-06. This gun is much more accurate then I am, with a slip on recoil pad it is easy on the shoulder. I was competing with my brother; him using my scoped 10/22 and me using the M1917, and I won. We were shooting the "Sink a Ship" targets (like battleship). 100 yards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexTheSane 236 Posted June 8, 2013 My 92fs is my first handgun and my favorite. My favorite rifle is the cx4. Uses the same magazines as my 92fs. They make quite a pair. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 1911 was my first gun and after about 1400 rounds I finally had my first failure to eject and it was the Ammo's fault. Not me. I was thinking the same when I saw the title of thread. Love my Taurus 1911 .45. She has never let me down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrg455 6 Posted June 8, 2013 My first, second, third......and so on are LONG gone. I never had any sentimental value attached to any of my firearms. It's just a silly emotion that is wasted on an inanimate object......Then my father gave me his first rifle. It is definitely not a museum piece or worth a lot (maybe $100), but I wouldn't give it up for anything. It's a JC Higgins model 42 (.22 S,L,LR). My father and Uncle saved up some Birthday Money and headed down to the local Sears and Roebuck and walked out with this. I am very lucky as my Parents are still alive, but there is connection that I now hove to this Rifle that I cannot explain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
