If it doesn't get used it's out. That's my policy. I shoot everything I own as much as I can.

My great-grandfather's Colt 1911 and my grandfather's Winchester 1906 both meet the definition.

speaking of which I just pulled out a couple and did my 6mos check over and oiling on them.

I just did the same with my CZ 452 (in 17HM2) last weekend. It's the closest I have to a safe queen.

No true safe queen here but the again I don't feel like I have enough guns to make some safe queens yet.

I keep my queens in the toolshed.

 

But I have a Mini-14 and a Ruger 10/22 that I never shoot. And a Colt HB Match Sporter II that I've only been shooting a couple times a year.

I have an S&W Model 19-4 I bought with no plans on shooting it. I also have a Springfield Armory 1911 that I put about 50 rounds through and then stuck it in the safe. The rest of them get used whenever I get a chance though.

of my vast collection my only true safe queen is a German take back BYF 1942 Mauser. It is in great shape, still has the white lettering on the rifle (even if its starting to really age), no import marks, or grindings on the receiver.

 

unlike my Romanian and Yugo Mauser this one gets nice clean non corrosive ammo, and that is well ha never. I say i'll shoot it, and it most likely will only see real ammo when we shoot the world war one movie.

 

Will post pictures tomorrow or later on.

It varies between them all being 'safe queens' or almost none of them. It just depends on if I am shooting them or not!

 

But seriously, I don't have any specific firearm that doesn't get shot. Some may get shot more, but none just sit there. Maybe if I had more.

My grandfather's 1st gen Colt SAA. I'll shoot it once in a while when I'm thinking of him.

 

The only weapon I have that I've never shot is my Mosin Nagant.

You forgot a "Special Edition Collectable" type category.

 

I picked up this OOP 2-tone DE in .44 last summer. Its a classy color combo without being too blingy like the all chrome or gold model. Its the first gun i've ever had malfunction if you don't grip it like it owes you money! lol

 

springfield 1911 125th anniversary edition.. everything else gets used..

 

Tony, don't you mean a 100th anniversary edition??

Oh I would like to see that gun on person.. Very nice..

DE 44 mag is one of the heaviest guns I ever picked up..not to mention that each 44 magnum bullet adds another once in weight. Very cool gun though!

Bringing this old thread back, I have a one and only safe queen (mod 98, no import marks and still has the eagle swastika screws) for now until I get my model 29.

125th NRA anniversary edition..

Every one i own is a safe queen. My mossy 9200 and my 870 have only been deer hunting a few

Times over the last 10 years or so, every thing else has been used one trip

To the range. Sucks living so far from a range.

my dads old 16ga side by side and muzleloader.

Only one. And it is the only one I would never sell. A Soviet SKS my pop brought back from Viet Nam. It had been missing an Op Rod, so the prior owner had been using it like a bolt action. The gun looks like hammered shirt, but it shoots every time, and pretty straight.It is now back to being an autoloader thanks to sksparts.com. I take it out once a year.

I got my part a few years back. Hopefully before SKSParts slept around.

It would have to be my Taurus 66.

It seems like I have as many safe queens as everyone here combined. Of 34 guns, I shoot about 5 "regularly". My interest in guns is 2 fold; military history and self defense. The historic guns are seldom fired, and come out to make conversation or to be inspected. I have a lot of 8mm and 7.62x54R so I could fire the Mausers and Mosins, but I can't hunt with them here so I don't feel the need. .30-'06 and 7.7 is too expensive to justify shooting the M1 and Arisaka. The SKS is my SHTF rifle and I'd like to keep the ammo for that purpose. While my 1911 is of WWII vintage I still take it to every range trip, along with the M&P and whatever other handgun.

 

I just re-qualified Expert on my issued M4 so my rifle skills aren't slipping yet. Maybe I've become complacent x_x

I recently acquired a footlocker Cambodian chick

All my guns get shot. I even give a fair* amount of trigger time to my 12 ga slug gun.

 

*at $2/round fair = 5 or 6 per outing.

$2 a round for slugs! Really? Please elaborate so I know not to get hooked on what you are doing
