Side arm M1911 45 ACP, home protection, Winchester Mod 12 trench gun, hunt with Winchester mod 70 30-06 or Browning Superpose.

Hunt-Rem 30-06
Carry-Summer, SW airlite Winter-Kimber 1911

Carry / home / shop: ParaOrdnance P-12/45 -
A Model 1911 .45 ACP piece, in "Officer's Model" size, but with an 11-round double-row magazine.

Not too big, and the grip is comfortably wide.

- Eric

 

Carried the SIG P210 in A-stan, as well as the Colt Canada C8 IUR (integrated upper receiver).

Have shot the M1911A1, like it a lot better than the P210.

I generally mistrust the small calibers, so I'd go for 6.8 or 7.62 if I was given the chance.

Nearly all WWII weapons, especially the M1 Garand, hold a sweet spot in my heart, as well as the AK series.

 

It would probably be smart of me to list my love life since it I started huh? Currently, at the house I'm in the roomates arent fond of guns so Im not actually holding on to anything atm, but thatll change by this weekend seeing how Im moving back out to my good ol' farmland I loove 1911's and Dan Wesson make a pretty mean one IMO. Trusty 7 1/2" Colt M1873 Peacemaker's another one of my fav's. Drive nails and so easy to control, I learned to shoot off one when I was 8

I had a Johnson M1941 slip just out of reach for 4,500 (which was a steaal considering how much that guns actually worth), have two 1897 Winchesters that are teasing me atm, and Im also trying to get a hold of a VZ-58. BUT of allll the the guns in the world, there are very few that I hold as high as the hexagonal receiver Mosin Nagant 91/30. I truly believe that it is one of the best guns in the world. Best rifle in the world for sure in my eyes. I wanna buy 2 more lol

 

Anyone give a Whip about old Springfield rifle/muskets? [Actually there's one 1841 Harper's Ferry "Mississippi rifle" and one 1863 Remington"Zouave" ] in the pic

 

Do us a favor. Edit "gun n**s" to something that won't show up on Brady Campaign and other anti-firearms groups' search radar. Otherwise they'll be on here raising their usual stink and CO will be in their crosshairs (irony intended).

Don't have any diehard loyalty or preference to any of them though for a handgun I prefer a .32 to .38 revolver with about a 4" barrel. Got tired of tearing up my hands with semis. Yah, yah, I know they have a guard built in.

My favorite guns are my WWII guns. I have 2 original documented Colt 1911's (43 & 44), 2 M1 Garands One original piece and the other a nice rebuilt CWP gun, I also have a bunch from the other guys (mausers, Arisakas and Mosin Nagants), But those are just fillers for the safe.

I've got a bunch more,...but trying to stick with the original list..Never thought I'd be talking firearms on this site,.. but they are a passion as well...

I've got a Model 29 with a 4" barrel. Sometimes I scare myself with that thing.

- Eric

 

my favorite is my 1912 Remington pump action 22 with an octagon barrel. it has been in my family since the 1920's.

 

Smith&Wesson .44 Mag with 10" barrel

 

This is my computer room rack

 

People think i'm crazy but i find the model 29 pretty accurate. (without even having to be a factory load)

Not sure what the 4'' version is like, but when i was buying mine down near Albany, the 8 3/4 was the same price as the 4'' so i went for that.

 

Is that the back of a browning silver hunter?

My old man just picked one of those up a show a couple weeks back, has amazing handling and is pretty quick.

 

Yeah, I find it surprising how accurate it is, too. And how nice the trigger pulls.

The thing about the short barrel is that the shock wave seems to be bigger, or closer - you can actually feel it hit you in the face when you fire.

No silver hunter
I like brownings. I do not currently own any semi-auto shot guns. There is a citori and a couple BPS pumps in my gun rack as well as a model 12 , remington 30-06 and .223 "police"

 

This site could go to war with any other site so it seems. I too am armed, with what I will not say for fear of the gummint looking in.

 

Cool Stuff, the crosshatching in the 3rd from the left Looks Alot like my dass Browning, could also be he changed the grip.

 

I "think"the 2nd and 3rd from the left are Brownings BPS, the 4th is definately a pre 64 Winchester Mod 12. Same as the bottom one below [20 gague]

 

The 3 on the left are brownings. They came with pretty nice furniture from the factory. The mod 12 is a 20gauge with solid rib and ivory bead 1930 serial number

 

Cool saddle ring lever! Love them winchesters

 

Does the Mod 12 say "Nickle steel" on the barrel? Mine was my grand father's. It's a 20 gague and came with 2 sets of barrels,[29" modified [for doves] and 20' cylinder [for quail] the short one has a matted rib, the longer one does not. You may not be able to make it out in the pic, but it came in a canvas take down case with a wooden cleaning rod.

 

Browing 9mm FNHP targeted ramp sight - SN is from shipment of 1940 issue to Chenault's Flying Tigers - NIWP (New in oilskin Wrapping paper with original factory target test shot) Never issued weapon for some reason.
.38 super auto
.22 Colt Ace
.45 ACP
.32 Beretta Tomcat
.357 S&W 5" - Spikeblock issue

Used to be pretty good. Haven't shot any of them for quite some time.

In all honesty? When I first saw this thread you know the term nowadays refers mostly to these....they make one HECK OF A RACKET!!!

 

B@rrel stamped Winchester proof steel 2 3/4 full the research I did showed mine was made the first year that was not nickel steel.

That is cool your model 12 was grandad's do the barrels have the same serial numbers??
My grandads sawed off 12 gauge single shot lives out in the garage.

 

Yes, The barrels have the same serial numbers. The story goes, he traded it for a new fancy Remington auto [most likely a mod 11] didn't like it and traded back. Glad he did.

Back in his day [believe it or not] there were hardly any deer in south Georgia. But quail [Bob white] were plentyful. He used to kill enough quail in one morning, for a church picnic. And of course the dove shoots over peanut fileds kept the family fed.

 

I do feel this is good advice. The only thing I will add is something the gummint already knows. I do have my license to carry.

 

Hunting opener is this weekend. I went to buy 223ammo fleet farm had none.
I went to cabela's and bought the last 2 boxes they had. People be stocking up before the election it seems.

 

Opps, old thread!

General purpose = Kimber Stainless Ultra TLE w/ LG, good stopping power, but small enough to carry everywhere.
