I have a Beretta PX4 9mm.....Great gun and very accurate shot! ....I sleep better at night knowing it's there if I need it.
Beretta M9 Parabellum; Beretta AR 90 ["civilian market" version, of course], but I prefer the ARX 160.
that's an expensive collection. I could buy more guns, but I chose not to as I think I have better things to do with my money. plus, i rarely shoot.
I have a spud gun. You stick the business end into a potato, pull back the spring, and it shoots little pellets of potato. It has an effective range of about 5'. It's been in my family for decades.
I have a 155 MM howitzer in my backyard and a FA-18 E Super Hornet parked in my garage. With that said, now I wait for Obama's paranoid ATF to kick down my door tonight.
I have a Winchester Model 12, aka the perfect repeater, made in 1922. The gun is an absolute marvel. The gunsmith that rebuilt the gun found a hunting license from a county in Missouri in the stock dated 1923. Old timers kept their license in the stock so they always had it. All they needed was a penny to unscrew the two screws in the butt plate and retrieve the license. At any rate, it dropped quail. I had several "2 bird kills" with one shot. Not because the gun. Circumstances were significant, i.e. large coveys. I also have a Mossberg bolt action .410 from the 60's. The family has a 19th century Parker double barrel. It was a great-great uncles shotgun. Only black powder rounds can be fired through it. Once I had a 20 gauge (Remington? Winchester?). I'm left handed and some old timer told me that the shells that ejected from a right handed gun would distract me. This one ejected from the bottom. Fact: shells ejecting from a right handed shotgun don't distract a left handed shooter. My Model 12 made that fact very clear. I never noticed the shells ejecting.
I like standards, you know? Guns that function, that have a track record for accuracy or durability. Nothing too fancy, but guns that work and shoot straight.
Well, lets see Ruger Single six convertible .22/.22 mag Ruger Mark III Ruger 10/22 take down Old marlin .22 rifle S&W M&P 15 .22 Kahr CM9 Sig Sauer P250 .40 SW Beretta 92FS 9mm Sig Sauer P250 .40 SW Ruger Blackhawk Convertible 9mm/.38-.357 Ruger Redhawk .41 Mag Ruger Blackhawk .44 mag SA 1911A1 45 ACP AR15 Old Herter's bolt action rifle .22-250 Bolt action .410 (first real gun) Beretta 686 O/U 12 ga Remington 1148 12 ga Harrington Richardson single action 12 ga Mossberg 500 12 ga
its like 6 cents a bullet. and the amount of space vs even .223, just can't be compared. a 10/22 really is the poor man's weapon of choice.
I've got two .22s that are horribly unreliable. One I'll probably trade off eventually. The other one I got from my grandpa. My sister wants one of his guns after he's gone so I promised that one to her when she gets a more stable living situation where she can lock it up. When she gets it she can have a gunsmith work on it if she wants.
I have four Civil War rifles in various states of condition, the best being a Rifled percussion musket, Model 1861 subcontract E. Robinson, 1863, .58 cal. which looks shootable.
Doubt it, the metal is still very thick and black powder does not create the chamber pressures of modern powders.
All Winchester Mod. 12's are collector items today. They go up in value by the hour. The Winchester Mod. 1200/1300 are based upon the Mod. 12's. The Mod 1300 being the fastest pump action shot gun ever produced, able to fire more rounds per second than any full auto or semi auto shotgun. If the liberals in California had any clue what the Mod. 12 is capable of or the Mod 1300, they would classifie it as an assault weapon and outlaw the weapon. The Mod. 12 saw a lot of action during WW ll with the Marine Corps in the Pacific. When I was in-country in Vietnam I saw M-12's being carried by Marines at Monkey Mountain. From what I remember Marine grunts carried Ithica's, Remington's and Winchesters pump action shot guns. I my self own a Winchester Mod. 1300, Defender 18" (cylin) barrel.

Mine's a Colt M4. This is it the day I brought it home, along with all the stuff it came with. Click for bigger view. I've since swapped the sand furniture (bleh) for black. Maybe my tin-foil tricorn is a little tight, but I'm loathe to list everything I have on the internet. Suffice that I am well equipped.
I have an XM-15, but I use one of the M4 style lowers I build so I can shoot the rifle with my plate carrier. I don't care too much about the brand, though I have entertained the idea of a Colt.
I hear ya but I'm a huge brand-whore. I'm going to build another AR and use Seekins and Noveske and maybe some LaRue.
