what kind of guy are you? - Page 4

Rabbitt · April 21, 2014, 03:35 PM

Primarily a 1911 guy. Fifteen and counting.
However.
I think my signature says it best.

**Spats McGee** · April 22, 2014, 03:17 PM

I've been thinking about this thread for a few days, and I still haven't come up with a good term for myself. I guess I'm a low-maintenance shooter.

Low-maintenance: I don't mind doing the basic upkeep on a firearm, but I like low-maintenance finishes. Just about everything I own is either Parkerized or stainless. As much as I like the looks of a beautiful, blued pistol, I don't have any desire to put in the work to keep 'em purty. Just about everything I've got is a matte finish, slightly scuffed or holster-worn.

Shooter: If I can't take it out and shoot it, I won't keep it. I'm a thoroughly awful collector of fine, well, anything. If I can't take it out of its case and use it, I don't want it. I don't care if it's a firearm or a fountain pen. I need for a gun to go bang, and I need for it to go bang, exactly when it is supposed to, every time. I understand that guns are mechanical and can fail, but I'll sacrifice a whole lot of Pretty for Reliable.

Skans · April 22, 2014, 03:24 PM

I'm a "Euro-gun" guy. My two favorite guns are: Sig X-Five and Tanfoglio Stock 10mm. After those two, then it would be my Belgian Browning Hi Power. In fact, I was shooting my X-Five today. Amazingly accurate out to 50 feet.

smokehouse4444 · April 24, 2014, 11:32 AM

I have many different makes of handguns, but if I had to single out just one, I suppose I would be a "SIG" guy.

Deja vu · April 24, 2014, 01:10 PM

Im a 357 magnum guy. I have many guns and about 1/2 are 357 magnums. I have Rifles, revolvers and autos in 357 magnum. I use it for self defence, plinking, hunting small game, hunting mule deer, shooting paper and even some competitive shooting. I feel it is a very well rounded caliber.

Of my other guns all of them are 45-70 Govt, 22LR or 12ga. I like not having to stock a huge variety of rounds. The only thing I think I should add is some thing flatter shooting and better for long range. Leaning toward 308, 30-30 or 30-06.

Lt. Skrumpledonk Ret · April 24, 2014, 01:58 PM

I like those WWI infantry rifles that are 50 inches long and have a 16 inch bayonet

BIG P · April 24, 2014, 10:51 PM

Aint sure But if I had to guess I would be a gun SLUT GUY

You know big little,short or tall I Love them all.

mrray13 · April 26, 2014, 07:10 PM

I think I fall into the category of "gun guy".. I own import and domestics, plastic and steel, new and old, revolver and auto, striker and hammer, SA and DA. Even have a safe queen but the rest are shooters. While I might l have tendencies, I don't have set favorites. If I had to pick something more specific, I'd be a "Royal Blue Colt Python guy", lol.

Model12Win · April 26, 2014, 07:48 PM

I'm a revolver guy.

Specifically, .38 special and .357 magnum "duty" revolver guy! LOVE the old cop and military wheelguns. I spend most of my time at the range and in research with them.

NateKirk · April 26, 2014, 09:47 PM

I'm a Mauser guy. I love all the guns they made, rifles and handguns.

stormyone · April 27, 2014, 12:31 AM

Imma 357 magnum guy.

volkstrm · April 27, 2014, 01:49 AM

Well for me I am a steel is real guy for sure. I like cz's & sig's the best but must be steel or alloy. None of the plastic crap for me. If I wanted that I would get a toy.

9mmfan · April 27, 2014, 01:56 AM

Just a guy. A guy who likes guns. And stuff.

hlds54 · April 27, 2014, 04:21 PM

Im a-as-long-as-it-goes-bang-and-works guy. I love everything, Glock, Sig, 1911, HK, AR,AK, 870,500,etc

griffin12aaa · April 27, 2014, 10:02 PM

As I said before I'm a gun guy love em all but if someone is cruel enough to make me choose just on I'm a 4 inch k frame 357 magnum guy. Oh yea bright stainless with some nice wood on it.

Tucker 1371 · April 28, 2014, 12:48 AM

I'm a 1911 and M14 guy... I was born in the wrong decade, I'm 24 and I also like mostly classic rock (Skynyrd rules!) and the sexiest looking cars on earth were muscle cars made between 1965 and 1970 (Challengers, Mustangs, Chevelles and GTOs).

Oysterboy · April 28, 2014, 05:33 AM

Yep, you were born in the wrong decade.

I love classic rock and classic cars. 1965? I had a Ford Mustang (289), Buick Skylark (300 special aka baby Wildcat), Pontiac Tempest (326) and Plymouth Fury III (318) of that year.

Strong buggers and all small block.

griffin12aaa · April 28, 2014, 05:58 AM

➕1 on being born on the wrong decade. Better music, better cars, better guns.

NavyVet1959 · April 28, 2014, 12:02 PM

As the old saying goes, "Ya' gotta dance with the one that brung ya'". As such, I prefer some form of M1911 and .45ACP if at all possible.

Dusty Rivers · April 28, 2014, 03:44 PM

I am a metal gun guy (love Sigs, Colts, Rugers, Sako's , LMT) ,

but first and foremost I am a second amendment guy that supports your right to keep and bare what ever you like, including non metal arms.

RBid · April 30, 2014, 01:22 AM

Striker fired, poly frame, service capable... G19, P99, M&P full size... I have a type, no question.

**Mike Irwin** · April 30, 2014, 06:12 AM

I'm a pre-2000 S&W blued revolver guy.

Legionnaire · April 30, 2014, 08:31 PM

I am predominantly a stainless Ruger revolver guy. Redhawk, Blackhawk, GP100, SP101, Single Six ... even a couple of Old Armies. I enjoy reloading .357 and .44 mags across the full power spectrum from powder puff to heavy magnum loads, and it's nice not to have to chase my brass. So for range and field use, definitely a Ruger revolver guy.

That said, my (non-Ruger) semi-autos in 9mm and .40S&W see more CCW duty, even though I do carry an SP101 on occasion.

I agree! I think this is what we all are! I like Revolvers, Others like 1911s, others like Glocks and still others like Derringers. No Matter what I like I support others rights to carry what they like.

Westy39 · April 30, 2014, 09:17 PM

Griffin12aaa; you are a bad person...... You must take a stand and decide what you enjoy shooting the most,,,, then just send the rest to me for safe keeping. I am here for you, if you need someone to talk to in a time of question and need,,, hey I am here for you. Ok, I admit it if it goes bang I too like it but I acknowledge my weakness and you must too. You must admit this weakness before you can start the healing process..... ahhh what was the question ???
