I'm a really big fan of the higher end Sig X5 models. They make me look like a much better shot than I really am.

Like shooting my little .380 Colt Mustangs about as much as any handgun. Followed by any 1911.

I think the PMR definitely tops the fun list, I also agree uzis are up there.

any high cap, small caliber pistol is a blast. Krinks, ar pistols, PLR-16

kel-tec has the market on "fun guns", just wish they weren't so elusive

Probably a Ruger MkII(?) .22 with a very long barrel (at least 8" or more). I recall easily outshooting my friend, who was shooting at the same targets ~40-50 yds away with a SKS rifle. Laser beam accurate!

The general 1911/.45 ACP platform is hard to beat in terms of feeling natural and usable. Too many specific models to name.

HK P7.

S&W model 27 .357 Mag. Stunningly beautiful and sweet shooting. When I bought my 686P (itself a true classic), I was yearning for my first ever stainless revolver, and a modern platform. But I've since started to miss having tradition as an option....need to pick one of those up....

I have a feeling I would really dig a Desert Eagle in .357 and .44 Mag as well, no need to go to the gigantic calibers.

Ruger MK series pistols, that is if you can actually find ammo to feed it. I miss the days of walking into any gun shop and walking out with two 500rd bricks for $50.

For pure ammo wasting fun,,,

For pure ammo wasting fun,,,
It's hard to beat my Taurus 22-PLY.



This little gal brings out my inner James Bond.

It's surprisingly easy to hit with,,,
And is extremely reliable.

I can't shoot this without a huge grin,,,
it's just so very cute.

For about 3 rounds, a Smith and wesson 500 magnum.

It is a real toss up between my Buckmark and 1959 Single Six.

My dad's Chiappa 22 1911. It is a CHEAP gun but really, really fun and decent accurate. Pure fun and waste of ammo... That is a good way to put it!

Rented a S&W 500mag around the time they first came out. I'm not a big dude, 5'9" 155lb but it was actually really fun to shoot! Kinda wish it wasn't an indoor range, 25yds seemed really short for such a heavy round. But it was a sweet shooter none the less.

Yea, my 460 sounds like a Cannon going off, and you'd better have earplugs in when it goes off! The concussion impacts every molecule in your body!
Yet because the bullet I use is only 200gr and barrel is ported, I can shoot it comfortably with one hand.

The most fun shooting a handgun has to be the V51, at least for me.

I've been into small guns lately. My Bond Arms 3.5 inch barrel .410/45C is a real "blast" to shoot. I need the 2.5 inch 45 Colt barrel now.
