My favorite shooter in my ancient Ruger Standard. Good trigger and accurate.

Mike has the best answer. Personally owned, my G19 Gen 5 is my favorite handgun to shoot. My dad owns a High Standard Sentinel in .22LR that is a joy to shoot. It is probably my favorite gun to shoot, because it is his. He lets me take it out to the range from time to time. Best time I can have with a gun.

Most fun revolver to shoot is without a doubt, hands down, my K38 Masterpiece. What a gem.

Most fun rimfire is my Model 41.

Most fun centerfire semi-auto is a toss up. Colt Gold Cup or any of my CZ's. Model 85 would probably get the nod. Maybe my Sig Elite with the .40 barrel in it.

While not necessarily my favorite or best pistol, my RIA 1911 in .22TCM is really a hoot. Massive fireball with the sound of a small rifle report and almost no recoil.

Historically, I've had the most fun shooting 1911s, but recently, I'm starting to have more fun shooting my Shadow Systems MR920 9mm.

The one that gets the most use is a Ruger 22/45 target model,I wish I could shoot the rest as well as that one.

Fav revolver? One of my K-22 (model 17) with the 3Ts; second and somewhat new to me is a 6" 586

In semi flavor a HK P7, followed by a TRP Operator

My favorite is my SS Ruger GP-100 with a 6" heavy underlug barrel. Even tho' it is a 357MAG, I typically shoot 38 Special the most, handloads of 125 grain plated projectiles. IF shooting 357 Magnum, I use heavy loadings of Win 296 under 140 grain XTP or 180 grain XTP dependent on predator.

My daughter uses the same except her GP-100 is with a 6" heavy Underlug barrel is of Blued Steel construction.

I have to admit - she can outshoot me any day.

Something big. 454 Casull Super Redhawk or M92PV AK Pistol.

For something reasonable, Browning Hi Power
