Pick One, There Is No Wrong Answer. - Page 3

Oddly enough my favorite plinkin' pistol is an old Walther P1, even though I have much more modern and even more coveted alternatives.

Harrington & Richardson Model 969, now on semi-permanent loan to my FIL.

Given that, runner up is S&W Model 686, 4", stoked with reasonably priced .38 Specials.

It's a really neat question but I go through phases and also, I'll have a session with a much-loved old favorite and say "why don't I shoot this way more often?!"

Okay, like I said, horribly difficult to give ONE answer. But one that absolutely qualifies to the wording of the question is my Coonan Classic. It hits so many of the visceral buttons. Good lookin' pistol and somewhat "familiar" at a glance up until it starts barking and throwing ridiculous fireballs. And when you take short videos and check frame by frame, you get to see the awesome "ring of fire." It's no Buseye match pistol but it is surprisingly accurate, mine runs religiously in my hands, the gun is a rolling riot outdoors and a pure spectacle on any indoor range.

My log claims 3,613 through it and that sure isn't enough. So then it's settled -- the Coonan comes along on the next range trip! (thanks for the reminder!

)

Just for plain fun my %4 year old Colt Frontier Scout.

CZ P01 because it makes me look good.

S&W 686 Plus 7 shot .357 with 4" barrel and tuned action.

SAR K2P with the 19 round mag. Who wouldn't love 20 rounds in one hand? I can't get enough. That pistol inspires confidence and the balance and comfort encourage me to practice and improve. I've put about 700 rounds through it in the last 6 weeks and many more to come.

A custom lemat revolver that's basically been machined from the ground up to shoot cartridge ammo. Sacrifices down to 6 rounds of 38 and 1 of 410 but boy she can shoot!!!

It is really hard to say but I will say my Walter, P-38.

ruger 5.5" single six, most fun with a 22wmr replacement cylinder by story, making it a "single eight."

For me it is my S&W K22. I just love shooting that revolver. My seconvd favorite would be my S&W model 41.

Danoobie · April 30, 2017, 02:27 AM

Plinkin' with the 22s at the range.
My favorite is the old scoped MKII
Slabsides.

My favorite all time gun to shoot was my Colt 6" Python. Shot like a dream, extremely accurate, smooth as butter. Unfortunately, I sold it years ago to purchase a Smith Wesson 3913 Tactical 9MM for every day carry. Today, I could kick myself for having sold it. But at the time I needed a carry gun, and the 6 inch Python wasn't it.
