Id say that I've about got my little collection down to things I aim to keep...so I'd have a hard time figuring what's tops in it. That Ruger Police Service Six.357 I traded for my 4" Model 57 back the other day was the only thing I wasn't attached to. I'm just going to buy what I want that's reasonable, from here on out, and try not to let go of anything else.
My Lee Enfield No.1 MK.III 22 trainer made in 1914 my dad bought me in 1965. My Dad's Colt 1911 made in 1916 and a flat latch S&W 36 Chief also my dad's. My 1873 lever action Uberti. My Uberti 1860 Army conversion in 44 Colt and the 1872 open top in 45 colt are my for ever guns
H&R 676 buntline 22 has dispatched thousands of critters on my trap line. 54 cva hawker has won me more trophies than I can count. 54 Lyman deerstalker is the best deer gun ever. Mossberg bolt action 410. It was my first gun, and trust me, I know how to use it.👍
I’ve got an old TC New Englander .50 that Bob Hoyt bored out to .54 with a round radius slow twist rifling. It’s going the distance, cloverleafs with the proper load.👍
@@sicsempertyrannis4104 Yep I had two Bobby Hoyt barrels on my 1841 Mississippi and my 1861 Springfield. Sold them both after I'd been off work for a year after a vehicle accident.
I was just thinking about this since ive sold a few recently that i liked but just weren't tickling my fancy. Here's a few that i absolutely will not part with. 1972 ruger blackhawk. 45c 4 5/8 barrel. 50th anniversary model ruger single six .22lr/.22mag 4 5/8 barrel. My parents gave it to me for Christmas when i was 20. Chinese sks made in 1972. It always runs smooth and i can hit bolling pins at 300yrds. Had it since i was a kid. Stoger uplander 12g sxs. 1953 Ithaca featherlight 12g 29 in barrel. Theres a couple others but those are the real special ones.
.41 Colt SAA cira 1903. Was my dad's gun. It takes SPP, black powder and nice 200 gr flat nosed bullet. All my handguns take SPP so I don't want to have to stock pile LPP as well.
I have always enjoyed your vids and will click on em just cause your handle is on em. Don't always agree 100% with you on every detail. At this point and age I have trimmed my collection of shooters down to around a dozen that I would never get rid of... sometimes it is they are so accurate and fun.. sometimes cause they historical.. sometimes like my 1969 Python it is cool factor and beauty and accuracy... sometimes it is just something I can carry no matter what and is better than others in the class like my Beretta 980 in 25 acp (yeah I know) and also my 340 PD in .357 which is the most concealable and powerful and accurate and... the worst recoiling handgun I own but not a factor. Lately I have built from a kit a Hawkins 50 and it is amazing. I also have 4 black powder Colt clone revolvers 31...36 and 44 I hand polished em and nickel plated em at home (easy to do but somewhat steep learning process) Lever guns.... well... My Henry color case in .357 is gorgeous and accurate.. My old 50+ years old? 1873 Navy arms Winchester clone with 30" barrel and pistol grip in 44-40 Shotguns? I am the worlds worst shotgun shooter...can't hit anything with em but I have several that I like.. my 97 riot gun made in 1920? and my Browning/Remington hump back 12
A Henry .357Mag Big Boy steel carbine with the large lever loop. I simply can't miss at 100 yards or less with that gun. The gun has plenty of faults. But accuracy is not one of the them. Either that or my Pedersoli Indian Trade Musket. Simply can't miss.
