I love all of my children…don’t make me choose! The one that gets shot the most, other than the .22s, is my Garand. The handgun that gets the most attention is my Browning Hi-Power. Otherwise, what **GusNSpot** said. 😃 ---

[Barrett M82A1](http://www.barrettrifles.com/rifles/rifles_82A1.htm), [Kimber Custom TLE/RL II](http://www.kimberamerica.com/custom.php), with [.22LR quick conversion kit](http://www.kimberamerica.com/rimfire.php). Also a CZ85, and Berretta 92 , and for Standard/Sport pistol competition: [High Standard Supermatic Citation](http://www.highstandard.com/guns.html). And I’d like an Anschutz 1403 and an Achiever to call my very own (I shoot the 1403 from my Rifle Club in competition and trained on the Achiever for 18 months before being informed that it was far too short for me, still a fun gun to shoot, and will make my kids (if/when) a good training rifle). -DF ---

My favorite gun is a 1920’s-style death ray. If not that, then give me the M-16/M-203 over/under combination rifle and grenade launcher. ---

Bazooka-style rail gun. If not that, then a Dessert Eagle, with oversized, puffy handgrips. Make them out of marshmallow. (get it? dessert? Oh, I give up. I got nothing!) ---

I don’t own any, but I have long had my eye on: Beretta 92/96 in staineless steel. I can’t decide if I want it in 9mm or .40 S&W, but I have always liked the look of the Beretta, it fits my hand well and shoots pretty nice. The stainless just has a good look. Webley Mk I (I think). The standard british officer pistol from the 1800s. Break open action. Pretty cool gun. Seen “Zulu” one too many times. Colt Peacemaker (or other wild west type pistol). Keep thinking about joining a civil war reenactment troupe - so I want to be prepared. The range I go to has a nice S&W 686 for rent - with a 9" barrel. Very very easy to shoot - put a bunch of .38 through that. They also have a full auto MP5 - which I haven’t used (yet). ---

I wouldn’t mind having: - Glock .40 cal. Its what I’m used to shooting, and I’m pretty good with it. - Thompson sub-machinegun w/ drum clip. Classic, a man’s gun! - BAR. Another classic. - Mossberg 500. The ultimate home defense weapon. ---
