My favorite Gun ?? Ha ! That's easy.......anyone of mine that says Ruger on it. I love my Model 77 in 6mm, now thats a straight shooter. My Red Label O/U is my most favored shotgun.To tell the truth though, I love all of my guns, I just love my Ruger's a little bit more.
TBlade..... I love the Mark V, IMHO, one of the best, most reliable semi-auto 22's made.
Dave, I really do have athing for Ruger's. As you see, the majority of my firearms are Ruger.
I really don't want to tell my wife this, but, The other day I was at an old friends house, who happens to be in need of cash and he offered to sell me an old (circa 1958) Ruger Blackhawk .44mag. Ruger only made this single action from 58 to 62. Unlike the Super Blackhawk and New Model Super Blackhawk, this .44 has a fluted cylinder. This gun has a history of ownership, this person bought the gun around the the early 70's, sold it to me in the late 70's, and for reasons I can't remember, I ended up selling it back to him in the 90's. This is a sweet shooting pistol. The trigger is just right, it has a 6" barrel and for some reason its recoil is minimal for a gun this caliber, and with that barrel length.
I'm certainly going to buy it back, but as my wife manages the household finances, she'll be pissed, but what the hell, it won't be the first time that happended

. Maybe I'll just get her more pissed about something else

, to lessen the severity of her being pissed about buying the handgun.
I've also owned in the past a Super Blackhawk and New Model Super Blackhawk, both with a 7 1/2" tube. Neither of those were as sweet as this particular handgun.
