Hmm, for me it’s;

Pocket carry: Kel-Tec P3AT

Belt carry: Heckler & Koch, P7M8

Fun: Heckler & Koch, P7M13, & Beretta Model 87 Cheetah.22 LR

Looking like a range king: Heckler & Koch, Mark 23 SOCOM


Well, I think I might have a thing for H&K.

I have two favorite guns- one is consistent, the other is a little more... shall we say- dynamic.

1) My 5" Springfield Mil-Spec Stainless 1911. It was my first handgun, and I know better than to ever think of parting with it. I can shoot it well, and sometimes I feel as though I don't even need the sights- for me it points with the sights perfectly aligned. I love it. Shot a woodchuck offhand at 20 yards with it- pretty proud of that one.

2) My other favorite gun is whatever piece I'm drooling over lately. For a while it was a Colt Delta Elite 10mm, then an XD40, then a S&W 629 (BTW- there's a nice pre-lock 629 out at Joe's) then a Winny model 94 Timber Carbine. Last night, it was a used GP100 at Gander Mountain.

One that has never been my favorite was my Kel-Tec P11. It's a good gun, and as long as I keep the silvertips away from it- it has never choked. It goes with me a fair amount of the time, but just isn't a favorite of mine.

Kimber Pro CDP Ed Brown bob tailed grip frame and Alumagrip thin grips in a Alessi CQC. Also Springfield XD40 I might just carry if Lou gets my CQC built for it.

Ooo. At some point, if you and I happened to be in the same place at the same time, I, err, wouldn't be terribly insulted if I got a chance to handle the bobtail.

S & W model 66 w/3.2" barrel, factory Hi-Viz fiber optic sights, Hogue coco-bolo finger groove grips, Don Hume IWB holster.

Although, I do use my '70 series Gold Cup for combat league at the local gun club. I had a minor tune-up and Hi-Viz front sight installed by George at Ahlman's. Now it performs flawlessly.

The revolver simply goes bang every time I pull the trigger.

Carry weapon: Bersa .380

I'm going to try and find an acceptable 9mm and swap it for the Bersa.

Down at the range: H&K USP .40

This is a beautiful weapon and I've got about a 40% hit ratio when shooting stationary clay pigeons with it at 120 yards. That said; I've got one that might challenge its supremacy, and that's my IMI/Magnum Research .45 Baby Eagle. I've not fired it yet, but it just plain feels good in my hand.

Riflewise, I'm torn - I love the AK and the 10-22. For power, I'd say my 7mm - but it's not a gun you want to run 300 rounds through in a day.

Glock 26 seems to be one of my favorites.
Compact. Accurate. Holds lots of ammo. (Even if they are only 9mm) And extremely reliable.

Kimber Compact CDP. I went from carrying an all-steel government model to the Kimber and it was like unclipping an anvil from my belt.

Carry gun in warm weather under a tee shirt my favorite would be my 380 Colt Mustang + 2. Cold weather with heavier clothing, my favorite is a CZ2075 Rami in 40cal. or Smith 642 with factory Crimson trace laser grips. Favorite gun at Bill's gun range-- got to be the Desert Eagle in 50 cal. with on duty2 laser. Mowing the lawn or walking the dog, I'll drop the NAA magnum mini into my pocket. Like another poster stated my favorite is the one that is with me at the moment. 8)
