With all of my son's guns and mine, lots of stuff being shifted around. Looking thru my colection of pistols, I thought I'd leave 3 out for something to shoot. The 3 I picked as favorites were: Smith & Wesson Model 39 9mm single/double action waltun gribs, aluminum frame. Ruger Single action 357 4 5/8s barrel. Smith & Wesson model 17 K-22, double action 22 LR on a 38 weight frame. Interesting, I bought all these new over 50 years ago. good things don't change. What are your three favorites.

Bear, I too have a K-17 as well as a Ruger Blackhawk, but in 45 Colt/ACP. My third is a 1911 that I built for the first time 35 years ago. It's been through a couple of variations since, but the frame and guts are still the same. 788 ------------- "We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star.

STI 1911 Nitro 10 Beretta 92F Rossi 971 comp 4" .357 The big DE is a hoot to shoot for sure but I no longer shoot it well and it's heavy and bulky. My boy still loves it though and it's at the top of his list. ------------- ...oh yeah! thats gonna hurt! |

My favorite to shoot is my K-22 model 17 S&W. It makes me look like a better shooter than I really am. Next I would have to pick my 1911. Its just a classic. My third pick would be my model 19 S&W. It's a K frame .357 with a 4 inch barrel. In my opinion it's as close to the perfect revolver as was ever made.

Your question was "favorite 3 handguns". I"d think a CCW gun while carried most will not necessarily be anyone's favorite gun. I don't think your picks are your daily carry pieces. ------------- Irish Bird Dog NRA Life/Endowment 2nd Amendment Supporter |

I was referring to bear's comment. My carry gun(s) are not my favorite handguns. I remember your CZ 75 or maybe it was Jim's we saw one time. ------------- Irish Bird Dog NRA Life/Endowment 2nd Amendment Supporter |
