If you were asked to pick your top gun, the one that you cherish more than any other, what would that choice be?
What gun would that be?

I guess I don't really have a 'favorite' gun since none of them came to me from family or friends. I was given a 9mm Nazi Radom by my cousin. He passed away a few days later. I took it home, shot a few rounds through it, and gave it to my cousin's son. My Dad brought it home from WWII but gave it to his brother. I had never seen it and had no one to pass it on to, so back it went to that branch of the family.

I don't shoot it a lot any more, but probably my 1969 Ruger Blackhawk .357.

For me, it would likely be either one of my Colt Police Positive Specials or my S&W 681.
For me, I would have to say a 1928 Springfield M1903 rifle. He got it in the early 70's and it
had already been converted to a deer rifle. It had a Fajen Monte Carlo stock and the barrel
had been shortened for the Lyman front sight and a Lyman rear peep sight was installed too.
I loved that old 30-06 and asked my Dad an untold number of times if we could restore it. All
he would say is "someday". He loaned it to an uncle in the early 80's and before my uncle could
use it, he passed away. Long story short, his son (my cousin) thought it was his dads so he kept it.
My dad didn't want to asked for it back and he always regretted it. When my Dad passed away 2 years
ago, my cousins widow and I were talking after my dads funeral, and I told her about my Dads rifle. When my cousin passed, 6 years ago, one of his boys got it. She talked to both of them by phone and the younger one had it.
By the next week, I had my Dads rifle back. It was in the same gun case with MY DADS INITIALS on the case.
I was glad to get it back, but at the same time pissed off because they had to have known it wasn't their dad
or their grandpas rifle.
