KSGM, I'm swapping the top cover for another one that has a Picatinny rail. I quickly grabbed these three after reading the hate from so many people.

most shot: S&W .22LR revolver. Model 63
most sentimental: see above.

I'm not afraid to play...

I'll play again...

Manners, gentlemen.

We display our firearms here ever day.

Wariness and a healthy skepticism are advisable in most aspects of life, but if the feds want to inventory our collections, they have but to look at posts here; no need for them to register and ask.

If you don't wish to participate, then simply don't respond. There is nothing about the OP's post which concerns me.

This for me checks a lot of those boxes.

I like this 5" 5 screw S&W .357 a lot.



Here's a couple I picked up a little while back. S&W 5 screw 5" heavy duty .38sp in a display case along with a K22 w/sambar stag.

Most shot: it's a toss-up between a 40-year-old H&R .22 Sportsman revolver and an 80-year-old Winchester .22 Model 69 bolt action.

Right on top of the latest in technological break-throughs... I wish the Sportsman was a top-break.

Most old : S.S. GP100.
Most carried : XD 9mm
Most accurate: GP100
Most new : XD 45 ACP five inch

Most shot: *Tie Ruger P90 , .45 and GP100

Most missed : .357 lever action ( sold )
Most wanted : 1911 .45

In my case, they're all the same one.

Unfortunately this one has made it tough to post a picture.

1969 Colt detective special 3 inch barrel.

1967 S&W model 49 with original semi-high horn stocks. This would be #5 and #6
I've been carrying it off an on for 45 years.

Roger, for that, I apologize.

This nickel/stainless P229 checks a few boxes for me.

1. Most Interesting
2. Most Rare
3. Most Powerful cartridge
4. Most Difficult to Find
5. Most Concealable
6. Most Sentimental
7. Most Expensive

I've got a lot of pretty standard stuff, hunting stuff mostly. I have a mint condition 1965 Browning Auto 5 Light Twenty that is choked --$, which is Skeet. Every part of this gun has a serial number on it, all matching, including butt stock and fore end, which is unique from all other A5's I've owned (quite a few.) Sweet 16's have always been the most collectible A5's but good 20 gauges have become harder to find and more valuable. I'd put this one way on the high end of what a collector would want in a 20 gauge A5.
It's on the bottom here


The most expensive is an AyA side by side.

The most sentimental would be my Dad's Remington 1100 16 ga.
The best picture of it is this one, in his hands. He bought it in about 1970 and it is the first real gun I have recollection of shooting, when I was about 6. It kicked and hit me in the face and I cried but I hit the paper cup I was shooting at. I remember when I was in high school/early college and he let me borrow it to go rabbit hunting with some friends. Very proud moment for me.

Most shot: Glock 19 (not on your list, but it's kind of an important metric to me)
Most sentimental: Beretta 1934 (my dad's pistol that he bought when he was stationed in Germany)
Most expensive that I've bought: Laugo Alien
Most concealable: NAA Guardian .380, but it stings like hell when shooting.

How about Most Cheaply Built?

Like a Hi-Point, Lorcin, Jimenez, Bryco, Jennings, Raven Arms, etc.

I was given a Jennings .22 thirty years ago. I was able to immediately sell it for $50.

Nice! Great pic of your Dad.

I'm a big fan of the Browning Auto 5. I do have a Sweet 16.

I recently taught my nephew to shoot trap with my Browning Auto 5 20 gauge. It's a smaller gun which I actually bought for my wife back in 1989. Her first time shooting.

I do have a LEAST "gun" and knife however...

...but it is legal in all 57 states!
