Beretta 92, and I have never even shot one, figure that out!

Ditto.

It's what got me into guns.


Not minority enough!

Used to be a P226 10 years ago, but now the 1911.

Pistol? The 1911 of course. This is an interesting thread. I would be curious to see a break-down of the respondents by age. If you would ask the membership who they consider the top Hollywood sex symbol or all time, I'm sure many would reply Marilyn Monroe though I suspect as a group our younger members would have a different image.

First image is a very old blue LW Commander with wraparound Pachmayr no-medallion grips. Frame finally gave up the ghost after > 20k rounds and about 23 years of outstanding service.

The Luger.
Watching Combat as a little boy, I see the Luger most often. I always thought, "Wow! What a pistol." Even now, its image is just incredibly distinctive.

Maybe a Colt 1903/1908. I don't know why. Maybe because it looks like the kind of gun a kid would draw.

A 1911 and I think it's because as a kid we grew up watching Johnny Quest and Race Bannon's go to gun was always a 1911 .45.

Colt 1911 probably because it was the first hand gun I ever had, and I still have it today.

Probably a model 1911. Or maybe a Beretta 92FS. Perhaps a SIG P229.
