Mk 25 .

My most fun is with my Ruger MKIII Hunter. There's just something relaxing about shooting it. It really helped my shooting with larger caliber pistols too.

Lately I've heard some people at the range comment on how it's "only a 22" or "anyone can shoot like that with a 22", probably because I switched from ear plugs to electronic muffs and just couldn't hear them before. So, it doesn't get much range time anymore in favor of my P226, which is also fun to shoot.

^ hey man, don't let the unsolicited opinion of idiots keep you from shooting that Mk III. One, they're wrong. Two, you are developing useful skills with that gun that do translate to other platforms, not to mention the Mk series are excellent guns and great fun to shoot. Who cares what the peanut gallery thinks! I'd also be tempted to offer to let those commenters shoot the gun and see if they can put their money where their mouth is...more than likely they can't.

My Ruger MkII and 10/22 are probably my favorite to shoot!
I refer to them as my $20 gun. I can shoot all day long for about $20. Try that with any other caliber. I was at my friends farm the other day doing some shooting with friends, brought out 4 handguns (one was the MkII), AR, 10/22 and the shotgun.
Between my son and I, the ones we put the most amount of rounds through were the .22's. Paper, steel, cans... Everything except for the Tannerite.

After the .22 is probably one of my .45's
Either one of the 1911's or the G-21.

I have several faves. A LTT Elite fullsize w/ a Trijicon SRO, my USP Expert 9mm, and laugh as much as you want for my favorite currently owned striker fire… a Beretta fullsize APX. Such a nice trigger for a striker fire, great ergonomics, and accurate.

These are range guns that I shoot on Saturdays with friends. Fun differs from pracice.

Sig P226 X-5 is pretty fun. A real joy to shoot. Taurus Tx22 is pretty fun for a 22 . It’s reliability is unbelievable for a 22.

S&W model 17, beautiful trigger and very accurate.

+1 on the P225 . I have older W German models and a newer 225-A1. Love the single stack 9s

My g34 is probably my favorite to shoot. Just picked up a CZ pcr and have a feeling it's going to a lot of fun.

Both handguns shown are my current indoor range favorites. The SBR + can is more fun outdoors.

The S&W 17 was my second choice after the S&W 41.

As someone else said my MPX technically. But coming in as a true pistol I'd say my Walther PPQ with the can on it. Can bang steel gongs with ease at surpassingly comfortable range.

I enjoy my P226 and P229 the best of all my pistols. I have been shooting the P series since 1987 and it just feels totally natural to me. SRTs in both and Gray Guns fat struts. Really great shooting pistols.

I do also enjoy shooting 357 mag revolvers, but ammo has gotten so scarce I rarely shoot them now.

The 3 I almost always take are the 70 Series Gold Cup in .45, the Sig 229/228 9mm and the Ruger MKII.

I'd have to say my Les Baer TRS. It's my favorite 1911 and on Memorial Day my grandson asked if we could go to the range for an early birthday celebration. He would be working on my birthday and wanted to spend some time with me and his GMa. I decided it would be a 1911 day and brought my TRS, Wilson Combat CQB and STI Target Master 45. After shooting all 3, he said that the TRS was his favorite. Good to have confirmation.

SIG P229 Sport - .357 SIG. Hefty, great trigger, perfect flash and "exhaust note" with the compensator.

Right now it's my LTT Elite Centurion

My LTT PX4 Compact Carry RDO. The recoil of 9mm is already relatively low but the PX4 tames it even more.

8" Sig MPX
