Mine is a Sig P-226, KA, bought in 1990 whenI went to work as a Deputy since weapons were not bought by the department. Worn finish and sent to Sig for a SSP twice. Excellent trigger and is next to me on the sofa as I type this.

Do you have that one gun? That old friend if you will.

I have to give the nod to my '68 Python. My Dad let me shoot it when I was 7yrs old(helping me of course), was the first gun I EVER shot! I prefer my 9mms, but that gun is nothing but good memories and comfort! It doesn't hurt the gun shoots like a laser beam!

That would be my P228 2-tone. It stays in the case by the "go bag" with a few extra mags... but occasionally it has to go to the range with me, and I fall in love all over again.

I had the same gun. Loved it. It showed up missing one day. I miss it.

Marlin 336C in .35 Remington. No scope. Bought it ages ago one Christmas when home on leave from the Navy.

My old friend.

Henry, I adjusted the photo and took the magenta and red out of the photo. It looks a lot better. I can send it to you if you want to re post it.

Beretta 92FS, bought in the mid-90s. It was my first gun purchase. Used it for several training classes. Despite being too big for my hands I frequently did my best shooting with it. Probably the most reliable gun I've ever owned, including Glock and S&W revolvers. The 92 and a S&W Model 10 are the only guns I've owned that have never malfunctioned.

It's currently serving HD duty, loaded with 147gr HST.

I have a Remington 870 Special Purpose in 12 gauge from the mid 1980's that I inherited from my dad. It is indeed an old friend.

Nope,. I should, but I don't.

S&W 65-5 3"

I hate to say this... but a Glock 34. I've just spent so much time training and shooting it, it feels at home in my hand.

Old model 700, made when Remington made guns instead of business deals. It's a 308. I've been wanting a Tikka 7-08 but every time I shoot the 700 I decide not to. The trigger and me just get along. I surprise myself when I really concentrate how accurate I am with that rifle.

I have 2 of them.

My P-226 that I came on the job with. Now, I shoot it every couple of years. But accurate as hell! I put it in my hand, and after the 2nd or 3rd round to get re-acquainted, it is kinda like a "Hey buddy, how you doing" moment.

Now, I can shoot 1911's reasonably well. I know the grip angle, the trigger... I've think I've put enough rounds down range in one of them to be able to hit something near the bullseye.But I have a 1911 that an old friend of mine (who actually REALLY knew what he was doing) put together. Nothing crazy special... But THAT ONE? The second it's in my hand, my mind says "Yep." and it just goes where I want it to.

My Browning Hi Power, bought in 1990. Still my favorite carry gun. When I take it out shooting, it never lets me down.

P226 Combat, my first pistol. I have "nicer" more accurate pistols now, but you never forget your first lol. A lot of rounds through this gun, and I still use it for IDPA; 10M target, nothing special there - but she still shoots straight.

a 38 SW police issue my grandfather gave me. I've shot it liek five times, but its still a great gun

S&W model 17 that belonged to my uncle. I have had it since the late seventies.

My trusty old P226.

Les Baer TRS in hard chrome. I've had it 15 years and every time I pick it up I smile. It just fits and I have complete confidence in it.

My P229R in 357 SIG. I've battled with rheumatoid arthritis for several years and it is so much more natural/painless for me to shoot than my issued P220 .45 ACP. I am about to do the unheard of, and request permission to carry it as my duty weapon. Our policy allows us to do so, but I am unaware of anyone doing so in the last 12 or so years. I intend to. It is like night and day for me.
