It's the new guy here and I did a quick search and couldn't find a related thread (surprisingly).

So, let's see those favorite gems in your collections. Rimfire, Centerfire, rifles, pistols, handguns, shotguns, etc. I hope this isn't too broad of a subject and is allowed here. I'm a bit partial to the fancy ones... Nicely figured dead wood (as my son refers to them), engraved, inlaid, etc.

My little Colt to start it off...

I have loved this from the day I first laid eyes on it!! Purchased it under the guise that it was going to be the wife's! Every now and then she says, "Let's take the little Colt out". I immediately change the subject and she hasn't caught on..., yet!





I picked up the new shoes for it awhile back, a set of matched, polished and Stabilized Giraffe Bone Grips (from a great guy off of eBay).

I keep meaning to get a Colt factory letter on this, but I am not sure it is factory engraved and inlaid. The quality is definitely there plus the original box, serialized to the gun and the original grips, paperwork, etc. Everything is like new, as well!

(If not appropriate, would a moderator, kindly move?)

Thanx All!

That's like asking me to post pictures of my favorite grandchild, except I have a lot more guns than grandchildren.

Oh, nay-nay @patchz! I purposely made it plural, "Favorites"!

I plan to post up more...

You missed the point. There are too many favorites to choose.

The favorite of your favorites? Now you're just being obtuse... post all of your favorites, I'd love to see 'em!

@onlymaroonmatters... how's the ammo situation with those?

'bout 0.18/round.

Helluva lot better than 22s that's for dang sure. And don't even have to wait to get them behind a locked cabinet like BBs or pellets 🤦‍♂️

I can't show anything even if I wanted to... lost 'em all... each and everyone of 'em when that sudden marine squall hit during our MSGO Regatta on the Rez.

I was lucky to have survived with my life...

Other good MSGO members also suffered the same appalling misfortune on that harrowing day...

 

[Quigley]

Sorry, and being a newb from waaaay out of state, I'm not familiar with whatever it is that you guys speak of, this MSGO Regatta.

To keep this going,, how about another picture of one of my other favorites...?





We can't forget the long guns! Especially the Purdy ones!

Firearms scare me. I'm just here for the recipes.

I don’t buy or build pretty guns. It ain’t my bag. Every gun I own are very utilitarian but for two pretty/sentimental guns: a Remington model six (prettied up 7600 made in 81, 82, 83) my grandfather gave me about 12 years ago when he decided he had no use for it and wanted me to have it and a CJ Higgins 88 that was my great grandfathers that my mom gave me after my grandmother passed.

This is the minimum standard of care if it damp out and I’m hunting with the model six.

And the 88 after polishing a couple decades of tarnish away.

 

[Gulfport Joe]

@bangswitch WOW, just WOW. That Higgins 88 is a thing of beauty. No wonder you don't buy or build pretty guns because none would compare to that one. That is a real gem and truly a family heirloom. Thanks for sharing it.
