What's your favorite gun to shoot?

[Hardwood83]

I was thinking about this after shooting Sunday afternoon. I ran a few mags through a 9mm AR carbine I put together at Christmas time. What a hoot that thing is. Then I burned off a few mags through a PAP 92 AK SBR- makes me feel like I'm in Spetznaz (although it can wear on my jaw after a while due to the triangle stock.) Finally I sighted in a new scope on my Kel-tec RFB. Can you choose a favorite, or is that bad taste like preferring one of your kids?

I know I'm a rifle guy. I like shotguns and shoot pistols because I think I should, but I prefer rifles.....just not sure which one I like the most. Lots of contenders.

How about you?

You should completely shoot that 9mm carbine in Pistol-Caliber Carbine division (either Open or Irons) at the upcoming Great Plains Steel Challenge Championship. 

I just got a 9mm carbine recently also, and that thing is seriously fun to shoot.  Primary Arms red dot, and a $30 muzzle brake on the end, and it is ridiculously easy to hit steel.  Too much fun!  Mine would be in Open division, obviously.  If you don't have a muzzle break or comp, and just iron sights, Irons division would work for you...ahem.  https://easternnebraskapracticalshooters.com/2016-great-plains-steel-challenge-championship/

As for favorite gun to shoot---that's really hard to say.

I will say that I ALWAYS have fun when I'm shooting my Mark II Ruger 22/45 pistol.  (4" bull barrel, fiber optic front sight, Volquartsen hammer/sear combo in it.) 

But....I love shooting my G34 or G17 in USPSA or IDPA, I like shooting my new 10/22 Takedown (which I've modified A LOT), I enjoy my .223 and .308 ARs....

....it is really hard to pick just one!

I suppose that is a good thing, really.

My competitive days are past but I still enjoy a good day with friends and pistols. My favorite is a Sig P239 followed by a Kahr 380. I have a couple of friends who enjoy 1000 yards with a rifle, mine is a 243 AI built by a guy in Chadron. It still makes me smile when I hear the steel ring at 1000.

I would be a little scared of a super shorty and I am decidedly pro-gun! I would think it would be a handful.

You make a good point though, I love me some suppressed shooting. My Tavor and a .300Blk in particular.
SBR's are very handy too.

Also, have a Henry .22 Lever action that is a pure joy to fire and a terror to chipmunks. Not sure if it's the favorite, but any red-blooded American has to like popping off a few rounds with that. 

Thanks for the info jthhapkido. I doubt I'll make it this year, but sounds very cool.

Mounted in that slide out door gunner slot you have installed in your Minivan.

the Super Shorty is fun.  magnums are crazy loud and lots of muzzle blast.  as long as you have a good grip and good wrists, you should be ok.

i don't own a minivan or minigun.  wish i had a minigun.  the only transferable one is like $300K.

Well somebody might as well be boring so I'll go ahead and fill that slot: I probably enjoy shooting my 9mm Glock as much as any other gun.

I did have a Ruger .44 Redhawk years ago that I had a lot of fun shooting.
 
My least favorite is a toss-up between any rifle that has to be sighted in and a Ruger LCP that stings my hand every time I pull the trigger.

Funny... I love sighting in rifles and my LCP is about my favorite to shoot.  It's fun to put a tin can out about seven yards then trying to chase it with the next shot when you hit it and it jumps out farther.

Not your Mossberg

[DenmanShooter]

I really like my Heritage Rough Rider .22 SAA paired with my Henry .22 if I had to pick a favorite just for the fun of it.

But anything that goes BANG! is good for me.

one of my 1911.s, I think I have over 80 pounds of them!

[greg58]

I like shooting my MK II 22/45 Target model.
I use it in Steel Challenge matches when I can, and shoot steel at home with it also.
I also enjoy my Henry 22 rifle for keeping the rabbit population at bay.

You know, I had fun shooting that once.

Once.

Man, I know some people love shooting shotguns, but.....not me. 

(Regarding favorite gun:  It is certainly true that what I shoot most are my G34 and G17s, and I love shooting and getting better with them.  USPSA is just so much FUN!)

I'll get ahold of you next time I want to sight in a rifle.
