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.

And all this time I was thinking it was that 5.56 Minigun.
Mounted in that slide out door gunner slot you have installed in your Minivan. :o :P :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

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 :o

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!

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.

While I enjoy shooting pistols and rifles lately I have really been enjoying shooting lever guns, looking for the right deal on one in .357... but then again I really do love my shotguns, in fact hoping to add another to the collection this next week... if the boss lets me have part of my paycheck.
