Favorite Guns

Here is a list of my personal favorite guns of all time:

Smith and Wesson M&P Compact:

I had been drooling over this gun for months and finally had to buy it. I got the compact because I plan on carrying it once i get my conceal carry license. I chose the .40 caliber because I can get a .357sig barrel from smith and wesson and drop it in and use the same magazines.. Instant .357sig pistol. Also, Stormlake makes a 40 – 9mm conversion barrel that drops in, and you can get the 9mm magazines and instant 9mm pistol. So for about $270 in mods, you can essentially have 3 pistols in 1. Also, I LOVE the look of this gun. It is a very good looking gun, especially in the compact. Couple that with all of the features and theres no denying that this is an awesome gun.

Springfield Armory XDm

I dont actually own one but it is on my list of next handgun to purchase. I do own a XD .45 service and I love the ergonomics of it. It is a very easy pistol to shoot, and its looks great. In my opinion, the XDm looks twice as good, and with the added features like the match grade barrel, better trigger and better grip its hard not to want one. I will most likely get the 5in “tactical” full size model seen in this picture.

 

Ruger Mini 14

Even though this rifle is out-dated and not that cool looking, I LOVE it. I don’t own one, but I borrow my friends all the time. Because it’s chambered in .223, you are able to shoot it in most indoor ranges. My friends, like the one pictured, does not have a flash suppressor so it makes a big boom and even bigger flash when shot. Every time we shoot it a range officer comes running over to make sure that we aren’t shooting a 7.62 Mini 30. It doesnt have all the features of say an AR-15, nor does it boast the accuracy and its hard to find optics that mount to it. All the negatives aside, it is a fun rifle to shoot.

 

Remington 870 Shotgun

I would be willing to bet that this shotgun (or the mossberg 500) is about 80% of every gun owners first gun. Super simple design, pump action for that cool rack sound, andliterally a ton of aftermarket for this shotgun make it one of the best buys you can get. I bought mine with black synthetic stock and a 28 in barrel. I have since gotten a ATi pistol grip, a knoxx special ops stock, a factory 2 shell mag extension, an 18 in barrel, an ATi “tactical” forend, and a factory “police” forend. Theres probably more that I will get. I just like the idea of having different configurations for it, but I have it set up for “home defense” right now. This shotgun is proven to be reliable and affordable making it a great gun to own.

 

Smith and Wesson Model 19 .357 Revolver

I really never was a revolver fan AT ALL until recently. I inherited a Smith and Wesson model 15 .38 special revolver that my uncle carried as his duty weapon while he was a police officer on the El Paso Police Dept. The Model 15 had a barrel on it that said .357 Mag so I was thinking that I had inherited a big bad revolver. Well, after some research I found out that it had been rebarreled with a model 19 barrel. Since I had the .357 itch now, I ended up buying a used nickel plated model 19. I LOVE IT. The trigger pull is smooth, in single action the trigger is LIGHT, it looks cool, I love everything about it. So it may be a bit exccessive but I own a Model 15 and a Model 19. Since the 15 was handed down to me, I want to keep it in its current condition and will not fire it anymore. Another reason for me to buy the Model 19. Plus i got a great price on it.
