What Type of Firearm Are You?

Over your years of enjoying firearms, what sticks out to you as the type of gun that is the most “you?” Not the logical “most versatile/practical,” but rather the one that just FEELS right, like a natural extension of yourself?
For me, it’s just a simple, no-frills pump shotgun.

I have always been a one shot straight shooter. This rifle is my reflection of me.
Wow….just a true beauty there, Brookwood. Love everything about it.
Nothing feels better in my hands than a 94 Winchester carbine or a 1897 Winchester pump shotgun. Same for the Winchester 1906 .22 and Remington Model 12 .22 slide actions.
Marlin Model 1889 lever action .38-40 made in 1892 with an octagon barrel. It's been in my family since it was new.
Super Black Hawk for pistol and a model 94 rifle, both in 44 Mag.
For me its prewar Colt Single Actions and Winchester Saddle Ring Carbines. This was one of my favorite Colt Single Actions; it is chambered in 45 Colt and Shipped to Walter Tips in Austin, Texas in 1896.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
Colt model 1911 45ACP
My left handed Rem. 870.
I guess a Rhom in 22 short.
Use to be a Winchester 9422 magnum.
That's like asking who is your favorite child. In my case that would be easy as I only have 1. But I have multiple guns, and I can't say anyone is my favorite. They all have their good points.

Cap gun. Big Bang with no casualty🙃
Why...................a Remington Mohawk 600 of course...........................if not that I will be an FN/FAL
Illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator because my theory is go big or go home.😁 Bob
Winchester/Browning 1885 single shot. Preferably a low wall.
Don't have one but sure wish I did,,,,, A old double barrel short coach shotgun.
when younger
now
well, I used to be a .50 cal sniper rifle but now sadly, I'm a single shot .22 short
With a bent barrel and a broken ejector!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Exactly ......................................... sigh ................
Is that from an A 10?
Vulcan M-61. Has seen widespread use in everything from F-105's to C-130's and all points in between.
It could be, but my preferred platform is the F/A-18.

Mossberg 152 22 LR that belonged to my father
Big bore Ruger single action and a Winchester large loop in .44
My 1960 vintage Mountie. Bought it when I was 11; controlled Jack Rabbit population in my part of Carson County, Texas until new wife moved me to Kentucky.
I might be like the rubber band gun but my rubber band is dry rotted.😲
