Default Your Weapon of choice?

Anyone in here a avid shooter or gun collector/owner? If so what's everyone's weapon of choice?

Myself, I choose to carry a HK USP .45 for the knock down power and accuracy

Around the house I've got my Remington Tactical 12g.

Shi* hits the fan weapon would be either my Mac 90 sporter AK-47 or the Rock River AR-15

mine is a Springfield Xd 357

the 357sig has become my fave round
I stumbled across it about 6-7 years ago (or so)
when I picked up a sig-pro with both the .40sw and 357sig bbl's

I soon learned how much I love the high velocity and "snap" that comes with the 357



I also carry a 2" titanium (ported) .357mag
she's dubbed "the Noisy Cricket"

Nice choice of AR..

I sometimes carry my Ruger SP101 3'' .357 badass carry gun. So you have a titanium huh?? Hows the recoil on that

Up at Keith's Sporting Goods I always scan the used handgun case and see a ton of the titanium snubs for sale. Almost bought one before my SP101 but Keith told me I would prob bring it back for something else because of the recoil. Still would like to shoot one though!

I just picked up a Springfield XD 9mm. Not a bad deal for what all comes with them. I like the different safety options they have on them too vs the Glocks

Just picked up a Bushmaster AR, that's the doo doo everywhere tool. backup is a 12 gauge.

looking at building more AR's, BO plans on permanently reinstating the Clinton gun ban, prices will go up up up.

I stocked up on tons of 30 rounds mags for both of my assult rifles along with a bunch of Hi cap clips for my Ruger .22LR. I'm looking for another AK to pick up. Can't believe how much they are going for now.

Love my XD 40! My .45 is around for pure stopping power and the 60s era 38 police special is hiding in just the right spot. The cameras are on Hard drive and can be destroied when needed

Did someone say guns? I MIGHT have a couple of those things. here is a VERY small sampling of a couple of my toys.





My carry piece is my H&K USP .45 tactical and somtimes my Springield 1911x. My personal fav. of the collection is my Saiga 12. When everything in a room needs to be destroyed, right now, Saiga 12.....accept no substitutes. with the election looking he way it is, I am headed out to pick up another one or two items today.

I like long range target shooting and trap shooting. I have a Savage 12 .22-250 and a Mossberg 930 for those things. I think I'm going to pick up a Glock 9mm compact very soon before prices go up, as I don't own any handguns. I was pretty dead set on a .45 but Glock doesn't make one in compact, and I like shooting the glocks better than the XD. Plus I can hit something a lot more consistantly with 9mm. Probably need to get a few high cap mags for my 10/22 as well!

I have found the M4 is pretty effective on bad people. The three round burst is also pretty fun.

I plan on picking up a para-ord hi-cap LDA .45ACP in the near future. shot one at wade's a while ago and the para-ord warthog and was amazed at how accurate smooth and little jamming they had with how poorly wades cleans their guns (if they even do). Was thinkin about the HK but after shooting both I'm goin with the para-ord for a little more.
