What Are Your “Dream Guns?” Pick Any Three And Tell Us About Them [More]
I have none. I’ve made no secret about that (see #5 from 2006). I’m in it for the rights .
That doesn’t mean I haven’t had fun, and if I had to name with what, I’d probably say a Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk, an M1 Garand and a MAK 90.
I have tried to attain a level of proficiency in what I do own (not that I’m publicly admitting to having any) for my own safety and the safety of those around me, but the hardware has never been what animated me. I’m in it for the principle.
That’s why you’ll never see me presuming to do a “gun review.” Like the saying goes, “A man’s gotta know his limitations,” and I’m not only not qualified, all those who know more than me, which is a lot of gun owners, would quickly and correctly label me a fraud if I tried.
I’ve actually turned down businesses who wanted me to test machineguns and write about them, and people who wanted to send me ammo to test and write about. That’s just not who I am nor why I do this.
I try not to play favorites with my kids or my guns.
But I have noticed on range trips the first one out of the box is my Erfurt made P08. I have a weakness for old guns and at over 100 years and counting its the oldest I own.
