OT- What kind of firearms do you have, and why did you choose them?

Title says it all. What kind of guns do you have? What do you like about the particular model(s) that you have? What do you use them for?

I only have 2 guns. I use them exclusively for target shooting and home defense (hopefully won't have to). I'm not a "gun enthusiast" per se, but I believe in exercising my 2nd Amendment rights. Plus shooting is fun.

-Mosin-Nagant 91/30- Hard to beat this old bolt-action rifle for the price. This was the main rifle used by the Russian military for many years, including WW2. 5 shot built-in magazine, 7.62x54R ammo. Loud and crude, but fairly accurate and very reliable.

-Smith and Wesson SD40 VE- .40 caliber, semi-auto pistol. 14+1 round magazine. More or less a Glock knock-off, but from a good brand. A big upgrade from S&W's prior generation of budget pistols. This is my home and personal defense firearm. I like it because it's cheap, fairly simple, shoots a respectable round, and holds a lot of bullets in the standard magazine.

None for fighting, one for fun.

I have a custom AR-15 rifle, a Glock 21 Gen4 .45 ACP, a .38 Colt Detective Special with custom grips, and my duty weapon is a Glock 17 Gen4 in 9mm.

My AR-15 is my target rifle and zombie apocalypse weapon. I've got a custom 16 inch barrel with a foregrip and picatinny rail system, an ACOG reflex sight, pistol grip, and an A2 stock with extender.

My Glock 21 is my target shooting pistol/home defense weapon.

My .38 is my back-up and what I carry when I go running or out somewhere.

And my Glock 17 is self-explanatory.

Of your handguns, do you have a favorite? I was thinking about you when I went to the gun show this weekend. I know you're a police officer in NY, but it seems that you'd have a lot more fun down here in TX. :P

I thought you might say that. Will have to see if they have one at my local range that I can try out.

I may have to pick up a Judge. Those are just too cool.

None at the moment. In the next few years (cash allowing) I'm hoping to pick up a bolt action rifle (maybe a.30-06), a pump action shotgun, and a revolver of some sorts. Maybe a .22 rifle or 9mm handgun for cheap shooting, too.

i have a S&W .45 that i use for ccw.. romanian AK47, M1 Garand, Mauser 98k, Bushmaster AR15

Nice selection

Springfield XD 9mm. More to come. GoldenElementXL

my bro has an XD .40.. very nice weapons

I don't have any, but between my roommates there are five or six guns in the house. They're safe with them, so I don't mind.

I have a Savage mark 2 bolt action. I picked it because it is one of the best bang for the buck .22 rifles you can get. I was planning on getting my pistol licence but NY ended up banning most of the pistols I wanted to get, so f*ck it.

I ordered a Savage Mark II F .22lr on Tuesday. I'm waiting on Budsgunshop to mail it to my FFL. It sounds like an awesome little rifle.

As of now, in the order I bought them. I have a Ruger SR40c, Taurus 738 TCP, DPMS AR15, CZ-75 in 9mm, HK USP in .45, 91/30 Mosin Nagant, Norinco SKS, Enfield 1917, Makarov IJ70, & a Smith & Wesson 686. The Savage Mark II should be here within the next couple weeks. I waited far too long to get a .22, a .22 should be the first thing a new gun owner buys.

They are nice little rifles. The synthetic stock on them sucks balls though, I plan on replacing mine with a boyd's pepper laminate stock in the near future.

I have 3 handguns and two long guns. I used to conceal carry with my snub nose 38 special, it's a smith and wesson very good gun to learn how to shoot with and I have got it upgraded a bit where it releases heat/pressure from the top of the barrel that causes it the gun to go back down upon firing.

My favorite though is the PZ Compact, it's a very reliable handgun that can fire virtually all types of pistol ammo. I also own a Glock but I hate using it, the handle is just a giant rectangle and I don't see how anyone can feel comfortable carrying concealed with it.

For home defense I keep my Mossberg Shotgun locked and loaded. Anyone that breaks into my house there is going to be nothing left of them but their shoes.

I got one. It's awesome. I used to carry it on me, back home in Alaska. It'd be loaded with these special 410 gauge shot shells, made for personal defence, that fire 3 little cylindrical plates, which spin around like tiny sawblades, tearing open a wound, which is then peppered with a half size load of standard buckshot. And in my pocket, two speedloaders with .45 colt hollowpoints.

Also have a romanian made AK-47. Used to shoot skeet with it, back home. Like a boss.:cool:

None. It is illegal here.

But I do know how to handle a Glock.

I had to do it for work.

Glock 21 and an ArsenalSLR 95 (Bulgarian made AK)

Both are very fun to shoot.

None, illegal and hard to get here sadly. Would be a lot safer in several parts of big cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam with concealed carry. MrPraline

Since I live in NYC, I don't own a firearm. But when I viisit my folks in AZ at least once a year, we go to the range and I always get at least a Walther PPQ chambered in 9mm and a SOCOM 16, which is pretty fun to shoot.

EDIT: Sorry, you also asked why:

The PPQ's trigger is great and in my hands, it's a naturally pointing gun. At this point, I can make a nice, ragged hole with on mag at 25 yds.

The SOCOM 16 is the only 762x51 I've ever handled so it's nice little thumper compared to a typical AR. And there's something nostalgic about firing a descendent of the M1 Garand.

Marshmallow gun.

I take it everywhere I go.

Why the hell would I own one?

I don't have any.

My legs, fists, muscles, knives, security systems and location make guns useless for home defense. In addition, I am not a fan of hunting or guns in general (though I do have a thing for WWI/WWII era LMGs, such as the Bren, and GPMGs from the same era, such as the MG 42). I myself would prefer a crossbow, a bow (such as a recurve) for recreational purposes, as there is less hassle involved.

I don't actually own any, but at some point my dad said he'd pass down one of the rifles to me. We have an AR-15 chambered in .300 blackout, a .270 and a .30-06 rifle (don't know what model either of them are), a .357 revolver, and I remember seeing a handgun at some point that looked like an FN five-seven.

I have a BAE 120mm L30. I like it for its portability and destructive capabilities.

Don't have one. Video games are more fun than shooting ranges anyway.

None for fighting, one for fun.
