Hello MoFo’s! Time again for another list from your ol’ pal Gunslinger! As many of you know I am a pretty passionate guy. Many have noted this about my film reviews and my top 50 favorite films. Top it off; I have waxed a bit about my experience with video games and anime. So naturally, I think it is time I posted a list about my other passion: firearms. Between it being my other favorite hobby tied with the cinema and my on the job training, there is a reason my net handle is The Gunslinger. So why not? Let’s discuss my top 12 favorite firearms!
I want to establish one rule though. In order to be eligible for this list, I need to have ACTUALLY SHOT the firearm. Now there are several guns out there I like and admire, but for various reasons I have never actually shot before. And as someone who has lived in medium sized to big cities, this has dramatically shaped my experience in shooting and experiencing new firearms. Due to the combo of all the indoor ranges I went to in Florida did not allow shotguns and rifles on range, the lack of outdoor ranges that I could easily get to, and cost; I have been primarily a handgun shooter for the entirety of my time as a firearm owner. As such, my experiences with rifles and shotguns are particularly limited. Now had I been raised a rural country boy, my list would probably be filled with old surplus rifles, shotguns, and I probably would have been a hunter. But since I am a city boy, I stuck to handguns, since I could shoot them regularly. Again, there is a reason why my net handle is Gunslinger. But there were certain other life experiences and circumstances that lead to experiences with other kinds of firearms.
So sit back and enjoy my all time favorite guns.
