Uberti Schofield top break. 5" in 38 Spcl. Keep meaning to get one.

The Valentine's Day gift my lovely wife just gave me. A pristine Marlin JM Cowboy Limited in .44mag/.44 Special. 24inch octogon barrel, beautiful checkered stock. Shoots really nice.

I had a .44mag Trapper, miss that one.

92 rifle. Mine is 357. One of the most fun rifles I have.

With 38s it's like a 22 you can reload for.

Have Italian 1866. Silky smooth action, and a lot of my empties end up in the top of my cowboy hat. .44-40, btw.

Colt SAA IN 45 Colt with 5.5" barrel. Got a deer with it this year.

[#15]

SAA with 4 3/4" barrel.
Mine is a Navy Arms clone (Uberti) in .357 magnum. It has the best balance and "feel" of any handgun I've ever handled. Not entirely practical but oh so much fun.

Posted: 2/17/2016 11:52:11 PM EDT

Hard to make a single choice, I have an equal fondness for both.

Colt 3rd Gen. SAA .45Colt

1921 Model 94, .32 win spec.

Winchester .38-40.

For pistols, I'm partial to the 1858 Remington. For rifles I like the 92 and would love to have one in 45LC.

Colt .45 SAA. My very first handgun purchase.

[#23]

I just picked up a 1873 El Patron in .357.

My first SAA clone, only got .357 because I wasn't ready to pick up another caliber, and .38 special will do.

I don't know if it's a cowboy gun, but I absolutely love my Marlin 30AS (336 variant) in .30-30.

It's the gun on top.

That's ok, many folks don't have any class either, so you're not alone. Go crap in another thread. These are some beautiful guns to be appreciated.

Your feelings make me feel sad.

That being said:

Freedom Arms here in Wyoming builds a pretty good cowboy gun.

Kills bulls pretty good. Buffalo bulls.

Anyhoo.

Don't throw fudd guns out of the sleigh just to get even for the mistakes FUDDS made back in the 90s.

We need to stand together more now than ever.

I have a 45LC Ruger Vaquero "Sheriff" (3.75" barrel) which, in addition to being my favorite western-style gun, I open carry from time to time...hell, it's Arizona!!!

I "had" to have one of those (1899 production) for my Arizona Ranger collection. The AZ Rangers carried 1895s due to ammo availability: they could stop in at Army forts and stock up.

My Grampa had a '92 saddle ring carbine in 38-40. Took my first two whitetails with it. Sweet little rifle.

It's still in the family, but my oldest cousin has it. I wasn't the only one to take game.with it.

If I ever have the money that carbine and a SAA in 38-40 are at the top of my list.
