Odd reasons for liking a particular firearm

Do you like any particular gun you own for an unusual reason?

Two things I love about my HK USP: The sound it makes when I rack the slide is unlike any other weapon I own, and very satisfying to hear. Also, the slide stop is apparently weak somehow, because approximately 50% of the time I forcefully insert a loaded mag with the weapon on fire, the slide slams back into battery the instant the mag is seated, saving me around a second on reload time. This is probably not a desirable feature to most people, but I love it.

Well I just bought it and so I have only got it to the range once. But I really like my Tec-9. It is goofy looking. Hard to hold. Complicated to take apart and put back together. Compared to most of my other guns it is practicaly usless. But damn it's fun. It also really pisses off the anti's.

I like the USP so much I just bought a .45 Compact yesterday as a new carry gun.

When I still had it, the mere physical presence of my original .44 Auto Mag just gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.....I miss that gun sometimes.

I like my Freedom Arms .475 Linebaugh because of how hard it kicks. It really thumps you hard, I love guns like that.

My two .454s, my .460 S&W, and my newly aquired .500 S&W do not kick nearly as hard as that thing does.

I love how the finish has my finger grooves on my Desert Eagle.

Desertmoon, I remember you posting that you bought the Auto Mag and loved it. It was a beautiful gun. Why'd you have to sell it?

I love my Glock because the slide is shiny.

I love all my guns. I especially love cleaning them, meticulously.

I love how balanced my MP-661K feels in my hands. And the sound it makes when I fire it.. It makes my pee pee tingle..

I love each and every one of my dis-harmony prevention units equally!

My SA Govt model. It's got a bit of hand cut metal work done to it and was the first auto pistol I encountered that would go bang every time with every thing you put in it. It'll feed absoloutly any bullet profile 100% and begs for more. I really dont deserve that thing. I wish I could live up to it's potential. I love it like Sledge loves his .44 and I'm as dysfunctional without it.

My Broomhandles. I love that they are like a puzzle and hard to take down and put back together.

My Ruger Super Blackhawk because my best friend used it as a dildo

I like oddball rimfires like the recently obtained savage 19NRA with full stock and original peep and leather.

But the all time favorite is a bigbore double. The sound of a ctg dropping into the chamber....ahhh heaven!

Good stuff.

I'll admit it....I bought my S&W 1066 because of Miami Vice (the original Miami Vice!)

For some reason I really like my Glock....

It is ugly as hell....It only shoots a 9mm so I know it does'nt have enough juice to kill ANYTHING....It will one day likely go Kaboom....the trigger sucks and has a funny little protrusion....the grip angle is bad....half of it is made by Matel....half of Arfcom hates it...ohhh and it is not a 1911....

I love my Colt Commando because bullets come out the end of the tube thingie really fast
when I shoot it full auto.
