I enjoy my Kimber 1911 45 ACP and I usually take my 22 conversion to extend the shooting fun especially if I'm out for bunnies.

Wink Favorite Handgun

Lets See my favorite handgun for plinking is my Ruger semi auto 22 rimfire with the slab side bull barrel. I have a millet red dot sight on it and it is amazingly accurate . Really fun to use on the steel silhouete range with Velocitors

I would have to say my 6 inch barrel, custom S&W 25-5 is my favorite. It is by far my most accurate, it fits me perfectly, and I can use either .45 Colt or change the cylinder and use .45 ACP. I don't hunt with it any more, but it has taken hogs, one deer, and a number of varmints.

Smith&Wesson Model 57 in .41 Mag, 6 inch barrel adjustable sites and a set of Pachmyer's. Killed everything from grouse upto moose with it.(Okay the moose was allready hit with the 300 but it was still standing before I put the final shot into it, mental note bring more ammo for the rifle next time)

Not many people shoot this caliber anymore.

AlaskaBoy.

Centerfire: I guess it has to be my Merrill or XL, if you wish. I pick up the leather bag and off I go to the the field with a 22, 30 Merrill, 30-30, 32-20 and 357. The 22 and 32-20 are scoped. It is the very best hunting handgun I have ever owned and may well be the best hunting handgun ever made.

Rimfire: The Browning Buckmark 5 inch gun, is just a fun gun to shoot, especially with a dot sight.

Mostly my Model 18-3 S&W. Its "only" a 22 but a hoot to shoot. Owned it about 35 years and its still going.

Being a rifle nut I mostly shoot a Rem 700 in 280. Just a accurate rifle that usually will hit what its aiming at. I stress the aiming at part. Its shoots about 150% better that I do.

That's a hard question because it sort of implies enjoyment. I guess of them all it would be a 1911 but I sure enjoy a lot of others as well. A pre-war 4" Woodsman is close.

Just added another pistol to the collection it is a Para-Ord Nite Tac LDA in stainless. This one should be a shooter like the others.

my glock 36 in 45. If you learn to handle a large caliber handgun in a small package everything else gets a little easier to shoot.
