We all have one: That gun that we'd never sell, never trade, and never get rid of. Oh, we may own several others and yet we still come back to this gun like a comfortable pair of old shoes.
It's not the prettiest weapon we own. It's got holster wear, some scratches after years and years of ownership. The magazines are scratched up from hundreds of reloads and the action had been worked so many times that it has the texture of a seasoned cast iron skillet. Still, for some reason, it always finds a way into the holster for road trips and into our hand when things go bump in the night.
The thing is, it's YOUR gun and it works for YOU. It's not the "newest", or the flashiest. It's got some creep in the trigger but you've fired it so many times that you always know where it breaks.
I figure most of us have a gun like this (or are still looking for one). For me, it came in the shape of a battered CZ P01. I've lost track of the round count over the years but it's never had a "failure to fire" and it is still more accurate than I am.
We all have a favorite. what's yours?
