Top 5 guns with a cult following

[Joe13]

Glock? Pa-shaw! Where's the Kahr love? My CW45 also takes standard 1911 mags (and my ten rounder).
My mag inventory is crazy yuuuge! Not so much with my G26. And it shoots real 45ACP, not that 45GAP wannabe stuff.

3..2..1... ok let the flaming begin.

 

[Joe13]

Double yay!!!!!

The cult of the Colt Python is also off putting. Both the ar and the ak also have the same rabidly fanatical followers.

Just a hint? The perfect gun has yet to be invented.

Personally, I tend to be in the following cults: S&W k-frame, 1911, Garand, and US milsurp bolt guns. All the rest are just Legos to fill a specific purpose. They have no soul.

Subjective list for sure, the cult-worthy pieces I drool over are all metal and wood.

- Luger
- M1 Garand
- Colt 1911
- 10/22
- Whatever gun you shot first with your dad/brother/scout troop/best friend/...

So that AR-7 we had in scout camp that the "range master" had "filed down the sear" on counts? 8 rounds real fast.

Get out the gasoline and tie me to the stake, because I am a heretic and own none of the 5 listed......

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Only one I own is the Colt 1911.

 

[Medic!]

So many well made guns. And I have my preferences.
But I like all guns.

I just haven't gotten around to owning them all yet.

 

[JRuby]

i am also think the M1A should be on that list.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

LOL!!! I saw the MAS-36 in his lead in and thought jeeze this is going to be both weird and disappointing!

I'm with Medic! On this one! Like them all! Even if I disagree with some of the choices on the video.

Hear hear! Big M1a fan here too. Since it is still a Garand action, though, I consider the M1a Temple to be a schismatic faction of the Church of Garand. If you love one you usually feel some kinship with the other. I do, anyway.

 

[MountainBear]

Those of us who worship at the temple of John C. Garand consider the M14 and its ilk to be short caliber bottom feeders.

I'll give a thumbs up to both - great guns!

 

[JRuby]

We used M14s on the subs when I was in so i had to get one of my own. i cant imagine being without one. To me they are the superior outcome of what Mr. Garand was working towards when he started working on the garand.


kind of joking.

Sinner, wretch, and reprobate! Prepare for a War of Religion whereupon thou shalt verily be smote with His own holy short caliber fury! 20 angelic hosts, no mere 8. Hah!

I'm proud of anyone that collect any type of gun.

Beets the he!! out of a bottle cap collection!

The father, John C. knew that if you taught your soldiers to shoot and gave them a real caliber, they only needed 8.

I love my Garand. In terms of pure fun to shoot, it's hard to beat. There are shortcomings of the gun as a modern rifle and were at the time as a main battle rifle. But it served the country well.

 

[HuckleberryFun]

Agreed, @MountainBear
The M1 Garand in capable hands can hold its own. Also, legend has it that an experienced infantryman could reload his M1 with a new 8 round clip as fast or faster than another soldier with a newly issued M14 could rock a new magazine into his rifle. I dunno if that's true or not, but I've heard that legend more than once. Still, I'd like to see him top off his M1 with an administrative reload.

 

[MountainBear]

I've seen old guys who can run a Garand and be very competent.
