I think the Lemat is a super clever concept, but every time I pick one up (repros, obviously) it feels more like I'm holding an axe than a pistol.

I think the Lee-Enfield rifle is just about the finest military rifle ever issued, Garand included. Given that I own 9 of them, I'd say they're my overall favorite.

My favorite automatic is the 1911, specifically the pre-1934 Colt-made 1911s. While the A1 is a big improvement in terms of pointability and the hammer bite issue, the original 1911s are just pretty. I also have a soft spot for the Mauser C/96 and the Webley & Scott autos.

My favorite revolver is the Webley Mk.VI, though I'm also pretty partial to the large-frame Colts. There's no arguing that S&Ws are technologically superior - but Colts are tougher. While my New Service is about the clunkiest revolver I've ever seen, but I just like the feel of the old boat anchor. There's something comforting about knowing even if I miss with all 6 shots, I can still beat him to death with it.

My favorite semi-auto rifle is the Tokarev SVT-40 - I've shot just about all of it's contemporaries short of the Japanese Type-5, but it's easily the most fun. My favorite automatic rifle is the C8A2 carbine - very accurate and I'm comfortable enough with it to use it when I haven't slept for a week. Just wish they'd give me one.

As far as Pistols go I love the Sig-Sauer P-220R. it fits my hand well and they shoot great. As far as Civilian Rifles go I love my Remington M-700P. My shotgun of Choice is the Mossberg 500 series and I have owned two.

As far as Class 3 goes I am a fan of the MP-5K PDW, the M-4A1 carbine with M-203 and the M-60 machinegun. Personally I can't stand the standard Gip on the M-249.

ATM, the only real firearm I've shot is a 22-caliber semi-auto hunting rifle my dad had when I was a kid.

Aside from that, I do quite enjoy shooting my airsoft D-Boys M4A1 w/M203.

I do have an acquaintance who might be getting an LMT MRP gas piston carbine. Maybe I'll get a chance to shoot it someday...

Gunmaster, I have heard a .30carbine ruger blackhawk is a fun single action, lets just say, hearing protection!

It would be great at the range, someone would see your pistol sounding off like a rifle and just have to check it out.

MY dad used to own a Ruger Black Hawk in .44 MAGNUM, which is a lot louder than a .30 Carbine (keep in mind all short barreled guns are loud, even .22s, but a .30 Carbine is pretty quiet in an M1) a Black Hawk pistol on the other hand, is like thunder in your hand.

.300 Winmag in a 25 yard indoor range. They could hear it go off two stories up through the floors.

That's not hard to believe. If you shoot indoors though I should hope you wear ear protection, especially when firing a .300 Win Mag. For that matter, shooting the .30 Carbine outdoors should require earmuffs too.

You never think loud guns are damaging until you blow out an ear drum like my dad did shooting a .357 Ruger Speed Six.

I've fired a Ruger SuperBlack Hawk (180 grains) .44 Magnum with a custom grip. It kicks pretty hard but for me it's dead accurate. My dad is thinking about selling but has regrets that he'll miss it.

Default little experience, but sure about this

I've only fired two guns.... One is PT series(i don't remember its serial number....But i am sure that it is PT) from Taurus, which is copy and re-designing of Beretta 92 series, and the other is Beretta's Cx4 "Storm" carbine...

Personally....I really like STORM becuase it hits well, manages to fire well...and it is kind of reliable firearm.
