Yeah, I think the XDs are okay. I'd rather take a 1911 though. I have a vast list of unknown guns I could add but some of them are TOO obscure. A google search wouldn't find some of them. I've always liked the Remington Model 10 shotgun, I believe it was the first bottom ejecting shotgun ever made, and the take-down system puts it in two pieces in under ten seconds (very handy). I love the Browning A5 series, preferabley the Brownings, because the Remington Model 11 and Savage Model 720 are a little cheapened and they don't have the magazine cut-off to insert single rounds into the breach. I have a fondness for the Franchi 48 shotgun, it's really light and based off the A5 series. My dad specially built one for my grandpa when he went blind in his right eye. A red-dot sight is mounted on the left so he can use his left eye to aim.
I like the Savage Model 24, an O/U with a 20 Gauge under-barrel and a .22 LR upper barrel. I have a camping version with an 18" barrel and pistol grip, stainless steel. I like the Smith & Wesson 39 9mm, it's accurate and fun to shoot. My mom owns one with pearl grips (which look nice but suck for gripping, there's no friction and it slips too easily). The only thing I don't like is the magazine safety. It has to be in the gun to fire
. While gigantic, the Ruger Super Redhawk with a 9.5" barrel and scope is a formidable weapon, I can destroy coffey cans with it. Loud though.
If you want obscure guns, I could list the stuff my dad keeps in the back of his shop, I could make a huge list in a day. I think a video game should allow you to enter an authentic gunshop and pick whatever you want. That'd be cool.
