    The most fun gun you shoot.

    I bought a Masterpiece arms 9mm with fake can. It was a purchase just "in case"

    I got to playing with it and found that I can load 1.3 gr of Win 231 under the Lee 125 RNFP boolit and it cycles fine. It is a hoot to shoot and 'bump fire'.

    That load wont cycle my other 9mm's so I color the primers to keep them separate.

    Surprisingly accurate if aimed and have no problems hitting a B-27 @ 80 yrds

    Sounds pretty awesome. How much did that pistol cost?

    For me, my favorite gun to shoot might just be a Marlin 795. It's a ton of fun trying to hit targets at ranges past 100 yards, since you have to hold over so much.

    I won't own a gun I don't enjoy shooting but just for "fun" it's gotta be my 1894 Marlin. A half-dozen liter plastic bottles, a few clay pigeons, and coffee can of reloads and I'm fixed for a couple hours of old-fashioned plinkin'.

    For me it is the T/C Contender. 22lr, 22Hornet, 223Rem, 357Mag, 44Mag, 30-30, 7X30 Waters. All of my barrels shoot cast well, and the versatility and accuracy is unmatched (for me anyway). From silhouette shooting to prairie dogs at over 200yds. Deer, elk, and everything in between. I have had more fun with this than any other.

    LMT AR-10. Spent a fortune, but absolutey love that gun! I affectionately call it "The Pig" It just eats up 30 cal ammo and the thing weighs a ton.

    I love 'em all. Current favorites are wheel guns. I don't have to look for brass in the snow.

    1894C, nothing like a mag dump of 170 grain bullets hitting steel at 150 yards. I enjoy shooting all of my firearms. But chasing brass from the autos is tiring. The 1894C and S&W 586 always go to the range w/ me. My carry gun is a Walther PPS so that's a joy to shoot as well.

    These days, it's my Great Grand Dad's Win. Model 94 32-40. Built in 1897, it's amazing how accurate it is with Accurate Molds 32-180C (my design) and IMR 4895. I've been looking for a vintage appearing Marble tang sight (windage adjusable) to wring every last bit of accuracy out of it.

    Fun Gun?
    FR7 in 7.62 x 51 whatever with 32 cal pistol boolits sized to 311, small smount of powder, any primer. Great plinking to 100 yds.
    Small action Martini in 38/357 and shooting sub-sonic 38 special thru it. All you hear is "Chuff" and the plate moves at 100 yds.
    Small action Martini in 22 mag with a loong barrel and a 20 power Lyman super target spot on it. Grass Hoppers and bumble bees at 100 (sometimes), and I fear that I'll never find cheap ammo for it anymore.

    Normally, I love my revolvers, but since it's arrival, my M1 Garand is the most fun to shoot. I've had it out a few times shooting and easily go through 200 rounds per session, most HXP surplus but some handloads too. So far, more fun than my leverguns or my all time favorite rifle; a 10-22.

    But I've got a Savage No. 4 Mk I* in the works that is pretty promising...

    Fun to me is hitting the target, so my funnest gun is my Day 30X (22 on a 45 frame). The first time I shot it (in competition) I shot a 298 match course (Clover Range @ Ft Sam)- the next time (a few days later) I set a new USAF record on one stage of the 22 Match at the All-AF matches - that still stands! (Because they don't shoot that particular match anymore...)

    9mm AR with slidefire stock, built it for fun and it is. Yes it eats ammo and I don't care, that's why I cast and reload. Always looking forward to ventilating a new burn barrel...

    If it goes bang without the heavy recoil I love it.
