    Rem. 870 wingmaster 12ga.

    Kind of an all around general purpose firearm, can do most anything, but not an expert at any. And just like the 870 I inherited from my Dad, that shot countless rounds of trap over a 25 year period, my knees are just as wornout as the shell latches on that old gun, and often fail when the heat is on.

    Iver Johnson .410 break open single shot....A little uncommon but familiar just the same. I don't throw much shot but I could probably still take down butterflys and very small birds. Of course I don't make much noise or fuss either. I am expensive to feed and quite particular in what I like. No one appreciates me until some nasty job needs to be done and a simple solution is needed...

    Just like others, 1911.

    A few "parts" replaced, a couple repaired, overall "slightly worn", but still functional. Show a few battle scars (dents, dings and scratches), could use a "reblue" but that would take away all the character. In need of new set of sights.

    I'm like my old Northwest trade gun. Known to go off half cocked at times, kind of smelly when working, a bit rough and rusty around the edges, but get the job done.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    I would probably be a 7-1/2" Blackhawk in .45 Colt or a Garand. Both for the same reasons- versatile, traditional, in for the long run.

    I don't have one but I would probably be a Handi-rifle with a bunch of extra barrels. Rough around the edges and a jack of all trades. My wife would probably add cheap to the description, but I prefer economical.
