Guns with Character

[Searcher1970]

Broomhandle Mauser

The question was about firearms in general although most answered the question with a handgun. I'll break the trend and say that the Thompson Submachine gun is truly the gun with the most character

 

[Dr.Rob]

Pre war Colts, Lugers and big frame Smiths. I like old guns witha little character, but the fire bluing on a Colt of that vintage is a thing to behold.

Dr. Rob, you forgot...

Your BP shotgun.

The Beretta 92FS...

I would guess the Colt would be "intrinsic" character, and the Browning would be more "extrinsic" character

[/IMG]Colt 1925 Commercial Government, restored by Bill Adair, Post WWII FN Hi Power, with no bluing, lots of "character"

Here are two of mine with "character".

 

[moooose102]

Colt 1911, Smith and Wesson Elmer Keith edition, any engraved and / or gold inlayed / blued revovlver, Colt Python, Walther ppk, Colt Peacemaker, are some of them. really, i am not that much of a colt fan, but they have made some good guns over the years.

 

[Dimis]

wow lots of good responses

 

[coosbaycreep]

character?



It's hard to beat a Dirty Harry gun, a mac, and a broken Tec-9.

lugers, broomhandle mausers, uzis, DA colt revolvers, and the old time pocket pistols and pepperboxes are wicked too. Actually, my great uncle has a black powder blunderbuss pistol thingie, and that's quite a sight to behold.

the shotgun pistol used by Mad Max is up there too

The Colt Defender... pure business, yet classy and refined.

[AZ Desertrat]

Colt Detective Special, S&W Model 10, and the Luger. I also throw in the S&W M60 with 3 inch barrel.

 

[alistaire]

The Borchard C-93. Admittedly it is criminally insane character...

Colt dick

 

[glassman]

M19-4

 

[Damon555]

Looking at any gun from this angle would give it character in my book......But this one is just my boring old G30

I've always liked these two. A 41 Colt shipped to New Mexico in 1901, with lots of holster wear and a U.S. 45 . I 'll bet they could tell some stories too.

From this thread we may conclude that every gun ever has character.

Especially the Hi-Point C9.

 

[Dr.Rob]

SM that's true but this is the HANDGUN forum. Adds my Colt Magnum Carry to the mix, only because they are sort of rare.

 

[oneounceload]

I'll add the H&K P7 - simple, ambidextrous, accurate, and a joy to shoot

 

[Dimis]

Meowhead i have to say no not every gun has character the massproduced modern guns dont have a soul to me (not bashing them for firearms just for characters)
held an XDm 40 and taurus 24/7 yesterday niether had character but im sure both worked fine now the antique 1911 had butt loads of character and holding it made me think of a billion stories that could be told of this gun alone

Dr. Rob i posted this in the handgun forum because there seemed to be more handguns with character to me but ANY gun is fine by me

Well worn Colt
