Five Guns

[b4uqzme]

I've seen some "Five Guns" videos on the youTuber but don't recall seeing it discussed here.

If you had to limit yourself to five firearms from those you already own, which would you choose and why? For those who own less than 5, it would be great to hear why you chose the one(s) you own.

I really don't have any logical reasoning or strategy for my choices. Mostly these are just my favorites:

1. Kahr K40 - my EDC and my favorite cartridge.
2. Browning Hi Power Mark3 40sw - prettiest pistol I own and again in my favorite 40 - turns 40 into marshmallows.
3. Kahr MK9 - my BUG and my back up cartridge in case I run out of 40.
4. Ruger 77/357 - only long gun on the list - it shoots 38sp and 357mag. 357 out of a long barrel packs a whollup!
5. Ruger SP101 357 snubbie - goes with the rifle and 357mag out of a revolver ain't chicken sh!t either.

OK, I showed you mine now show me yours...

[mr surveyor]

1. Marlin 336 .30-30
2. Ruger SP101 3" .357
3. S&W M36 .38 spl J-frame
4. Mossberg 500 "Bantam" 20 ga.
5. Kimber Compact Stainless 4"

Those would be my choices if I could afford to own guns.

Beretta 96 inox......beautiful firearm, favorite cartridge..........Sig P220 SAS...smoothed for carry, great carry and range gun, and it's .45 cal...............Ruger stainless speed six 9mm, just purdy, and smooth as a babies hynee..........MK9 LTD......great for carry, very accurate for a small firearm, my EDC........sold the rest, #5 to be determined at a later date.

[Bawanna]

Only 5 huh? Have to ponder this a bit.

Unless you sold a Colt series 70, you kept the good ones. I'm REAL envious of that Ruger 9mm. Only made them for one year if I recall...

Yep 5. I'm all about rules ya know. As long as they are MY rules

[chrish]

I'll have to cheat sorta...there aren't 5 in my collection that I'd keep if I had to limit myself to 5. I'd have to dump all but 3 and then buy 2 to complete the 5, then dump the profit into ammo.

The 2 new guns I'd add would be a second TP9 and an AAC Micro 7 bolt action.

So my final list would be...

1. Kahr TP9 (existing)
2. Kahr TP9
3. CZ P-01 (existing)
4. Magnum Research MLR22AT rifle (existing)
5. AAC Micro 7

If I were to purchase a Colt, a 70 series would be the only one I would purchase. The Ruger's were made from 1972-1988. Ruger refuses to release production records, so you can find dates of mfg., but never prod. numbers. So, it's anyone's guess how many 9mm's were made, especially since they were making the service and security models at the same time, plus, making them for overseas, and the postal service, and the Canadian postal service. I have a 1981 prod. model.........how many were made is anybody's guess. There is one on Gunbroker right now, brand new, but he's asking a mortgage for it.
