About me
Hi! I'm 13 and was trying to find info about a Colt New Service and found this site. It was an instant hit for me and loved it. I've been a gun fan, every since I first watched Dr. No when I was 8 or 9. I became obsessed with the Walther PPK, the main gun in the movie. After that was when I got into guns and started to research about them during my spare time. Today, I'm a big gun nut, and my favorite gun manufacturers today are probably Colt, Walther and Winchester. Guns aren't my only obsession. I also enjoy reading and writing about military history, as well as the guns they used. I'm more of an outdoors kind of guy, and love hiking, camping, fishing and surviving out in the woods. Guns I hope to get in the future is all of the guns in my favorite guns list (some of the guns in their I already own, but I plan on getting the others). I enjoy coming to this site, and come to it nearly everyday.
Favorite Guns:
Colt Cobra--the Colt Cobra in .38 Special would be my weapon of choice for both concealment and as a backup to a Colt M1917 if were in battle. I would want a 3rd Generation version.
Colt SAA--come on, a good ol classic Colt SAA has got to be one of you're favorite guns!
Colt M1917--if I were to head into battle I would want a Colt M1917 in .45 ACP as my sidearm. This would also serve as a good sidearm when hunting or doing stuff outdoors.
Colt M1911A1--although I would rather have an M1917 as my sidearm, the Colt M1911A1 would be my sidearm of choice if I would have to use an automatic handgun. I would actually rather want this then an M1917 as a sidearm for home defense.
Walther PPK--I would much rather carry a Colt Cobra snubbie for concealment, but if I would have to carry an automatic pistol for concealment, I would use a German-made (insead of the Smith and Wesson manufactured) Walther PPK in .380 ACP.
Thompson M1A1--even today, if I were to head into battle I would want a Thompson M1A1 in .45 ACP as my main weapon. I would also want one for home defense.
Winchester 1895--for hunting big game such as elk or grizzlies, I would want to carry a Winchester 1985 Lever-Action rifle in .30-06 caliber.
Winchester 1894--for hunting small-medium sized game such as wolverines, deer or cougars, I would use a Winchester 1894 Lever-Action rifle in 25-35.
Ruger 10/22--for squirrel hunting or just target shooting, you can't go wrong with a reliable Ruger 10/22!
Winchester Model 1912--for close range combat or for waterfowl hunting, I would use a Winchester Model 1897 in 12 gauge.
As you can see, I much prefer older firearms then the newer ones made today, such as Berettas, Glocks, Sigs, etc.
Favorite ammunition
.22 LR--fun to shoot, and the best caliber to hunt squirrels.
.38 Special--for me, best choice for a concealment weapon.
.45 ACP--my favorite handgun caliber. .45s are powerful and reliable, you just can't go wrong with them.
.25-35--great caliber for hunting small-medium sized animals.
.30-06--best caliber for larger game in North America.
16 gauge--good all round shotgun gauge.
Least Favorite ammunition
.25 ACP--for target shooting, just use cheaper .22s. And for concealment, .38s would be a much better choice. I just never have cared for .25s.
9MM Parabellum--the only reason why people like these is because they are cheap. But you just might as well use a .45.
10MM Auto--again, just might as well use a .45.
8MM Nambu--It can't decide if this or the .25 ACP is my least favorite ammunition. 8mms just have no stopping power to them, just like .25s.

I don't know the model of it, but the first gun that I got (and still own) is a single-shot breech loading Savage .410 shotgun. I've used it to hunt grouse before.
Ruger 10/22
I got this .22 rifle for my birthday. I was told that it's the most reliable .22 rifle available. It came with a bushnell scope, and have 4 magaziens for it (two 10 round and two 25 round mags).
Winchester Model 1894
I have the rarer .25-35 version of this gun (most models of the 1894 use .30-30 shells). This gun was built in the late 1800s (it's a very old gun) and it first belonged to be great grandfather, who passed it down to my grandfather, who then passed it down to my dad, who just recently passed it down to me. I've gone deer hunting with it, and this gun carries 5 rounds.
