I don't have a whole lot of guns but, like TAM I tend to favor a blend of new yet traditional. I don't buy used guns.

My handguns are all SA/DA with hammers. They don't make many like that anymore. My EDC is is a Beretta Storm PX4 SC. The action is pretty much old school but it has a curvy grip and shape with lots of plastic.

My favorite rifle is my Ruger Gunsite Scout. It is an M77 style bolt action magazine fed. Its a relatively modern design and concept but it is a bolt action after all. It's safe buddy an AR15, while cheaper to shoot just as much fun and accurate lacks the style and character of the scout rifle. While the AR is well made and shoots well, it is still a mass-produced lump of cheaply made aluminum and plastic that looks like everyone else's rifle.

My wife and I each have a previous firearm that has been relegated to backup status. We each now carry striker fired auto-loaders. I prefer a large handgun, she wants as smaller one. I now use her Ruger LCR .38, Remora RFT, as my active backup. My Tanfoglio BTA90 is secured.

She carriers her Walther PPS M2 LE in a Remora RFT. I carry my S&W M&P M2.0 9mm 5inch in a Safariland ALS with QLS and Guard.

That's three.

I am planning to acquire a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 to fold, conceal, and carry into hospitals. Looking at either an S&W M&P M2.0 Compact 9mm 3.6inch or Shield 9mm for those rare occasions on which I purposefully conceal. Same manual of arms as my EDC.

Guess that makes five.

That's like picking a favorite girlfriend. Oh wait, not that hard at all.

Guns that will generally catch my eye:

- A beautiful O/U shotgun w/ top grade wood

- A rifle w/ same.

- A really great 1911

- Something new
