RJM Campfire Outfitter R Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 7,923 Likes: 1 Rochester, N.H. USA	Have been thinking about this post since it was posted...and can't come up with a good answer... Many people have asked me "what gun do you like shooting the most" and I always have the same answer, "the one in my hand at the time". If I buy something and don't like it, the gun goes down the road shortly...therefor anything that is left is a "favorite" for whatever purpose it was intended... So if asked "what is your favorite .22 semi" or "CC handgun" I could tell you...but favorite "handgun" I have to go back to "whatever is in my hand at the time"...

No tall adjustable tritium sights, funneled mag well, ambi extended safeties, accurizing, checkering, etc. Amazing that anyone hit anything (or anyone) back in the day with the old-timers. Bob '31 Colt Government Trusted favorite...'67 T series Hi Power Walther/Manurhin Austrian Police .32. Superb quality. Concealable, accurate, reliable. Last edited by RGK; 02/04/17.

In a fit of unexplained madness, I sold it...I tried to buy it back, but it was a no go. So I bought a new one, a Pro Carry II and it shoots better than the old one. I still have the bone grips and will be installing them on the new Kimber. Harry
