I have a Benelli M2 that I can shoot with my eyes closed.
When we shoot clays for competition....they wont let me use it.

I agree on the Winchester lever guns. Also, the Glock 19. Likely the latter is just due to having worked with Glocks so much for so long.

My old beat up Manufrance 16ga SXS is a top candidate. The Husqvarna FN/98 9,3X62 is a drop-right-on-it rifle. It seems to fall into my hands right on target. This Franchi 48 12ga 25" barreled LW autoloader is a natural pointer on chukar. I found it at a great price on Gunbroker years ago. A long time favorite is this Sauer cape gun 12ga-8X57JR/12ga SXS combo. When shouldered, a look through the scope confirms it pointed right, and the shotgun shoots like it was custom made for me.

I like revolvers but they don’t fit my hands at all. For all of the Glock “feels like a 2x4” comments Glock 17’s fit my 2x hands like a glove. I have a Browning Citori White Lightning that fits and points well without any modifications. I’m less picky about rifles but I like trim rifles with a more open pistol grip ie a Winchester model 70. I’m not a Remington hater at all but they feel clubby to me. I’m 6’3” but for a fighting gun prefer Warsaw Pact length stocks to NATO length and same for a hunting rifle that isn’t heavy recoiling or set up for precision shooting.

All my glock pistols fit my hands and point well. But I wear 2X in glove size.

Colt (or clone) 1911. I thought I could not shoot a pistol well until I tried a 1911, when I did I found out that it was amazingly easy to shoot and hit with one.

I'm not that much of a shotgun shooter but my long-gone Browning model 2000 was a natural for me. Too bad it was a shixtty gun. I killed a lot of stuff with it.

They haven't made a pistol that does that for me yet. Probably my 870 shotgun is the best natural point for me.

Weatherby bolt guns fit me well and I don't even own one. I likes Sakos...

Pistols: Luger and early Webley with a birds head grip. 1911s point too low, which is why the arched mainspring housing was developed.
Rifles: Winchester 71. Points like a fine shotgun. Put it on your shoulder and the sights are lined up.
Shotgun: Webley 20 ga SxS. We had one at the LGS I used to work at and I marveled at what a natural pointer it was. Too rich for my blood then, though.
