Our favorite firearm of 2019
After watching Howards' great video on his favorite gun of 2019, thought it would make an interesting post so we can all share our favorite gun that we acquired in 2019. Thank-you Howard for the idea.
If you didn't acquire any guns in 2019, go ahead and add a favorite purchase prior to that. Let's see your favorite, folks!
Here's my favorite acquisition in 2019. It's the new in the box, Old Model, Ruger Super Single Six 22 LR/22 Mag Convertible with a 5 1/2" barrel (my fav), made in 1965. (It was unfired when I bought it, but it has been fired, now.)
Lots of reasons I picked this one. First and foremost, I began my handgun shooting career with an Old Model Ruger Single Six that I bought a few years later in 1968, when I was legally old enough to carry a handgun. Tremendous sentimental value, here. Makes for a wonderful walk down memory lane.
Also love these Old Model Ruger single actions. They have the pre-lawyer proof old Colt four click action. Nothing says single action like that C-O-L-T four click action when you pull back that hammer. Then there's the overall fit and finish of these Old Model Rugers that was superior to what is coming out of Ruger, today and this especially includes the trigger. No tuning needed on this one.
Truly a worthy addition to our collection.

Great choice, Mags. One of our Uberti 45s was definitely in the running for us.

The favorite 2019 firearm I got was my Traditions Trapper .50cal Cap & Ball Pistol (named ASP). Not only was the SS pistol new, it brought along with it the new-to-me shooting sport of muzzleloading. It was a lot of fun this last half year learning how to reload directly into a barrel and shoot this early-1800s replica BP pistol!

PT, we've also enjoyed your new adventure into BP. Thanks for sharing.
RR, no surprise on your choice, but I never get tired of seeing that one.

Re: Our favorite firearm of 2019
This was a tough decision for me. I have been lucky to have acquired a few firearms for this last year. CZ97, Henry Sidegate 38-55, Ruger PCcarbine in 9mm and 40 S&W. But my favorite is one I was just able to find. Its 50 plus years old and made in Roosevelt,Ut a Green River Rifle Works 54 caliber Leman Indian Trade rifle. Not very many were made with the in the full stock version. I really like it and cant wait to shoot it.
