Each containing a handgun. One box holds a S&W 60-10. One holds a 1911 .45. One holds a Glock 34. Can you guess which box contains which gun (Left, Middle, Right)?

I'm going along with the majority. 1911, s&w, and a clock.

There are 6 possible permutations (arrangements) in this game. 1 chance in 6 of getting it right. Mags got it right. Don't play poker with Mags.
Thanks for playing.

I would have gotten the 1911 right, but reversed the glock and the smith.

Late to the party but I would have agreed with the above. Nice trio you have there and nice boxes too.

Thanks. I can only take credit for one of the boxes. I made the one on the left (Bubinga and Cocobolo), originally as a gift for my wife. The other two were purchased many years ago by her, I just repurposed them.

Here was my rationale. S&W to me is a big revolver and likely in the biggest box on the left. Glock is slightly smaller than a 1911, so that put the Glock in smallest box in the middle and the 1911 in the 1911 looking box on the right. Oh and I usually don't loose too often at amateur poker.

That's a relief. I was concerned that you might have hacked into my computer.
