I guess im more modern. I really like the lazer grip idea, tac lights ect. and am more of the Plastic kind of guy. But I also like some metal frames like the 1911. But being a "youngster" im more prone to choose a gun that tickles the sences. I really like S.W.A.T style tactical pistols and shotguns, but at the same time sometimes i feel like checking out an old revolver.

Interesting. I carry a 1911 in stainless with micarta grips through the week and a blue single action revolver on weekends. I think that leans me pretty far toward traditional...

 

[Gunnutty]

Very traditional. 1911 wood grips, M1carbine, M1 Garand, I like the older look.

 

[Bud White]

I like blued guns for looks but prefer stainless or plastic guns for carry

I like especially the old School blued Guns the colt royal blue or the old stainless blued


I usually end up with Rubber Grips because they fit my hand the best

 

[Roadrunner]

I like tradition, but also appreciate classy modern designs (SIG comes to mind). What I don't like are gimmicks of any kind or too much plastic.

 

[dimmak]

I lvoe them both and would roll around in a pile of any vintage quality firearms if only it wouldnt scratch me up so bad!:embarassed:

 

[raevan]

I guess I fit the classic tradition, however If someone were to give me a 'plastic' gun I would keep it around for a plinker so I could save the wear on my classics.

 

[Bruces45]

SS for cary blued for everything else

 

[duckhunter]

I guess I'm a mix. I'm a big fan of synthetic stocks on my waterfowl guns, all the other long guns wear wood. Handguns are a mix of blue/wood and stainless/rubber. At the end of the day, the lever rifles and the M1 give me a warm fuzzy that the duck guns just can't match.

 

[Ti Carry]

Traditional 1911 platform with a hint of modern customizing, sites, dehorn, trigger, etc, for a better carry gun.

I am not much for the tactical plastic but I respect the reliability of them. but every now and then something comes along, like say! the XD 45 that has me giving it a good look and possibly a step closer to possibly someday picking one up! but I wouldn't bet on it.

Blued for the beauty and SS for carry.

Ti.

 

[500Mag]

I love all guns, however, I'm partial to the shiny ones. So I'll take stainless steel over blued every time I'm given the option.

 

[P95Carry]

Hmmm quite a mix here - but several folks I think I share ground with.

From an age standpoint very traditional - and this means mostly i guess older classic revo's etc. Plus too ''ol slabsides''.

From carry POV tho I come right into late 20th and early 21st centuries, whereby my choice is based on sound ergonomics, reliability and performance, coupled with capacity.

I am there fore a mix - aesthetics take me traditional but function over form brings me modern for carry. I want the best for my purpose regardless of age - it just happens to be modern.

I may even <cough> get a Glock eventually :18:

 

[Team American]

I like both...traditional arms like the M1 and 1911, and new stuff also. My Rock River AR and DSA FAL, Benelli shotgun, and HK USPc are all enjoyable to handle and shoot.

If it's RELIABLE...I like it! :image035:

 

[rocky]

A bit of both. I like blued guns, own tactical hardware and gear (AR, HK ,tac vest, ect) Also wear a cowboy hat and carry SA sixguns sometimes.
I am not a shiny gun guy. Shiny reflects, which isn't good hunting or other applications.
I won polyer guns and traditional wood and steal too.

 

[P95Carry]

and steal too.

Shucks Rocky - thought you paid for em all

J/K fella :18:

 

[Captain Crunch]

Traditionalist

Steel or steel/alloy guns (no polymer).

Wood stocks.

Leather holsters (no Kydex).

Lead or jacketed lead bullets.

Allright, Captain Crunch!!! Gotta respect a man who doesn't beat around the bush :hand10: :yup:

 

[PatrioticRick]

Got the lever action 94, double barrel exposed hammers, and SS 1911. No plastic, Sounds traditional.

 

[cougartxn]

Mixed

I suppose I fall in line like a lot of you. I love my XD but also enjoy shooting a .44 Ruger Super Blackhawk as well. I have a .38 revolver thats a fun one too. I suppose there's form and function to love about both.
