Re: Manliest Guns
Real men don't spend very much time worrying about what is and isn't manly.

Re: Manliest Guns
My favorite quote from the article -
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
...because a 9mm is a .45 set on stun...
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I have Numbers 2, 3, 7, 9, 10.
I steadfastly refuse #8, even if I collect the rest of the set.

I score a 2 out of 10
I need to either grow more chest hair or buy more guns.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere. -Thomas Jefferson
Re: Manliest Guns
I thought the M-N had a safety device on the bolt? Maybe I am thinking of another bolty.#9: Mosin-Nagant M44
Speaking of guns without safeties, here's the Mosin-Nagant M44 Carbine from Russia.
It doesn't mention any of the anti-bear pistols. No lever guns at all. No 45/70. No single action colts. No M14, FAL, HK91.
I guess the author likes surplus. :)
Re: Manliest Guns
I guess there are 3 there I don't have, but I would say my Marlin 1894 SS in 44Mag makes up for the lack of a Model 29.

Re: Manliest Guns
Manly men use whatever gun is at hand, efficiently, accurately, and without remorse. REALLY manly men use whatever gun is at hand, even though they are scared out of their wits, know they aren't really prepared for this, and know that protecting a loved one may get them killed — and they take care of business anyway.bdickens wrote:Real men don't spend very much time worrying about what is and isn't manly.

Re: Manliest Guns
Reminds me of the opening line Harold Bell Wright's "When A Man's A Man":
There is a land where a man, to live, must be a man. It is a land of granite and marble and porphyry and gold--and a man's strength must be as the strength of the primeval hills. It is a land of oaks and cedars and pines--and a man's mental grace must be as the grace of the untamed trees. It is a land of far-arched and unstained skies, where the wind sweeps free and untainted, and the atmosphere is the atmosphere of those places that remain as God made them--and a man's soul must be as the unstained skies, the unburdened wind, and the untainted atmosphere. It is a land of wide mesas, of wild, rolling pastures and broad, untilled, valley meadows--and a man's freedom must be that freedom which is not bounded by the fences of a too weak and timid conventionalism.
In this land every man is--by divine right--his own king; he is his own jury, his own counsel, his own judge, and--if it must be--his own executioner. And in this land where a man, to live, must be a man, a woman, if she be not a woman, must surely perish.

Re: Manliest Guns
7 out of 10 (though it could be 6 if the 1911 has to be a Colt model and not a clone from another vendor)
