What’s your King of the Safe

[myroverleaks]

My king or kings would be the ones I trust most. My JP CTR rifle and my glock 17 which I have had for over 30 years. They both eat everything I ever feed them and NEVER disappoint. They have earned their seats at the front of my safe.

My Para-Ordnance P14.45. The dealer listed it on Gunbroker with the auction ending at 0100 and I was working nights so I won the auction for $434. The dealer (in Houston) had weird hours so when I emailed the actual firearm owner, he agreed to meet my brother (he was in Houston for a school). They met, my brother paid for it and brought it to me. No shipping, no bothersome paperwork, and it shoots like a dream.

It is my go to gun when I do not need to carry concealed.

Agreed. But I look at these as Guards of the Safe (and everything else) I also have these in the front for easy access. And like you, one is the Glock 17 (2nd Gen). I’ve had it like forever.

Gen 2 single pin here. I wish I could remember all the different pistols I interviewed as a replacement for it.

Here’s one I eventually found that has a special place in the safe. A Colt Officers Elite. You won’t see these everyday. The story goes that Colt did a special run of 350 of these back in 1990 for a gun shop/ distributor in California. The shop sold only a handful until a fire destroyed a warehouse where the bulk were stored. Reports are less than 10 survived. It’s just a story at this point but my research is ongoing trying to verify some facts on it. The other aspect regarding this pistol is that it came out of Retired Lt. Col. Robert K. Brown’s firearm collection. That has been authenticated from Sportsmans Legacy, the place where part of his collection was auctioned off. He was the creator and owner of the now defunct Soldiers of Fortune magazine. And a self described real life mercenary. Google him, he’s an interesting guy. Anyway, sorry for the long post:

Yep. Here's my USFA n .45LC.

King implies biggest

It's a hoot to shoot

Since I never refer to my handguns as a she or her (they are much more reliable than any a female gender) I’ll reference one as a King. What are you most proud to own currently and why?

A 1914 Navy luger on a carbine frame with elephant ivory grips, 4mm and 22 lr converserions and yes I do shoot it!

 

[Axxe55]

If a person doesn't refer to inanimate objects in a gender related manner, are they gender-neutral, or transgender?

Asking for a friend!

My safe is a meritocracy. No kings or Potentates. All of the Citizens are treated equally, according to their abilities.
(Translation: I do not have any collector's quality guns, just a bunch of serviceable tools, and a few curios)

I am the proud owner of perhaps the nicest original 1921 Colt Thompson in existence. Definitely top 10.
Perhaps there are some new in box guns out there but I have never seen one come up.

As far as handguns perhaps a Detonics combatmaster in .451 Detonics magnum.

 

[Dimonback]

My S&W 1911 (with a few added features). This was bought used for a normal price (at the time) for a run of the mill 1911. Years later I find out that in the early days of the SW Custom Shop, the Custom Shop 'smiths didn't have enough work to keep busy- so they worked on a run of these pistols. Before I knew this, I'd often wondered why I preferred it over any of the WCs, LBs,and EBs I'd fired.

 

[justinbowser]

This is such an unfair question, I love 'em all! I could narrow it down to 3, I suppose. In no particular order:

Series 70 Colt Gold Cup in .45 ACP
CMP M1 Garand
S&W Mod 29 w/6" barrel

 

[deemus]

Numero uno for me is my dad's service revolver. S&W (not sure the model) 38 special on a 44 frame. He paid $35 in 1957, and carried it for 36 years. At some point my son will get it, per my dad's instructions.

No pics?

My Dad’s back up gun when he was on the Alabama Highway Patrol. Given to him on his birthday in 1964 by my mom.
And

the Marlin 336 30-30 he bought in 1972 as a cruiser carbine with more “punch” than the M2 he was issued.

I'm kinda a luddite and dont know how to take a pic and upload it.
here are some pics from Checkpoint Charlie's that was brokering the gun 4 years ago. I chased this exact gun for years.
I can copy and paste !
