Re: What is the quintessential American firearm?

WINCHESTER MODEL 94: The great American lever-action, and the biggest-selling commercial sporting rifle in American history. Used to harvest more deer than any other single rifle; used extensively in the Mexican Revolution (1910-20), etc, etc, etc.......

WINCHESTER MODEL 70: The standard bolt-action commercial sporting rifle of the world. Even Mauser 98s get customized with pusedo Model 70 features.........

REMINGTON MODEL 870: The most popular and durable American sporting shotgun, the standard of police agencies, pheasant fields, and duck blinds throughout America.

COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY: Colt's 1872 Model "P" is the quinessential American handgun, the frontier tamer, and is recognized world-wide as the "cowboy six-shooter".

COLT 1911 in .45 ACP: The greatest military handgun in American history -- make that world history -- and a design that simply cannot be effectively improved upon. Everything that has succeeded it is essentially junk, and deserves a 'sloppy-second' award. I carry one everyday, and have it beside my bed every night. A trained man with a good 1911 is absolutely well-armed for any defensive purpose.

SMITH & WESSON MODEL 36: The J-frame "Chief's Special" is the most widely-used self-defense revolver in the U.S., and is the perfect choice for anyone who needs a really small, totally reliable, high-quality, simple-to-operate handgun for self-defense. Ideal for women, and ideal for non-gun people who want to keep things simple. Extreme high-quality for a comparatively low price.
