As a boy, I hunted deer with my dad in the North Woods of Maine with a 32 Winchester Special. That sweet lever action and wood stock sure made an impression on me.

Overall, the 1911 takes the prize.
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

Reading another post got me to thinking about what would I consider to be the most patriotic/American gun and with the 4th of July being tomorrow figured this would be a good time to see what everyone consider as the most "American/Patriotic" gun to them.

For me it was an easy one and really the only one that came to mind, Colt 1911.
1911 Govt.
Doesn't have to be a Colt, many manufacturers helped win the wars.
Looks as *censored* today as it did 108 years ago.
I think I'm making an impression on my 14 year old.
In a world where everyone thinks Glock is something special, he appreciates a fine 1911.
Steel is real.
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser men so full of doubts.”
― Bertrand Russell
