It's always tough to decide which guns to take with me when I go shooting.
Ruger P89DC (9mm). Great gun for teaching people to shoot and there are always a couple of people at the range needing some instruction.
Sig 220 (45ACP). Love that pistol. Had it ported and double sprung and it shoots easy now, more like a 9mm or a .40
Ruger GP100 Stainless. Great wheel gun. Did some handloads for it in .38 that does same-hole shooting at standard 25 foot targets. At least, when the wiff shoots it!
Dang awesome. I pity the fool who ever breaks into our house when she's home and armed with that puppy.
Winchester Model 94. (30-30) Great short-range rifle. Just flat out fun to shoot.
SKS, Chinese. Another FUN gun to shoot. Highly accurate, even with the stock iron sights. Never really encountered a gun like this before!
Ruger Super Blackhawk (.44 Magnum) As accurate as any rifle. Put Pachmayr grips on it and you can shoot it all day.
Ruger M77 (30-06). Packs a wallop. For Christmas one year, my wife got me the special edition stainless with the grey zebra stock. Very nice look! Put a nice Leupold scope on it and love shooting that puppy.
A couple of other guns are a lot of fun. A lot of times, a gun is a lot more enjoyable if it's been worked over a little by a talented gunsmith.
What makes shooting REALLY fun for me is loading my own ammo. If I want wadcutters, it's a lot of fun to watch the paper targets get little holes in them! If I want super power, I can load heavy or if I want some loads for the kids in a big gun, I can do that too. But best of all is loading for accuracy. It's a great way to do a little science, learn about ballistics, etc. etc.
One of those things that has a great instant reward. Guns are fun!
