This is America! No need to choose one over the other!
I don't even limit myself to one style of rifle, shotgun, or handgun. I like semi-auto rifles and pistols, single and double action revolvers, pump shotguns, bolt or lever action rifles, you name it, I like it.
Both. However I have twice as many rifles, as I do handguns at the moment. I have really gotten into shooting scoped rifles lately. I just added a scope to my 597, which makes my 4th scoped rifle now.
aaahh..handguns are my first love ,I think its because I was raised around long guns & never had a handgun until after I was married.Still love my bushmaster carbine XM-15,It was my dream gun when I was but a lad(had more toy m-16's than I can remember)then shotguns ,actually went through a weird gotta have more shotguns phase but thatsd another story
1) handguns 2) rifles 3) shotguns but I love em all really ,never can have enough
