    Default What handguns do you pass over when taking some to the range?

    I’m not asking about collector grade safe queens.
    When I go shooting I usually take about three handguns and one rifle. I notice that there are a few in the safe I routinely pass over. It’s not because I don’t like them or they’re bad shooters and it’s certainly not because they’re too nice to risk scratching.
    I’m wondering what guns does the community have that don’t see much range time.
    For me it’s a pair of Beretta 92s and a glock 21. There’s nothing wrong with them, I just dont seem to ever take them out.

    All, just bring rifles. I shoot my pistols up state several times a year.

    1911s and Sig P220s. I hate cleaning hammer fired guns.

    My SP-101 has been left behind as of late. I am trying to get to know my more recent acquisitions. My 1911 isn't shooting to my satisfaction either so it's left behind more and more.

    The first handgun I ever purchased, a stainless Ruger P89-DC. She's more than earned her keep over the years and gets to rest in the cabinet unmolested.

    That quirky little 25 ACP Junior Colt with the 22short conversion,

    The 303 Enfield, 'cause I've only got 20 WWII rounds for it, and they're worth more to some wierd collectors than they are as shootin' fodder

    Shotguns - - just BECAUSE !

    When I go to the range, I usually tke somebody with me - preferably young and STRONG - and use them as pack-mule for the guns and ammo.

    The one I usually pass over is the H&K P7 M8. The reasons are the gun heats up after about 30 rounds one can fry an egg on it, the value of it increased from the price I paid for it making it more of an investment, and tactically it harder to transition from the P7 to any other handgun because its unique firing system.
